El Salvador Update!! :)

Hola from Apastepeque, El Salvador!  

 
     I cannot believe that I am already in my 2nd month/country of the WORLD RACE!!!                

 This month on the race our ministry is to learn/perform Dramas and Dances in the nearby
  communities, schools, and churches, as well as praying over the communities and inviting
them to the church that our  contact started. I am SUPER STOKED about the ministry because I
love to be dramatic and the dances have been pretty fun too! We are still currently in practice
mode, and its been so much fun to see the DRAMATIC side of my team! 

Our contact this month is Victor Reyes, an awesome 25 year old man of God who loves his country
and the people of it. His passion and desire is to see the people of El Salvador come
to Jesus Christ, and he is willing to make a sacrifice of his time and self to see that dream
come true. Along with Victor is his "right hand lady" Sara Ramiro. She is a sweet, 24 year old
woman of God, whose dream is also to see the people come to Christ, and to one day (Lord
willing) start a school of her own for the kids who live in the poorer communities. Please pray
for Victor and Sara that God will not only bless them and their servant hearts, but that He will
also bless their ministry and do greater things than they could ever imagine with it!

This month we are also working with team CHERISHED from our D-Squad (Whoop,Whoop),
which is a team of seven sweet, beautiful women of God. I seriously love all of these girls
(Kate, Jill, Julie, Jen, Katie, Katie, and Misty) and am soo excited to work with them!

God has literally been teaching me so much since I left on the race! Not only has my daily
quiet/worship time with Him been amazing, but He has blessed me with such a worship
oriented team!

Lately God has been showing me some things about myself that I need to change, things that
have been hampering my walk with Him. He's showed me how I have been letting all my
insecurities and fears consume me, and how instead of asking Him to remove them, I have
been storing them in my mind and going through them over and over again. He's showing me
that His love is greater than all things, not some, but ALL things. He's showed me that if I put
my faith in this world, and if I seek my love and acceptance from it, then I will never be
satisfied. But if I instead seek HIS Love and HIS Acceptance, and put my Faith in HIM, then I
will never be let down.

I cannot comprehend how different I will feel and see things in nine more months' time,
because I feel like my life has already been changed drastically in just these two. 

I am currently still $8,848 (ish) short of being fully funded, and my next deadline of $11,000 is
coming up soon! 

I am only $4,186  short of my $11,000  deadline due by April 1st, 2012. Please support me so
that I can stay out on the field and continue not only to share the love of Christ with others,
but to grow closer and stronger and more in love with my God everyday!!

 I Love and Miss you all so much, and I pray God's Peace and Blessings on you all!
