Today I met a guy named Johan from Sweden, he went to the torchbearers school in Colorado with a friend of mine. So she had told him about me, and given him my information, so we met today (not on purpose he just kind of showed up at the school). He lives in a city about an hour and a half away and said I could come stay at his place for a while if I wanted to and he would show me around. So if the YWAM base (where some missionaries I know are staying at) falls through I may end up going there, and stay at the Base on my christmas break. It's amazing how the Lord is working this whole ordeal out for me. Also the RA Dan wants to travel with me on Christmas break so we may go to Denmark and a few other places. I am excited.

The guest speaker this week is Chris Thomas, the founder of Torchbearers' Son. We heard about the history of the school this morning and it was really cool. I knew quite a bit of it from Greg up at the homestead but quite a bit of it is new. I loved hearing the stories. He will be going through 1st and 2nd Peter this week, which should be really neat. Next week he is going to Germany where another one of my friends is at, which I found pretty neat.

Today we have our first worship practice, it sounds like I am the worship leader for one team. We have two teams, the other leader is Jonathan from Germany (whose house I may stay at for Christmas break for a few days too). So I am excited to see where the Lord will take us this year.

I am signed up for a ministry where we go and work at a Cafe or just hang out with kids on Saturday nights, it's a place for kids to get off the streets and have good clean fun. I am really excited to see what that will be like.

The days here are getting shorter and shorter too, this morning the sun was just coming up at 7:15 when I woke up. By the shortest day it will come up at 11:00! And then it will set at about 3:30. I can't even imagine that yet.

The weather is very similar to Washington right now. Except it's been sunny for the last three or four days, which has been wonderful. Saturday I went for a 5.5 hour Canoe trip. It was so beautiful. I'll send some pictures later on. I have to go to worship practice now.

Love you guys,
Nathan
