MSU

Today, as we do once week, we went to Michigan State University, which has 40 or 50 thousand students. We do open air and pass out literature, but right now we are also observing so we can so understand what the student body as a whole is thinking. Today, people would walk past and laugh out loud when one of the guys whould be preaching. It just reminded me how much people need the Lord and that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that are perishing. It has made me heart heavy to realize that a hundred years from now, many of those students will be spending an eternity in hell. We have the the truth, we MUST share it.

Tigers Game

Saturday night I went to a Detroit Tiger's game with same young people form Canada and some of the students from the Ezekiel project. While I personally enjoy basketball, it was really fun to go to the game and enjoy America's favorite pass time There was even a fireworks show afterwards! By the way, the Tigers are #1 in the American league right now and the won against Boston at the game. Below and to the left are some pictures form the ball park.





Hope you enjoyed it! I know I did!

Simply Breathtaking

When I walked out of the house Wednesday morning, I looked to my right and this is what was waiting for me. It was a bit foggy and the sun was just starting to make its way up over the horizon. It took my breath away well, that or the nippiness in the air. God did not have to make such a beautiful earth for us to live on, but it is just one of the many amazing things He has done for us for no other reason than love for us.

Sweet Fellowship

Friday night I, along with all the other Ezekiel Project students and staff, was invited to go over to Anna and Bruce Henning's home. (Bruce is a fellow student and he is full time with TEP.) The food was wonderful and it was great getting to know the Hennings and being able to relax with everyone to get to know them better. We had some great laughs and I know we will be sharing memories from that night for a long time to come. The Lord is so good to give such a precious time to us.

The first day of class was yeasterday, it went really well and I am even more excited about this year. The offical leaving date for our road trip to California is the first of October. It will be here before I know it! The picture to the right is just one of the many corn fields in this beautiful area. The weather was been wondeful with the highs not even reaching 80. The chaple up here had a baptism and picnic. It was a great time of fellowship and I enjoyed getting to know the people up here a little better. More later.

Trembling Legs

Today we went to do a high ropes course as a school. It was scary and at points I thought I would fall and not be able to make it around the course. Christina, one of the staff members at TEPSE, kept telling that I could do it if the person in front of me could. I ended up making it! The picture to the right is me saying a quick word of prayer before I went.

Friends

This is my house mate and friend, Becca Wilson. We are both living at the Graham's this year. She took classes with me in high school and then the Lord led her to Michigan with me! I am so blessed to have another female student and a Georgia girl up here. Please pray for her as well, especially because she has to live with me for the next nine months!

On the Road

Tonight, I am sitting in a hotel room in Cincinnati on my way to Michigan. Many thoughts are going through my head I was think over the past few days of saying good bye to my family and friends, but the excitement is building with each mile as Michigan gets closer and closer. We plan on arriving tomorrow. Please continue to pray for us (me, my mom, my classmate Becca Wilson, and her mom, Jennifer) as we finish up the trip that the Lord will continue to grant traveling mercies. Also, pray for the moms as the travel home this Sunday and Monday. During the following week we will have orientation and then classes will start on September 5th. More updates and pictures will follow shortly.
