It's back to reality (sort of) today after a lovely week of for "Spring Break".  My parents and Sarah arrived in Manchester on Good Friday.  It was great to spend time with them in the place I've been calling home for the last 7 months.  We also took a train to Wales to explore Conwy Castle.  After experiencing a snowy Easter morning and a Church of England Easter service, we set off for London, where we spent Monday and Tuesday exploring the city and Windsor Castle.  They flew home Wednesday while I spent a few days in Bath before heading home to Manchester.  Here are a few pictures from the past week's adventures:

Now I'm looking ahead to our last few weeks of ministry before heading home on May 15th.  I'm trying to find a balance between pouring into ministry here (making sure I finish strong) and doing what I need to do to prepare for going home (i.e. finding a job).  Please pray for continued strength, energy, love, and grace over these next few weeks.

In Christ,
Katie
