- Who is my is/was hardest goodbye and why?
- My hardest goodbye is going to be saying goodbye to our squad mates in South Africa. Also it was hard saying good bye to next door neighbor carlos because we were his only really good friends who actually cared for him. He was just so awesome for everything he did for the squad. Its going to be hard goodbye to the squad mates because we have build such an amazing relationship with everyone but i am excited to see growth in everyones lives
- Have i given that relationship to the lord?
- Yes i have given both relationships to the lord because we placed a seed into carlos and now he has a chance to allow that seed to grow. Also my squad mates are going to grow in amazing ways
- What is something that the lord that taught me or grown me in costa?
- The lord has taught me patience, the meaning behind mission, surrender, and being still. From being patient in answers to come from the lord and patience within the team on word choice. Meaning behind mission is to be bold in my faith and be not afraid to share the gospel with people that i have never met before. Surrendering my comforts of what i am use to, to be able to grow in ways with the lord. For example, my comfort of just throwing everything I receive into a file cabinet and forget about it but instead of working through things and actually process everything with the lord. Then being still and learning to rest and not having to jump from country to country and find rest with the lord and build a relationship.
- How am i carring that fruit to South Africa?
- I am going to continue to learn how to rest before the lord and be patient in the answers. I want to continue to learn how to surrender everything that i have to the lord.
- What expectations did i have coming into cost?
- I was hoping that i would be working with a ministry that was in the middle of the mountains where you have to take plane, train, automobiles, and hiking to minister to a town that they dont see people. I was hoping that we would be roughing it and it would pull people out of all of their comforts of home. I was expecting it to be harder living conditions.
- How did they change?
- We are working with a multi million dollar ministry in where we washed rocks and shoveled dirt. We lived in a costa rican mansion and had every luxuries thing you could ever ask for. But through this, i learned about community living, i dove deeper in self disapline and taught me how to live a minisionary life of living in such a beautiful place and still share the gospel with these people.
- What expectations am i leaving before i leave costa?
- I am leaving my expectations of what i was wanting and allowing god to take me to where ever and minister to everyone who i come in contact with.
- What is the lord asking me into before South Africa?
- Before South Africa, i want to take the relationships that i going to miss to the lord and go through the grieving process with the lord. I am going to try to not place expectations on South Africa. Also god is asking me into before South Africa is to be praying about staying in the present and not putting all my focus on what i am going to be doing after i get home.
