From Africa to Texas to Colorado to Denmark

We are finally back and settled in Denmark after a lot of traveling. Our trip to Africa was amazing and one that we will not soon forget. We were privileged to see God working in many ways. I believe that the hearts of our students were changed forever and this trip will definitely leave a deep mark on their heart. We serve an awesome God! Me and a sweet little girl named "Happiness"
Martin and Samuel, our little buddy who lived at the orphanage where we stayed in Kenya.
After 6 weeks in Africa we left for Texas. We got to spend 5 awesome weeks there with my family and friends. It was so good to be home and relax for a longer period of time. We spent a lot of time at the lake house and with my family. We felt very encouraged and energized to come back and start a new year in Denmark.

While we were in Texas we decided to take a little roadtrip up to Durango to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. It was a very good time. We went back and visited Blue Lake Ranch, where we got married. We also found some time to hike, kayak and just relax.So now we are back in Denmark and we have had a awesome start up with Euroclass and Teen Radical. We have a great bunch of new students at Euroclass this year. I am really looking forward to the rest of the year. Right now I'm teaching the Alpha Course and Communications. They are learning how to share their testimony in English. Martin is in school for the next 5 weeks so that he can get his bus drivers license. :) This way we will be able to take the Euroclass bus and drive our students all over Europe. It's going to open up a lot of opportunities, so we are excited about that.
Teen Radical is also going great. We have started a different schedule this year where we are meeting on Monday nights and eating together and then following that we have prayer, worship, teaching, etc. Then, on Thursday nights we open the club in the youth space Martin built and they can come and go as they please. We have a little cafe, games, activities, wii, and all that kind of fun stuff. The goal is to disciple them one on one and catch this crowd of young people who do not yet know Jesus.Thanks for all your prayers for us! We believe our life is all for Jesus and we are trying each day to share his love with teenagers in Denmark!

With love, Lynsey and Martin
