Sorry it's been so long. Here are some more pictures - life is just so non-stop here!

This is our prayer room in the making, I lead aprayer time for the seniors (17 & 18 yr olds) each wednesday



I couldn't resist!




This is where ashley and I work.




We took the senior girls on a weekend retreat to a conference and spent the night at a log cabin.





New yrs eve (these are a little out of order) with my chocolate fountain!








This was at a conference we went to in Atlanta with 25,000 other 17-25 yr olds!



WE ok the youth on a 'youth evangelism conference'. These were my room buddies at the 'quality inn hotel'


We have a balloon ministry which consists of us decorating one of the girls cars each week in their school 'parking lot'.
This was our 80's Valentine's Night at Radiate (This is the main youth room)

Christmas with the Dodgens!


This is a huge youth event that happens each year: Redneck night before christmas. It's an excuse for everyone to put on dungarees, flannel shirts and dance around hay bails to sweet home alabama!! (These crazy americans!!!!)

Well I moved in with my hosts 'The Dodgen Family': (Kristen, Jim, Anna (18), Emily (16), Will (12) and Ben (11) and Cocoa the dog on Sunday. They live just a few miles from the church which is considered really close here :) I am staying in their basement which is all very nice and they have all made me feel really welcome.

This is my home (very american - complete with the flag!!!):
