June 16

Yesterday I celebrated my 1 year anniversary of being here in London. Last June 16, I stepped off a BA plane at terminal 5 at 6am in the morning, totally unaware of what this year would hold. Yesterday morning (not at 6am!), I headed down to meet some of my teammates in the market, where we spent some time reading Psalm 115 and 116 together and praying for the market. Then we went out and gave muffins to market traders and got into some really good discussions. Afterwards, I trekked over to my team leader's house and worked on formatting a worship book that we're putting together for the churchgroup. I also helped to welcome the summer interns, who stopped by to meet our team. And in the evening, I got together with my friend/fellow apprentice who stepped off the plane with me, and then went to watch X-Men with some other apprentices. It was a good day. And just amazing to think of how different June 16, 2011 was from the one in 2010. I had no idea what I was getting myself into! But God did, and He's been so faithful through it all.
