gooood byeee!!

well, mondays the big day! turkturk day as we call it. i still cant believe we're going. im sad to leave vegas; i love this city!! but im sure i ll fall in love with turkey too. we just moved back to the pier; where we've been living the past 3 months. we moved to canyon ridge churches missonary house for the past week since there was a mission adventures team of 60 kids coming. little did we know how little we'd have at this house, but we made due. we travelled every morning for about 30 minutes to the beach house for lectures and meals. im pretty sure 1/2 of our week was spent driving between the pier, beach house, and mission house.

on monday, me and zianna decided that for our free night we wanted to join the MA kids, and help them do some free prayer on fremont. i actually started getting 'home sick' from the base .. i really did miss it. i feel like ive packed way too many times in the past week, trying to get stuff packed away for the next couple of months, and what i ll need for turkey and everything else in between. im interested to see how im going to make 6 shirts and 2 pairs of shorts last for 2 months .. hmmm.

this week, josh, one of the FT staff here, was our speaker for the week. the topic was 'bible discovery'. SUPPPER interesting; i loved it, and learned a lot. the week felt like it went by really quick!

last night, for speaker hang out we went to the hot springs (about 35 min away?) by hoover dam. its a 2 mile hike into the springs, in pitch blackness, climbing rocks and whatnot. when we finally got to the springs, there was 3 pools; really warm, warm, and cool. it ended up being a really long hike; about 3 hours or so in total. we didnt get back to the house until after 12. we left at like 7 !

heather, zianna, woo, kristen & me in the hot spring !

so monday; the 9 of us are off to new york (and then meeting up with a guy from the last dts, peter, whos joining us on outreach) and then the 10 of us are flying to turkey, later meeting up with richard (one of our leaders who went back on tuesday to england just for the week). its going to be a long day of flying; 6 hours to NY, 2 hour lay over, and 11 hours to turkey.

ive sent out a email to all the email addresses that i had on my gmail letting them know about our weekly update email. if you want to get in on it, you better email me sooon! konrathbeth@gmail.com . we wont be able to mention a lot of the cities/towns that we're in, or mention a lot of our contacts names, just to insure their safety and things like that. theres a couple of techniqual things that we have to be aware of going there; like not mentioning YWAM, or telling people that we're missionaries.

so please remember to keep us in your prayers and check my blog every once and a while for updates. feel free to send me emails, and i ll do my best to reply when we have chances to get on the internet! we're all super excited to see everything that God has planned for us these next 2 months, and im glad that we'll be able to share it with you all via email !!
