This past month we got to go hiking one weekend :) and it was glorious!
These are my friends I went hiking with.
This past Saturday we had a party at church for the youth to celebrate independence day - it was fun :) This is one of my friends from church who tried to teach me how to dance - see below!
Some traditional Mexican food at the party...sometimes delicious ;) sometimes not haha
This is a very traditional Mexican dish, it is called Pozole. It is also sometimes delicious...and sometimes has weird parts of animals in it (like ear).
For some reason it has felt like 2 months since the last time I updated instead of just one. I don't know if it is because a lot of stuff has happened since or if it is because God has really been working in my heart or if it is both.
A lot of things have changed here regarding our ministry. We are no longer working in the orphanage and haven't been for about 2 months (I forgot to update about that...sorry - it happened when I went to Alaska and my mind was such a whirlwind of things to share that I forgot). We also ended our group that was meeting in AA. This group was wonderful but it became a Bible study only full of believers and we want to reach the nonbelievers. Also I have finally started working in a University here with the help of a friend, R. We are planning on passing out flyers for a Facebook group we created - we will not put anything explicitly Christian on the flyer as most of the students will throw them away if we do. We plan on using the group as a way of finding students who are interested and then we will start studies on the campus and use music as an attractant. I am pretty excited about all of this - it seems forever in the making but I am hoping God will really bless our efforts. Also I may have an opportunity to lead a girls university Bible study once a week so please also pray about that.
We are continuing our work in M. And it has been pretty exciting this last month. More and more are joining our Monday night study and tonight we are going to have a party to celebrate the independence of Mexico (the bicentennial) which will actually be on the 15th, Wednesday. Please pray for our group tonight - that more people will come since it is a party ;)
Also, I just wanna share a blessing I had this past week. On Saturdays we have our Youth time in M and we have 4 brothers who come pretty regularly. This week the youth pastor at my church was supposed to lead the study but he cancelled the morning of and so I lead it. We read the story of Nicodemus and discussed what it means to be born again and we read John 3:16. It was really cool to see the boys answer the questions about Jesus correctly although they have not made decisions to follow Him. I shared with them from my heart about Jesus and what it is like to have a relationship with him and it was such a blessing to me to share it with them. I can't really describe it - but I had passion :) and that is something I have felt lacking for a while.
Thank you for continuing to pray for me. Sometimes my mom runs into some of you guys and later tells me that you have been praying for me everyday. What a blessing you all are to me. I am so thankful to have committed prayers. God hears you! It is obvious. God has not only been shifting our ministry but also my attitude towards it which is incredibly exciting. So thank you very much!
