January/Training/Leaving Update

Hello friends! A lot has gone on since my last update. January was a month full of training! I had an amazing week in Orlando for Young Life's All Staff Conference. It only happens once every 4 years and there were 4,000 people there! It was amazing to see where YL has come in just 4 years...it was also great to see friends and meet my whole team from Heidelberg. They are great and I am really looking forward to working with them.

After All Staff we drove across the state to Crystal River for two weeks of New Staff Training. There were 200 of us going through the 2 intensive seminary courses. It was a lot of work but it was also fun. I was sent home with a lot of homework to finish before April 30th.

I am finally on my way to Germany on Monday, Feb. 4th! This is really exciting and also a little scary! :-) As soon as I get to Heidelberg I have tons of stuff to do!! We have middle school club that night and middle school camp in 2 weeks!

I have my new PO box address in Germany, mailing rates are the same as within the U.S.:
Laura Livingston
CMR 119 Box 1959
APO AE 09102

Also, I have had a few questions about where to send support checks. The address below is the address that all checks should be sent to:
Send a check, made payable to Young Life to:
P.O. Box 2920
Colorado Springs, CO 80901-9832
Please put acct. X9119 in the memo line.
(or if you are interested in auto pay please go to www.younglife.org )

For all of my prayer warriors I do have a few prayer requests:
1.) That I will have a meaningful time with my family and friends as I am wrapping up everything and getting ready to leave.
2.) That I will have a safe flight over to Germany
3.) That my car will sell, that I can find a place to live in Heidelberg, that I can find a reliable and inexpensive car in Heidelberg.
4.) For Escape, the middle school camp that will be happening in 2 weeks.
5.) For my family as we go through some transitions.

As always, thank you so much for your continued prayers and support. You have blessed me beyond belief. Please know that I am praying for you as well! His- Laura
