              The past 2 weeks I have been home in Minnesota getting ready
for my move down to Gainesville, Georgia for another year! While I was home, I
got to see some friends, spend time with family, and relax from my trip from
Africa. I miss Africa a lot and hope that I will be able to go back again
someday. I learned so much and built lasting relationships with my team. I miss
them a lot and wish that I could be back, being a leader and watching them grow
in the Lord. It was a blessing to be able to be apart of that. Here are some
pictures that I took from Africa:

                On
Thursday, Ashley, my sister, my mom, and I drove down to Indiana, and then
finished our trip to Georgia on Friday. Over the weekend, we put together my
apartment that I am staying in and actually made it look like a nice place. My
roomie Jimmy will be moving in after the World Race training camp in a week and
then we will get another room mate, Joshua, a new intern (what I did last year)
who will be here in September. It will be good to be on my own but still have
people in the house to build me up and be there for me. All of a sudden it is
all real though, life on my own. I went out and bought groceries with my own
money and everything…just weird to be totally on my own. Sunday morning we went to church and I got to see all of the boys at the youth group! It was great to get a bunch of hugs and just get to chill with them! I can’t wait to continue to pour into them and have them pour into others!

                Today
is my “first” on AIM staff day, even though I have been working here for the
last 10 months as an intern. Right now they are renovating AIM, so I am sitting
at a desk in the middle of now where. I am ready for the office to be completed
so I can settle in and know exactly what I will be doing. But I am open to
everything and really enjoying life! I feel like this is where God wants me
right now, which is why I am here. I am excited to see what God has in store
for me here and all the awesome things I am going to be learning. Just a reminder,
I am working as the Web Design/IT & Marketing guy around here. I am really
excited about getting to redesign the AIM website completely this time, not
just pieces here and there, but the entire deal! Plus, I can learn about
marketing and continue to grow my strengths in that. Like I said before, I am
just really excited about what I am getting into! Also, I quick support update;
I have $1,500 in my support account, which means I have 3 months already taken
care of. My support goal is $500 a month, the rest of my expenses are subsidized
by AIM. If you can find in your budget, please prayerfully consider partnering
with me. Thank you!
