I'm here!

   So, for those of you following my Cassie in Canada facebook group or this blog, you might have been wondering if I'm safe and sound in Newfoundland or not. Well, I am! I arrived late Friday night, met the other two summer missionaries serving with the Texas team (Charlie, Chelsea, Jourdan and me) who are from North Carolina, so we have some other students thrown into the mix this summer besides the Texans. :) The six of us have bonded so quickly and we already have met so many people! We are staying in a dorm room on campus which is rented out during the summer, like a hostel. So, you can imagine the opportunities we have had in meeting people from around Canada and other parts of the world! 
   Right now, we are really spending time getting to know people in St. John's, Newfoundland and working with whatever our supervising pastors, Steve or Adam, tells us to do! We were able to spend time in church Sunday morning in Ferryland where a couple has started a church out of their home and have committed to providing a Christian church where there are few or none. Please be in prayer for this family as they continue to open their hearts and homes to the people of Ferryland. Also, on Sunday night, we had the St. John's New Life Fellowship service which was just as great because we were able to meet a few students who were regular attenders from China! This was the first time I've been able to meet international students which was just an amazing experience!! 
   Anyway, it is very late here right now, so I'm going to cut this blog a little shorter than I'd hoped. I promise to keep you updated on God's amazing journey He is taking us on in Newfoundland. Please be in prayer for our group and those around us, especially the summer missionaries serving with me- Chelsea, Charlie, Jourdan, Mike and Brad. 


God Bless!
Cassie
