Hey guys!
So this is prolly going to be my last post until outreach, and i'm not sure what internet access is going to look like then so...enjoy this little post while it lasts.
:)

Nicaragua was amazing! I'm so glad we'll be going back on outreach! The people there are so beautiful and friendly. They're so willing to just open up and share their life stories, it's really cool...yeah. AMAZING!

This is the LAST WEEK of lecture! I can't even believe it!!! I've learned so much over the past few months, about God, His love, my life, what He has for me, what's going on in the world...and so much more! Those are just the first things i thought of haha

OUTREACH!
Please please please pray for me and my outreach team! God has already been working in some pretty cool ways, and i know He's going to continue to do so. He's got some exciting, intense, awesome plans for us in these next couple months!

Oh and btw, there's a lovely video on facebook about outreach! It has a little bit of information about the vision of the Central America outreach and stuff.

PRAYER!
It's a powerful thing, so if you could pray for my team and me that would be awesome.
Leaders-Lito, Morgan, Jaymie, Melissa
Students-Melanie, Rachel, Bailey, Tawneke, Chelsey, Dave, Christine, Jose, Steve and Elizabeth and their girls Grace, Gabbi and Abby
So we've got a pretty legit group. Seriously, God is going to do some pretty awesome stuff through each person!

and here's some specific ways you can pray for me:
*focus (again). this last week is full of so much anticipation for what's going to go down!

*energy. i LOVE traveling but it always makes me really tired. and i don't think i'll really have time for naps during outreach haha

*language. aka spanish. I'm going to have TONS of opportunity to practice it, especially on outreach. So pray for my Spanish brain to work. It does sometimes, but not all the time...yet haha

*strength/boldness/courage...to do what GOD wants me to do. not only on outreach but also when i'm done with DTS.

*unity. my outreach team is awesome, we really are like a big family. so pray that our unity is protected.

THANKS SO MUCH! LOVE YOU ALL!

Ok kids, here’s what the rest of my time here is going to look like…more or less.

Week 9 (this week)- lecture on the Father Heart of God. Super cool.

Week 10- Outreach (and visa renewal) in Nicaragua! We’ll mainly be working with thy YWAM base there, as well as a neighborhood church and library. I’m SO excited! The Central American outreach team is going to be coming back to that area when we go on outreach AND I’m thinking about doing a Bible School there, so it will be sweet to check it all out.

Weeks 11&12-Last two weeks of lecture!

Week 13-NIKO…which is basically jungle survival…I think. The people who have done NIKO before aren’t allowed to tell us about it, so I don’t really know what we’re going to be doing, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be AWESOME! Yay adventures!

THEN OUTREACH! We’ll be in Costa Rica for 3 weeks, Nicaragua for 2 weeks, El Salvador for 2 weeks and Guatemala for 1 week. We’re going to be doing a little bit of everything—seriously. We’ll be working with kids, people who live in a garbage dump (literally), street people, prostitutes….there’s going to be soccer ministry, evangelizing, door to door ministry, we might even partner up with a break dancing ministry in Guatemala!

God is going to do some amazing things. He keeps on dropping little hints here and there…ahhhh it’s going to be so cool to see what He does and how He does it!
