I had such a great week here in Montana. Seriously, it was just a fantastic time of fellowship. I had wonderful times of laughter, conversation, meals, classes, etc. with the students and kiddos here at the training center. I was able to have individual time with each of the female students here during the days and evenings, and also went out for coffee and a long walk with each one at the Kootenai River Walk. It was so great to hear how God has led them to missions and what He's doing in their lives. Their excitement in their walk with God is contagious, and I so loved the awesome conversations that popped up in class, over meals, and during our walks. Each class is so different, and it's been truly exciting to be here with this group and get to invest time in relationships with them. I feel so blessed to have shared this past week here in Libby!

Tomorrow I'll head out early for a 4 hr. drive over to Spokane, WA. From there I'll fly to Portland, OR, to visit a friend for the weekend. On Monday I'll drive to Seattle, WA, for the day to visit my first viola teacher, who I haven't seen in about 20 years. I'll drive 3 hrs. there that morning and 3 hrs. back that evening, spend the night in Portland and then fly back to Charlotte from there on Tues. morning. Lots of traveling is coming up over the next few days, so I'd sure appreciate all prayers!
