Brilliant!

We arrived in London on Tuesday morning and it was really tough for all of us to stay awake to fight jet lag! We have been growing closer as a team and there has been some teachable moments with a few students that have strong personalities. Here are some activities over the past week:
 
-Lindsey went to the grocery store 3 times in 2 days & has been cooking 3x a day with students
-Rainer has been working on finance & exchanged money and handed it out to the students multiple times
-We had tea & worship with members of the church in London
-The team went out to share the gospel and invite people to our concert at the church
-We had a concert at the church in London for church members & guests
-We crossed the English Channel on the ferry (with no incidents this time!)

Baby Powell

Yes! We are pregnant! We are so grateful for this blessing and would welcome your prayers of safe travels, healthy development and health of mom & baby. It was really fun telling our family, friends, Reign staff & our team! We are expecting a healthy addition to our family due to arrive in February.
