   I really should update this thing, but I don't have much time. Briefly I'll say that this past week was Mission Week at Imperial College and it went really well. There were evangelistic talks everyday at lunchtime and our speaker was really good. He clearly and boldly shared the Gospel often and many people heard. Several non-Christians attended the talks, and many came to more than one. A lot of people were asking questions and it was just really cool to see that people are seeking God (sometimes you begin to think there aren't any!), and it was so evident that God is working in their lives. It was a really exciting week and I'm just so thrilled that the Gospel was proclaimed at Imperial and encouraged by my students who are passionate about reaching their friends and campus for Jesus.

   Early tomorrow morning, I am leaving for southern Spain for the STINT mid-year conference. We will be reuniting with people who are on STINT all over Western Europe and Central Asia. I expect it to be a really refreshing, restful and encouraging week and I'm so excited! I made some friends at STINT briefing in August, so I'm excited to see them again. It will be so fun to talk with them and hear how things have been going for them in ministry and in life. It will be so fun and encouraging to talk with people who are doing the same thing I am: living overseas, working with college students and serving the Lord. Plus, it's going to be awesome to be on the beach in warm, sunny Spain! :)

   Oh, there's so much to write about. Germany and Spain were awesome! Heidelberg is a really pretty city and we had fun exploring and experiencing the city at Christmas. I loved spending time with Ann and Shelley and we had a lot of fun! Then, it was really good to be in Barcelona with old friends. There were five of us from our CCC team in NYC. It was really relaxing and fun, the city is beautiful, the weather was great and I ate a lot of delicious food! I love Barcelona!
   Then my sister came and visited me and we had a wonderful week together. We explored most of London and even went to Paris for a day! It was so good to have her here. I love my sister dearly. And now I'm sad, and a little homesick, since she's gone.

Here are some pics:

I know it's time to update this thing, but I've always been too tired/lazy to do it. I should though, because lots of good things have been happening!

Here are the highlights:
Thanksgiving dinner! (So much delicious food, so much fun!)
Going on the London Eye at night! (So beautiful with all the city lights!)
Pub dinner (cottage pie, "chips", peas and treacle--proper English food, so good!)
Hanging out with STINTers from Turkey (the country) and a Crusade intern from CO (really nice, really fun people!)
Watching "Casino Royale" in the theater (a proper British experience and a really entertaining movie!)
Looking at the Christmas lights on Oxford and Regent Streets (So beautiful, and really fun for getting in the Christmas spirit!)

Oh, I am loving London and it's only going to get better as we get closer to Christmas!!!

   I got a haircut and I really like it! (It might not look too different to you, but there are lots of layers, which makes my hair look wavy!)
