Welcome to Malaysia.
I tried to do something a little different this time and make a video to give you a tour of my home for the month, but now that I am in Africa… I can't load it.
So, I hope you enjoy these pictures that give you just a glimpse into my month
This is what it looks like when B Squad arrives somewhere (Photo by Ash Garcia)
This month was Manistry month where the men were off doing their own ministry, and us girls had our own. So, I joined the lovely ladies of team Wellspring for the entire month.
Here are 5 of the 6 Wellspring girls. They are all amazing women! It was a blessing to be with them. Malaysia is the closest to the US I have seen on this trip… That is a huge mall behind us. We would go there for internet on our days off (Photo by Ash Garcia)
It was Easter time when we arrived… so we painted about 150 eggs to hand out to the church members.
Easter Sunday
One Day Without Shoes (A day by a shoe company called TOMS… you go barefoot for the entire day to raise awareness for children around the world who can't afford shoes. To learn more about it,click here) Ash and I walked to the grocery store barefoot just like I would have if I was home.
Check out this little guy we found in our room 🙂
The church we worked is an Indian church outside of Kuala Lumpur. They are starting a new church inside the city… this is where we spent most of our weekdays… painting and cleaning to get it ready.
We also had the opportunity to work with the kids! This was, by far, by favorite part of the month! The kids brought me so much JOY. Most of them are staying in a children's home (Which is actually just a two bedroom apartment with all of the kids and the staff living there). We got to have their first ever sleep-over with them! It was my favorite day time with them!
We watched Happy Feet!
Played games
Had a lesson about Daniel in the Lion's Den… made masks!
This is the Wellspring Band… We sang a few times this month. I am still overcoming my fears of playing the guitar and singing in front of people, so I played the guitar one of the times.
This is apple juice we bought at a street stand… Best apple juice I have ever had!!!!
I wore a sari to church one Sunday
These are some of the guys we met. Sam is on the left… He led worship at church and worked with us at the new church quite often. Then there is Stephen and Matthews… they lived in the upstairs of the church, where we also lived… So, I was able to spend a lot of time talking with them and learning about the Indian culture.
More dress up… Loved wearing these (Photo by Ash Garcia)
The beautiful girls of Wellspring! (Photo by Ash Garcia)
This is the church… Tabernacle of Glory. This is where we lived. The door to enter is the one with the white bars just to the right of the car wash… the church was on the second floor of the building and then the offices and room we lived in were on the thrid.
This is our room… 7 girls squeezed in. And we actually had AC in there!!! What a blessing!

We went the beach for our last couple days here… It was beautiful!
Fried Tarantula! I was only brave enough to try a leg… not too bad… tasted like beef jerky.
Packed up and headed to AFRICA!!!!
We arrived in Africa early Monday morning! I am so so so so so happy to be back in Kenya!!!! My heart is so full of joy right now and excited for this month and the month to come finishing out in Africa.
Thank you everyone for your prayers, support, and encouragement… I am here only because of YOU making this possible! Know that I do appreciate each one of you and daily think about the privilege it is to be serving in all of these amazing countires! What a blessing this is, and what a blessing you all.
Thank You!
