"And even though I realize I can not always mend or meet, I can enter in. I can enter into someone else's pain and sit with them and know . This is Jesus. Not that He apologizes for the hard and the hurt, but that He enters in, He comes with us to the hard places. And so I continue to enter." -Kisses From Katie

Today was 67 degrees and SUNNY! (not the picture above, that was in the 50s and cloudy) This was unheard of in England, I may have actually gotten a tan here. We basked in the sun in the garden (yard to us americans) all day today, it was glorious. There are so many funny terms that they use here. I absolutely have to bring them back to the states. Even the english kids are so proper and so witty and quick. I couldn't love them any more. Lovely, trousers, biscuits (cookies without frosting or choc chips), cue (a waiting line), ah there are so many. Tonight we went to a town called Inglesby and played footie with the kids for 3 hours! It was some form of heaven, I'm sure. They had so many questions for me and told me some hilarious impressions they have of what America is like. I hope I cleared their image of thinking we are all trying to make our way into the Playboy mansion and going to water parks every other weekend while worshipping Justin Bieber. What an odd life that would be. The kids truly don't have much understanding of a savior in their lives, nor do they truly see a need for one. It is disheartening but also encouraging to know that we were all called here for a reason.
"But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." Acts 20:24
