Where am I?
Here I am sitting on the floor at 11 pm thinking of a bundle of things to say, well to write. I just read pieces of my journal to remember what I’m learning. Even though this life is very exciting and almost every day is different it has become my new normal so sometimes I forget to write stuff down or don’t think it’s exciting enough to share.
I absolutely adore my team, ever since debrief we all have become friends and we have so much fun together. The guys are complete goof balls and us girls are complete dorks we all mesh well together. Brady and I talk about our relationships, his girlfriend is in Cambodia, but we share stories with everyone. Its nice to have someone else who talks about their person and share stories everyone else loves to listen and say ‘awee’.
Our Squad Leaders told us that our teams will stay the same the first month in Malawi then the second month they are doing ‘man-istry’ month. All the boys will be together and all the girls will be together. After that month the remaining time we will possibly be put into new teams … I want to be able to know other people on my squad but then again I really am now just getting to know everyone so well on my team. We leave El Salvador December 6th.
I have been struggling to be present here because some days it doesn’t feel like we are “doing” much. I’m also learning that being a missionary or whatever isn’t about how much or what you do. Some days maybe you have a godly conversation with a stranger or another day you teach bible lessons at a church, if you are remaining in Gods love and serving in the moment you are “doing the mission”. Which is very hard to grasp because i’m an acts of service person and I feel like I have to do instead of just be! I was reading John 15:5-7 and Timothy 2:13-14, I want to remain in Gods love so that I can overflow with joy!
