Wow Christmas has come and gone and now it's time to go.
I spent Christmas with my family in Mexico. It was wonderful, it was a good time to relax and be refreshed before i'm off and running again.
I'm leaving for my first part of outreach today, we're driving to Miami later this afternoon where we will spend our first month. I'm pretty excited to see what God is going to do with us and through us over the next two months!
I am not taking my laptop with me so I will try my best to find internet where I can and up date you all on whats happening.
Thank you so much for supporting me this far both in prayer and in finances, it has meant so much to me! Please keep me and my team in your prayers over the next two months.
Well I gotta get going and finish my packing!
Peace.

Time is running out
Oh goodness, it's been a very busy two weeks!
Last weekend was thanksgiving weekend. My first American thanksgiving! It was really great. Let me give you a brief summary.
Thursday
- I had the biggest thanksgiving dinner of my life! There was food lined all the way down the hallway and around the corner - hah and i know only two of you from home will actually know how long that it since the rest of you haven't been here. But trust me it's a lot of food!
- Dutch blitz. Need I say more. There are a couple of us that really might be hopeless addicts. I kicked butt in both games by the way, just had to throw that out there.
- Football. People born in the north vs people born in the south...and the foreigners divided among both teams. Yeah North!
Friday
- Black Friday! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's the biggest shopping day of the year in America.
- We left at midnight and headed out among the crazies to go find some sales!
- We shopped until 6am. Really....who does that? Is that healthy...probably not.
- Slept until 1pm and then had the laziest day ever, it was beautiful.
Saturday
- Hello Miami!
- Stacie, Kelley, Nathaniel and I left at 6 am and headed down to Miami for the day.
- We went to South Beach!
- It's still shocking to me that at the beginning of December people can be walking around in swimsuits!
- It was a nice little get-away
This past week of teaching was really good. A man named Glenn Sheppard spoke on revival and it's importance. He really spoke into our lives this week and worked through a lot.
This next week is on effective personal ministry and one of my favorite teachers is flying in for it so I'm pretty excited!
I cannot even believe this will be my last week of class! Then we have one week of outreach prep before Christmas! It's going to be a busy two weeks.
Something to keep in your prayers:
The Discipleship Training School right now is planning their outreach, their two locations are Thailand and India. There is a lot of unrest in both countries and the teams are really praying about what to do and how this will affect them. Please pray for incredible discernment and wisdom!
Thanx.
Peace
