Second Commandment

From Josh: hey!

Hey Y'all! I know I haven't talked to a lot of you in a long time, sorry about that. First of all, my congratulations and prayers to Sarah and Silas on their marriage. Also, congratulations to Susan and her beau.

Right now I'm living in Glasgow, Scotland about to come home (on July 3) and finishing up my first "year" of NieuCommunities. NieuCommunities is a 10 month apprenticeship program in which 10 people go to Scotland to live together in a missional community and learning about how to serve God and live Christ like lives in an increasingly Godless culture. God has done amazing things in all of our lives this year. It has been incredible to watch Him move all of us from a place of selfishness to relying and depending on Him and each other. We have also formed tight bonds with each other, basically becoming each other's family. This was really apparent on Christmas, since none of us made it home. Another really cool thing that happened this year was that we got to plant a church in a church building that hadn't been used as a church in over 50 years. (a lot of church buildings over here are either used for pubs or schools) We started out very small, but have been steadily growing. Anyhow, what have the rest of you been up to?
