Prayer

Hello Everyone!!!!!!!

First of all I would like to say THANK YOU! I know many of you are praying for me. The last week has been amazing and God is changing me and speaking to me clearly! Thank you for the time you spend praying for me. Thank you for supporting me in emails and regular mail!

Here are my prayer requests and praises! Know you have a huge ministry by praying for me and others here!

I realize that I include a lot in these emails. Some of you have requested it...some of you are probably wondering WHY THE HECK am I getting all of this information. Please allow the Lord to lead you to one area to pray for if you choose- Whether that be one of the youth, a request for me, my ministry through YFC...whatever! I don't want these emails to turn into monotonous lists!

Updates:
Josh, the YFC director, arrived home safely this past Wednesday. Thank you for praying for him while he was on a YFC intern recruiting trip in the states. I actually haven't seen him since he has been back. I am not sure what the outcome of the trip has been.
My health: I caught a cold in London but I am finally feeling better today. I have never been as sick as I have been like I have in the last six months. Praise that I am feeling better!
Trip to London: It was a great time! I enjoyed seeing all the sights. Laura and I were safe and we felt rested and refreshed after the trip.
Loneliness: It has been good. I think it will be an ongoing thing. Anytime you are in transition you have loneliness. I am grateful for how God is using it. I am also grateful for my down time. I would enjoy meeting more people my age but that takes time!!!

Those are some updates- my other updates include more prayer/praises...so I will just put them below.

General:
Jesse and Joy Larvick: This is the youth pastor I work for and his wife. They are going to have a baby anytime now. Pray for the health of Joy and the baby. Pray for Jesse as he transitions with work and the life with two children.
Westlake Youth: Pray for God to continue to give Jesse a good vision for the youth program. Pray for good support from the church and the parents of the youth. We are hosting a night for Parents in December. Pray for that time as we all come together.
My Teaching: I will be teaching the next two weeks in Sunday School. I am not good at it but it is something I want to develop this next year. Pray that I could understand things fully and then articulate them simply!
Youth For Christ Geneva: Continue to pray for unity within our team. Also pray for our Make a Difference Days we have for the students at the International Schools. Pray that the contact we make with the students would be beneficial for them as they are striving to be "whole" people.
Service Project 2007: Pray for a location to be settled by the end of the month. Pray for Paul as he is communicating with different sights around Europe. Also pray for the preperation that lies within the office.
Bethany: She works for YFC and is trying to finish her funding. Pray for people to catch her vision to work with Au Pairs. Pray for a Dallas company to support her (she recently wrote a letter for support).
Praise: I am starting to feel very settled and comfortable here! Continue to pray for a comfortable social outlet.
Praise: God is really blessing me through my personal study in the word and through prayer. Pray that God would continue to transform me. Pray for development in my study and in my prayer life.
Praise: My parents and brother are coming to visit the day after Christmas. It has really been the work of God in it all. Praise for the people who have been generous. Praise that they would be blessed because of their generosity. It truly is ministering to me!
My French: I would like to learn French, but for a good price! I would like to find someone or a class that is not expensive, but also where it would teach me the language.
I am also looking for someone to mentor me while I am here. Please pray that God would bring us together.
