This week was crazy!! We were back in full swing going to the orphanage and the school. The kids were amazing and so excited to see us-it was precious. Veronica, the lady over the school, took us to see the shanty town that some of the children come from. That was such a neat experience..getting to see where these children come from gave us an even bigger heart for them and their families--to just love on them and show them the love of Christ. It was definitely a wonderful week! Friday through Sunday I went to kids camp with the church we work with. It was amazing--the camp was out in the middle of nowhere. It was great--I felt like I was semi back at home. We spent time swimming and playing games outside. There were a few different sessions and worship services. I led a devotion group with some of the girls-it was great just to see the love these children have for the Lord and to see Him shining through them. It was also fun to get to know them a little more.
Now that we have passed the halfway point we are all having a few frustrations. We just know our time here is so short and want to be making the most of it. The apartment ministry is difficult--we are starting to connect with some ladies, but it's just a slow go--please continue to be praying for us as we seek the Lord's guidance in how to reach out to the people we live around.
Other parts of ministry are going so well--we are really starting to connect and build relationships with people at the church which is really encouraging.
Pray that we will continuously be a light to everyone around us.
The Lord is continuing to teach me so much--this week I have really been convicted to daily set my thoughts on Him--so many things can become distracting and not even necessarily bad things--just everyday thing. However, it is impossible for me to serve in the way I should be if my thoughts are not set on Him moment by moment. Pray that this week I will constantly be focused on Him.
Thank you all so much for your prayers!!! They mean so much to me! I love and miss you all!!! Thanks for the encouragement!!!
