June Bug(s)

So it is officially summer in Pittsburgh and it is HOT! Not only have I been fighting off the invasion of stinkbugs (okay - Ben actually does this because I refuse to touch them) but I've also been putting off turning on the air conditioning. In an attempt to save $$ I am trying to get used to the heat since Laura and I won't have air in our new apartment!

I must say, Pittsburgh is also really growing on me. With less students and more sunshine I am really enjoying life in the city. One of my new favorite things is movie night! The Pittsburgh parks show free movies twice a week during the summer and last night was the first! With blanket and popcorn in hand we hiked up to Flagstaff Hill and watched the original Batman as the sun set over Oakland. We will definitely be doing more outdoor movie watching this summer!

Along with the summer heat coming into town God has really been present this week. I had a good amount of support come in and have been really encouraged by the responses from others. This process is a lot more difficult and trying of my faith than I expected - but August is when all the fun starts! This weekend I am off to Virginia to visit family and hopefully snag a few appointments while I'm there. Be praying for safe travels and that God would continue to send Ministry Partners my way!
