from missouri to mass...

bobby and nathan are finally here!! yay! the boys officially moved out here last weekend, and then moved into their sweet new bachelor pad on saturday. and when i say sweet, i mean it...their place is definitely in the heart of downtown boston, with a nice 2 min walk to the T and something like 1300 sq ft of living space. i'm a little jealous. however, i'm not so jealous of their monthly rent. :)

so God has been and continues to be totally providential in every aspect of us being here. the big things, like housing...all the way to the little things, even the shortest of conversations. so if you are one who has been praying for sojourn, thanks! and praise God for bobby and nathan's new place. now they just need a couple jobs, please pray for that.

the sun decided to hang out in new england today, so that was great. it was something like 10 straight days of darkness and rain...slightly depressing.

one of the highlights of the past week: every so often, high school or college groups come out here by way of restoration house [church planting organization] in new hampshire. usually it's for some service work and a little exposure to the northeast. well...we had such a group last week...but it was definitely seniors. and by that i mean senior seniors, not seniors in college. anyway, they were from crawfordsville, indiana, so i was happy for some home-state representation. and because i am the lone hoosier of Sojourn, i think it's safe to say they latched onto me the most. or maybe because i'm the only girl. well anyway, they were all really sweet people, and we were very encouraged by their words and prayers.

oh, and how can i forget to mention that my friend john was out here again last weekend! this time he came to run his first half marathon, which i shamelessly convinced him to do. and he did great, actually beating my personal record by five minutes. it was pretty fun for me to be the spectator at a race, a first for me. however, after a few minutes of watching, i was wishing i was in the race instead...but cheering on a friend was pretty great too. great job john!

sorry it's been awhile in writing...a lot has been happening, i'll try to write more later. i have work at harvard in t-minus five hours, g'nite friends. :)
