Well classes are well underway which means things have actually started happening at Wesley! Small groups started last week! Mine is on Thursday nights and my student leader's name is Laura. We had 7 girls this past week and are expecting 2-3 more next week. It really is the perfect size. The girls seemed excited to be there and to meet new people. The first two weeks we are just building community and getting to know each other. Next week we will begin reading and studying a book by Beth Moore called "Breaking Free". Pray that God gives us a grace to create a comfortable environment for the girls and that the book speaks to each of them exactly where they are at in life.

Discipling is going GREAT. I have 6 girls who I meet with weekly and they are such amazing girls. All 6 are just totally different from the next. It is so cool to see how God has each of us at different places with different experiences and understandings. I am really enjoying getting to know each of them and catering to their specific needs in our time. God is really blessing those 6 hours so pray that His blessings continue.

Wednesday night services continue to be blessed and just go really well and smoothly. We are really retaining students and seeing a joyful heart in them. There has been a grace in worship to really abandon all else and put God first for a time. Every Thursday morning we meet as a staff and go over the previous night. Each week there are just tons of stories of how the Lord did amazing things in students lives and through our staff.

Women's ministry is just now getting our events for the semester planned out and on the calendar. We are planning karaoke nights, WHOA-men's night (a night of all manly things such as video games, poker, pizza, sports etc.), potlucks, a chili cook off, retreats, a conference called "restored", and many other things!!! Pray for our planning meetings to be productive and for the lord to bless us with creativity.

Thank you all for your continued prayer support and encouragement! I'm really loving being here and the Lord is just doing great things!!! I will be continually praying for you all as well!
