tonight.

was pretty legit.

God was so at work on the boardwalk and people came to know Him personally and that is SO exciting and encouraging. But even despite the new brothers and sisters that I have gained, I think I was really encouraged by two things in particular:

1) the prayer we opened the night with. Some students spent a good hour just praying to God for the people on the boardwalk, the students going out and sharing and just praising and thanking God for who He is and what He has done. It was cool to just spend that time talking with God, super encouraging too.
2) the last spiritual conversation that Patrick and I initiated on the boardwalk was pretty sweet. None of the guys had a personal relationship with God (and they still didn't when we were done talking with them) but it was so awesome to see how open and receptive they still were. we had a pretty long conversation with them, and my heart and prayers definitely go out to these three boys. All of them were exploring and desire to have that relationship, but have different 'obstacles' that are holding them back.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as well.

I am super tired but I kind of just wanted to write that out, and hope that you would be praying for them also.


Love and miss you all so much. Even if you don't think it, I definitely think about and pray for you often. Yeah, I don't even specifically know who reads this, but I really do love you and care about you!

Thanks again for all the support and encouragement it means so much to me. I feel so blessed God has provided me with this support. Love, Michelle
