Rest.

These past two weeks have been busy and I hope to post weekly from now on. Also, if I have not written or called you back; I will as soon as I can. These are just snip its from my journal: Week 3 Day 3 January 13, 2014 Today was great! Rebekah came back earlier than I thought so I will not be alone at the beach house. I taught ESL this morning with Yeshi. Pray that she comes to know Jesus as her Savior. I was able to spend time with some SAC volunteers and we shared prayer requests with one another. One bought me lunch! Thank God for provision. Then I read Acts and Romans and love how radical the apostles were. That's how we should be now too. Then I taught ESL at night. Pray that they would see Christ in me and that they would accept Him. Week 3 Day 4 January 14, 2014 Today I helped tutor children afterschool. Pray that them and their families would accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that the children would learn the importance of obedience. Later, I went to Brooklyn ...

Unconditional Love

The restoration theme has still been very evident in these weeks that I have been here. God has removed a lot and also taught me a lot during this time. I have been blown away by God's unconditional, everlasting love. He has opened so many doors and opportunities for me to serve Him that I would need to be 17 people in order to do every thing that is available for me to do here. So I need you guys to pray for wisdom, that He would guide me to do exactly what He wills. I'm tired of making my own plans. I just want to follow His plan. This week has been a blast. Here are excerpts from my journal: Week 2 Day 3 January 6, 2014 Today we headed to the South Asian Center for the first day of English class for the new semester. Only a few students showed up so we were able to teach one on one. I taught a lady from Peru and she was very sweet. When she did not understand a word, God provided me a way to use my Spanish minor to explain the word. After class we had a staff meeting a...

Restoration

Week 1 Day 1 December 28, 2013 I woke up this morning and finished some last minute packing and spent time with God. Then I had coffee and biscuits for breakfast with Granny. I got a little teary eyed at the thought of leaving her alone again. Then my older sister Jessica came in the kitchen and hugged me and the tears really fell then. Then my brother-in-law Tyler packed my stuff in Granny's car and they took me to the airport. Granny dropped Jess and I off so I could check-in and Granny could park. One of my bags was too heavy so I had to take a lot of stuff out. Ronnie said he would mail it to me! So I hugged Granny, Jessica, Mackenzie, Stephanie, Blake, Ronnie, and mom goodbye and got on the plane. My first flight was good. I read most of the time and tried to sleep but couldn't. Then I made it to Charlotte, NC to catch my next flight which was on the other side of the airport. The medicine and sinus infection that I was diagnosed with on Friday was making me very weak b...
