Culiacan Second Week Summary

-
This past week was an awesome time in the Lord. I was placed in a new team because most of the other people left and I really enjoyed this new team! We had a wonderful time singing, sharing the love of Christ and just being with the people.


Here is a picture of my new team but the driver is missing. His name is Mike Hendricks but I have another picture of him down below. Our team leader is Damaris, the one in the purple shirt and dark skirt. She's so fun to work with! But she had to leave this morning, so I think we'll be getting another team leader.





In this picture, Mike is in the middle of two young men who are praying and fasting for a revival at the camps where they live. Their camp is called "cinco"but that night they went to the one we were in, "caimanes" those camps are close to the beach, so we went on wednestay and stayed at the beach three nights and headed back on saturday afternoon. This takes a long time to load pictures so I'm not going to put in too many!


We prayed over the piece of land where we stayed at the beach so that it can be bought to extend the project grounds! I think that will be very exciting to see happen!


Jim also had a great time! He has really enjoyed being here working for the Lord this way! But please pray that God will take all weariness from him and that he gets good rest and wakes up renewed. And for me too, I haven't been feeling that well. I will be staying another week. We will leave Friday morning very early so we can make it to Qro with just the last bit of daylight. Sister Sarah is coming with us. She is a precious lady and an awesome tool of the Lord. God placed in her the desire to serve Him in Culiacan so she comes every year. She has a heart for the kids, so every time she comes, she has a costume that she wears to play with the kids and get their attention. Her constume is a chicken, and boy does she have the energy to play with those kidos. I will try to get a picture of her and post it here sometime!

Well, God bless you all, rejoice in the Lord and keep praying for the lost souls.

Without Grumbling

     It is a troubling realization when we finally see that our deepest desires aren't always pure and our intentions aren't always the best. It is often too easy to sink in to the ways of the world. Why? Because we live in it and its currents tend to tug at our faith. It is so difficult for me to admit how imperfect I am. I like to think I can do anything, though in reality, I know I am utterly powerless. It's only human nature, I suppose, but it serves me nothing to pretend like I know everything.      All this to say that this spring semester has left me utterly tired and worn out. I have studied and worked my energy out and toward the last couple of weeks before finals, my personal devotions that I've always been so fond of, diminished quickly. I became tired and at times, hopelessly unwilling to spend time in the Word and in prayer. Part of me felt angry toward myself about it, but the other part remained foolishly apathetic. I didn't know what to do, so I di

MISSIONS

-
Today is my lil brother's birthday... but we celebrated his party on saturday! I will post some pictures later because this computer won't allow me to. And my cousin, a little girl, was born today at 1:00 am. Tomorrow my aunt Mary and I are leaving for Yospi, a place up in the mountains, deep in the heart of Queretaro where the Ottomi Indians live... They are very poor people but very hospitable. My aunt lived amongst them for 2 and a half years. She was there as a missionary. She had to live like them and dress like them in order for the people to accept her. Since then they have come to know God better and there are now several Christians there and a church is up and running. God has blessed them so much and we still keep in touch with them. This week we want to go to encourage them to keep pressing on in the things of the Lord. And encourage them not to give up... because it is very difficult for them. Most of the people do not have a means of transportation although there i

Culiacan, first week

This past week in Culiacan has been a great blessing. The first two days we spent a whole lot traveling to be able to get to a camp and that was exhausting! Then on Wednesday I was able to speak to several girls and pray for the people. It was a nice time in the Lord. God blessed the people and the team also. On thursday I stayed behind to pray and God really just used me and all the other 4 who stayed. He spoke to us through verses and visions. The great thing is that While I was reading in Exodus I think, about how God promises to send his angle before us, when the teams got back they told us they had seen a cloud in shape of an angel and they took a picture but whoever took it did not want to let me download it... but if I can get her to let me, I will next week. Then on Friday, two teams got together, mine and another and we had already gotten into the camp, but after a while, the owner arrived and kicked us out. So we left as quickly as we could so we could get started on another
