I’m alive, sorry.

It’s been a crazy month! We have a houseful of students now at the AO, and work has been picking up. I have made myself and my vehicle Montana residents. It’s getting colder every day.

It feels good that things are picking up, but the last three weeks have been so hard emotionally. I’ve been feeling extremely homesick. Honestly, even with just writing about it now I’m about to start crying lol. Prognosis right now is to just tough it out but any other advice is welcomed.

Here are some pictures from the last month.

The Missoula Symphony played a free concert of John Williams music in the park. Hot dogs and Coors Banquet went along with it perfectly.

My view of Flathead Lake during the All-Church Campout last weekend.

Sunset in Missoula over the Clark Fork River

View from the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church!

Ian and I went out for drinks the other night at a really cool cocktail bar.

I’m looking forward to autumn continuing to unfold here. It has been beautiful so far. I’m also looking forward to our AO hour retreat next weekend up on Lake Mary Ronan.

My birthday is coming up next week and it feels pretty weird to be so far away from my friends during this time. I’ll update y’all with what birthdays look like out here when the time comes hehe.

Continued prayers are welcomed as I continue to figure out what normal looks like out here. Love you all!
