Back in the U.S.!!

Hello everyone!!!

Barcelona was an amazing week for me! Our group that went there saw 28 salvations. Peole's hearts were open to the love of Jesus Christ and God really used our unity as a group as well to show others that we had a love not of this world. There were SO many amazing stories- I'll post some of them later! :)

I messed up my hand last Wednesday and had it in a sling for the past 4 days. It was a slight discouragement, because I was down a hand for half the trip, it being my right (strong) hand. I got back to Ames this morning at around 3:30 and got 4 hours of sleep before going to the doctor at 8:30.

After multiple x-rays and tests, she diagnosed me with severe tendonitis in my right hand. Right now I have a hand brace, sling and lots of sterrhoids. A prayer request would be that it would heal QUICKLY, as I'm soloing with the ISU orchestera a week from today, with a dress rehearsal on Tuesday. At this point, I can barely move my fingers, so I'm going to need a lot of healing in order to be able to perform!

I will update again soon about Barcelona-- there is MUCH to say! Pics coming soon too! Lets just say I ove Spain, Jesus, and all my brothers and sisters from DSM! I have a love and respect for you guys that deepened so much this past week! :)
