And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
– Mark 8:34.

Hello!
So after some shenanigans (yes it's found it's way to Italy, one of the YSA here asked me what it means and how to translate it!) involving rescuing my companion who was stranded in Venice and broken elavators, as well as a meeting with a Jehovah's witness or two, the week is over! Something that I've learnt alot about this week is personal accountability, both to ourselves and to the Lord. It's really been driven home how it can affect our relationships when we don't have it. When we hold ourselves accountable, we grow, we become stronger, we become what the Lord needs of us. We are what we need to be. As we hold ourselves to account we become able to act, and not be acted upon, and become the world changing people that makes a difference in other people's lives. We become the beacon on a hill that cannot be hid that Jesus says we are. I would really exhort each one of you to hold youselves to account for everything you do each day, and show the Lord that you appreciate what he's given you. As you do so, I promise that you'll improve and become the servants that He asks us to be!
I love you all, and hope everything is going well!
