Luton 20-07-07 to 10-08-07

Guess what!...we're still in the UK!!! And we still haven't been to a 24-7 Prayer 'Boiler Room'! But that is coming... [Photos: This old couch was sitting on the side of the road waiting to be taken away to the dump. We loved it!]

This is our third week here in Luton - probably the longest we've stayed in one place so far on our trip. Our friends, the Houslins, left for a wedding in Australia on the 30th of July. Since then we've had the whole house to ourselves! Crazy! We're so blessed! Especially also because there was work to do. When we arrived they had just finished putting up an extension to the house. (We're so blessed having been given the new bedroom with ensuite. Thank you!!!) That meant that there was still a lot of painting, cleaning, fixing and cookie baking to be done...it was sooo beautiful! Thank you Robert & Denise, you're such a blessing to us. Thank you for taking us in and letting us be part of your family. (Ulf would like to thank the UK for Gingerbeer and Marmite!! Emma would like to thank the UK for Pies and Golden Syrup!!)

In the secret place

During this time God has also been dealing with things in our lives and marriage (painful but good), as well as giving us deeper revelations of Him, the loving Father, Jesus the Messiah King, and His church. It was such a help to have the whole house to ourselves, in order to be able to let things out :) , or just to be quiet.

Moving on again...

On Friday we will be moving on to Stanford-le-Hope, east of London. We'll be able to stay there with a 24-7 Prayer community (Boiler Room). We're very excited about that! And it feels like they are very excited at their end, too...at least they are welcoming us very warmly in there emails. [Photo left: Bethany wearing Emma's sunglasses.

God You are so good!
