Goodbyes tend to often be a bittersweet experience.
This weekend i had to say goodbyes to seven very amazing new friends which where very bittersweet.Seven of the interns here at Urban Promise had to return to their home in Germany after spending a year. I only knew they for 4 short weeks but they had all become very dear friends. I am very grateful for the chance i had to meet them and get to know them, but wasn't ready to say goodbye so soon.

On Saturday we had a birthday party for two of the interns
which was also a goodbye part in a lot of ways. We all met up and carried out
picnic BBQ down to a park where we enjoyed food, friends and fellowship for one
last time all together. It was a glorious evening with the sun streaming
through the trees as we all sat together laughing, talking and eating. I will
truly miss these times with them!
This week has also been a really good one for a lot of different reasons.
On Sunday I was so encouraged to go to my home church and see four of my friends make profession of their faith as well as to see and talk with everyone. I was blown away by the interest in my life this summer and support I received. Felt so very blessed after visiting and talking with so many people.

Camp has also been going super well, today I had such a great
hour with my group of girls.
Instead of doing the regular scheduled bible study I decided to have them read Psalm 139 together and talk about what it meant. It was really neat to get them talking and to hear their thoughts on the passage and how they felt about the fact that God cares to know every detail about them. We ended this hour together by talking about what “beautiful” really is, whether it was a physical thing or something that is on the inside of a person. It was really encouraging to hear them talking and sharing about things like this!

To top off this week so far my big brother came down for the
evening to take me out for dinner and to talk to me about life! It was really
awesome to hang out with him like that! Love that guy so much!!
