Capernwray Part 2

Hey all,

Sorry it's been a while, but not too sorry because I've been having a great time while being here.
Its hard to know where to start so I'll try with the most recent happenings. As I said I'm having a great time. It's been so wonderful to be surrounded by so many awesome people and make some great friends. I've missed that so much and I'm so blessed to have this time from God. I've also been learning so much. It's hard to say what exactly, we have so many lectures weekly and are constantly being poured into that it can be a bit overwhelming at times. I do know that God has been speaking to me though.

Today we've been having a prayer focus day and we had some guest speakers come and talk to us about prayer. I can't remember his name exactly but the one man was from Uganda and he had an amazing testimony of how he actually saw Jesus when he was 16. We also had a time of prayer together in one of our lectures that was very moving. We prayed for each other and our nations and worshipped God.

I've just finished reading the book "Blue Like Jazz" and it was one of the most beautiful books I've read in a long time. I felt really challenged as well as very stirred up about the way God can speak to people that breaks through religious traditions. I can't exactly go into the whole book but you should definitely read it. The author is Donald Miller.

I've been managing to keep up the exercise while being here. Yesterday me and my friend Rachel went for an 8 mile run which just about killed us. It wasn't the distance but the heat. We've been running together since I got here and 8 miles was no problem but it's been soooo incredibly hot and sunny that by the end we were ready to pass out. We ended up cutting through some fields, scaring some sheep and jumping into a very muddy pond behind the school. It was the most refreshing thing in the entire world! We ended up having to eat our tea in soaking clothes but a fun memory!

This weekend I'm going bowling Friday night with some others in a town nearby called Morcombe and then Sunday evening I'm on an outreach team with 4 others at a local church nearby. We're leading their after service youth service. It should be fun!

Well I should get going as my internet time is almost up. Just thought I'd try to get a bit of what I've been up to out to you all. I think I've lost most of any English accent I had as I'm surrounded by mostly North Americans.

I hope everyone is well, drop me an email if you get a chance, I'd love to hear from you.

Love and Blessings, Jenny*
