I have been blessed to move in with a sweet host family from the PCA church, who took me in on very short notice. I moved much earlier than I anticipated, so I didn't have time to find an apartment. I traveled all around the city today and am turning in an application tomorrow - pray that if it's the Lord's will, He'll give me the apartment.

School starts here on August 30, and I am really ready to start meeting freshmen and transfer students! My co-intern Rob took me around campus today, and it got me really excited about being in a new place with lots of new faces.

Last week, MTSU's RUF had its leadership team retreat at a lake house in Smithville, Tennessee. I had a great time getting to know about 20 of the juniors and seniors who help lead RUF. They were such a blessing to me and were quick to introduce themselves and ask me questions. They made me feel so welcome! MTSU is blessed to have each one of them.

As we prepare to start this semester, please be praying for the following things:
1. Pray that God will give the leadership team and the staff direction this semester in all areas: mercy ministries, large group, small groups, Bible studies, prayer groups, parties, etc. We have a busy semester ahead, so please pray for energy and stamina.
2. Pray that the Lord will work in the lives of each of the staff members: Paul (the campus minister), Heather (a part-time intern & the church administrator), Rob (an intern), and myself. Heather will be focusing on the older girls in RUF, while Rob and I will be working primarily with freshmen and transfer students. Pray that the Lord will give us boldness to approach students about RUF!
3. Pray for the local PCA church, Trinity Presbyterian Church. The church is currently looking for a pastor and undergoing several transitions.
4. Pray for encouragement for Paul and Rachel (my campus minister and his wife) as their youngest son, Jake, faces another severe heart surgery in the near future.
5. Most importantly, pray for conversions! There are thousands of students here (it's the largest university in Tennessee), and each one of them needs the gospel!
Thank you for your support and prayers!

Love the update. And LOVE that cat picture.
Hey Aubra. I saw your post on Karyn's blog about the adoption. They are blessed to have your prayers. How would I go about making a donation toward supporting you as an intern? Email me.
