Week 7

Week 7

This week was a lot easier week than last week. We had class and did our service ministry jobs. At the furniture factory we built five bunkbeds – they are almost done! And class this week we were taught on prayer and fasting.

Unfortunately I do not have much to say this week. But next week we will be out doing construction all week. We are going to be continuing to build the children’s feeding center. Please keep us all in your prayers there will be at least 19 of us out there all week and this week we had a team from Ohio down building on it and one of the guys got sick because of the heat.

I would just like to thank you all for your continuous prayer and support for me while I am down here. God has definitely been growing me and teaching me many, many things. One of the ladies that is down here for only a few months has told me that she has already seen God changing me and growing me into a more effective leader/person and she has only been here for a month or less with me. It is just amazing how God is working in all of us. He is slowly by slowly making things clearer for me. Maybe not as clear as what I would like but it is slowly getting there. I am learning that I have to be patient and God will show me when He knows I am ready. Believe me it is not an easy thing waiting but I made a decision this week that while I am waiting to find out what God has in store for me I am going to serve Him with out any hesitations. I will go where ever He wants me to go and do whatever He wants me to do and when He knows it’s the right time He will show me, show me my ministry, my mission field.

This past week the kitchen crew went into the kitchen and opened one of the cupboards and found about 11 cockroaches in a hudle just chillin there. it was gross and then we sang the la cocarocha song like all week and almost everytime we went into the kitchen we found one. at least they are not getting in the food tho!!

So that is really all for this week! I am sure next week is going to be amazing and exhausting but I can not wait to share with you all about it!
