Almost outreach time

Well where as the time gone. I am sitting here in the internet cafe, the one I have come to many times, but know there is not a lot of time left. I have one more week of classes left before we go on outreach.
We will be two weeks in a river village. Prayer will really be appreciated for this because it's a tough place to be and really challenging, also we already have two people on our team that have dengue and there are a lot of mosquito's so please please keep our team in your prayers. I am looking forward to it because I know its an experience of a life tome but I know it will be really challenging as well.
After the river, we spend one more week in Iquitos, the spend some time in other cities in Peru such as Arequipa, Cuzco, Lima and Chiclayo and then off to a couple cities in Bolivia. I am soo excited for the outreach, so so so excited.
The lecture phase has been awesome. There have been incredibly challenging parts about it and times that I just wanted to scream. But it has been awesome and I have learned so incredibly much. I have learned how much God loves me and how He views me as His daughter. I feel that I have found so much freedom in my relationship with Him. I have been challenged about the issue of fear in my life and how fear is not from God and how he has not given me a spirit of fear. We had a teacher tell us that it says in the bible 365 times "Do not Fear" so over the next year I am on a mission to find those verses and then I am going to write a book on fear when I am done.
I have also learned to dream again and how the size of my dreams is how big I see God, so I have some pretty awesome dreams and if you guys want to know them I am more then happy to share. I also discovered that I do have a love of writing, just little short stories. I have already written on and plan on writing more on outreach.
It is really hard to describe this time and all the work that God has been doing in my heart, I know its not about feelings this relationship I have with God and I am so thankful that His truths never change. So on days when I may not "feel" anything, that doesn't change how much God loves me, or that I am His daughter, or that He has done awesome work in my heart. So on the days where I don't "feel" anything I claim those truths because those truths never, ever change.
I could go on and on and on. We also had an inner healing week which was so powerful and so has my challenge on overcoming fear ( I even held an anaconda and I used to be deathly afraid of sneaks), I could share forever, so please if you guys have any questions or want me to go more in detail, please feel free to e-mail me, I am so happy to share.
Thanks again for your support, prayers and emails, they mean ever so much to me and please from May 23rd to June 6th, please remember me and my team in your prayers as we are out on the river. I will post more pictures and after outreach I am sure that I will have awesome stories to share.

Keepin it real in Quito

Yo Yo Yo So I have arrived and I made it safe, other then my luggages coming the next day. I was delayed in Edmonton and Toronto so when I got to Colombia they rushed me and a few other passengers to the flight for Quito. I am staying with a family, in my house there is Mami, who is the grandma, Mampi, her daughter and Joanna the niece, she is about 17 years old. There is also another student from London named Bhavin and a Japenese girl just came yesterday...she is super cool. So if I am to be honest the first week was quiet hard. Language school was quiet overwhelming and I hadnt met anyone yet so I was feeling quiet lonely and missing all of you guys. I let the tears slip a couple times but that is just part if the experience. My teacher tells me that the first week is always the hardest and that in a month I will be speaking Spanish....that brings me some comfort. On a happier note I have been hanging around Quito and that has been cool. Climed up to the top of the Basillica

Fruit

*(names have been changes for privacy reasons)* Back into the swing of things again and I am super pumped for this year.   Remember the time that I was sharing how I felt that there was no visible fruit last year and how that was really discouraging to me, well a couple weeks ago God blessed me with being able to see some of His fruit from last year, some fruit after a year of tears and prayers.   As some of you also know that for birthdays I take the teen girls out for ice cream.   This is a good one on one time and just a time for them to get out and do something special.   First up every year is Maria.   Last year when I took her for ice cream, conversation was a little strained, a lot of her answers to my questions were just one word and lets be honest, there were a lot of awkward moments.   As this year rolled around first up again was my beloved Maria and we had an awesome time.   We laughed, we talked and she was really honest with my questions and was really honest a

Boys Camp… Just a little late

Image
When it’s been so long between blogs I always struggle with what to say, or what to share.   Sometimes it feels like so much has happened that I don’t even know where to start and sometime if feels like nothing has happened at all… I guess I will start with the boys camp that we had in November, which was forever ago I know, but I obviously procrastinated and haven’t shared how it went and when I was in Canada over Christmas a lot of you asked me about it. Well it was an adventure.   We only had about 12 boys, which  was a nice small group.   I was really tired and worn out by the time November rolled around, so it was perfect and a more relaxed camp, well for the most part…. I went ahead with three other staff, well that was the plan anyways, but the car we were in kept over heating and we kept having to pull over and wait on the side of the road for it to cool down.   So we got there a few hours after everyone else arrived.   I was so thankful for great staff t
