KAM, Lubbock

Well... the days are coming to an end. This is my last week in Germany. I can't believe it. What an amazing summer and to know that it is still not over. A group of Super Summer students are here (100+) and I am so excited about them being here and what the Lord is going to do because of all the prayers that will lifted up this week, the relationships that will be made, and stories of HIS FAME that will be shared, and the worship that will happen here on earth and in heaven. I am so blessed to be apart of this Ancient Work and to be involved in something that is so much bigger than me and that can be done only through the power of prayer and because the Lord's hand is on it. Continue to pray for us this week, that we will make the most of every opportunity and finish well. Pray for me as I prepare to go home. That I will continue to be about the Glory of the Lord no matter where I am. My heart is overflowing when I think back over the summer and realize how many lives have been touched and how the Lord has touched and transformed my own life for His glory and His fame.

Mom, Dad, Carson, Jonathan and all my family and friends,
We made it here and I absolutely love it. It reminds me a lot of NYC with all the little shops and the trains. I have already gotten to use what Frau taught me when trying to navigate today. I am so excited to see how God is going to use each person on the team. Please pray for energy for all of us and a quick recovery from jet lag. I love and miss yall!

Base camp was a challenge and eye opener. The flight was amazing good rest and plenty of fun. The first day I had too much energy then jet lag hit me like a 2 ton boulder around 1 p.m. I was jumping and constantly moving to keep myself awake. The people are very open and willing to talk to us. I am very excited about what God is going to do this week with me and my group. Pray for me to keep strength and focus w/ both eyes on him. GO PINK!!!

Mom and Dad,
I'm here, I'm safe and I"m jet lagged; what more do you want? The flights were smooth and the second was an hour late. I haven't slept in 30 hours and I've been walking and riding trams all afternoon. As soon as they let me go I'm going to take a shower and sleep. I love you all and tell Mom and Aunt Teresa they have my permission to imagine they are hugging me when they hug each other. Remind everyone to keep praying for us. My group will be ministering at a science college to mostly German people. Again I love you all and am too tired to write anymore.
Love,
CGM

Hey all. Things are going awesome. Base camp was cool and Germany is even better than I thought. Plane ride was long and I have not gotten any sleep in 32 hours. Hopefully I'll get a lot tonight. We did a big scavenger hunt today that took us all over Koeln. So just continue to pray that God would mover in these next couple days. Thanks for your support.
P.S. Happy B-day Dad!

Dear Family and friends,
We made it! After an intense and frustrating base camp, I have finally made my way to Germany. Praise God! What I thought was tears of joy as I stepped into the hostel was soon followed by stomach aches, headaches, and a sudden urge to sleep--JET LAG!! It hit very hard due to the fact that I had zero hours of sleep! God willing, I will soon be rested. Today we enjoyed a scavenger hunt all over Cologne. It was a lot to take in, but Daddy, you would be proud of my map skills! I can't wait to get started with the Father's work tomorrow...I know about five German phrases!:) All my love and see you soon.
