Hillhouse

Hello, family and friends!!:)
These past couple of days at Hillhouse have been absolutely amazing. Everyone is growing so much in their faiths and relationships with Christ, both English and American alike!! The dramas and worship team impacted a lot of the teens, and the games have brought us all closer together. Many of us have already formed friendships that will definitely last for a long time:) (We have also convinced a lot of our English friends to come visit us in America!! hahaha) Many of the teens from our team have shared their testimonies, whether it was on Easter Sunday, or during the retreat. We have all stepped up in some way, putting ourselves out there, hoping to be used by God in any way possible!! And so far, He's used us every time we put ourselves out there:) This retreat has honestly been amazing, there's way too much to put here!!! Each of us has a different story, so when we get home, I suggest asking each of us how God has used us and what He has been teaching us this week. I'm definitely positive that every single one of us will be crying tomorrow when we say goodbye to all of our English friends - many of us have already discussed staying here in England..... Shhhhh;)

A little personal note:) - hi to my mom, dad, Hope and Ryan!!!! (I survived the plane AND I'm 17!!! Hahahaha) I miss you all so dearly and wish that I could talk to you:( Hello to Greg as well!!!:) I miss you too:(

Also from Aaron Panagotopulos - he says hi to his mom:)

Love all of you guys so much and thank you so much for your prayers, they've honestly helped so much!!! <3

  2. Thanks for the update Holly!! Keeping you all in prayer and thought as you finish your Hillhouse journey. I am sure it will be hard to leave your new friends, but knowing that you all met in one place to honor God, together, tells me that you are connected spiritually and no distance can be a problem! It helps to have facebook, email, etc!!

    I've enjoyed hearing your stories and updates as well as the pics. Thanks so much for taking the time to try and get the updates posted!! I hope that the end of your journey is amazing and that you have all made memories and friends to last a lifetime.

So here is my prayer for you...Thank you Lord for each of these amazing students who have given their spring break to join u with ur work in UK Please use today to bless others in UK and send someone else specifically to spur them on in your love and good deeds. Grant them stamina, wisdom, joy, creativity, humility, and boldness for the opportunities you have already ordained for them. GIve them a your eyes, heart and hands for the people you place in Their path today. Speak to them through your word, lndwelll and cover them with your spirit help them see every obstacle and frustration as an opportuni to see u work use them to lift you high to draw all including them to You. Thank you Jesus.
