Hey everyone!! I just want to start off with thank you for your prayers and please continue them now more then ever. These past couple weeks have been insanely rediculous! Monday: We have PT (physical training) at 6:00am then We study and get alot of hours in at our ministry site which is CBC (Central Baptist Chruch) in downtowm Kansas City. We have to get in 20 hours a week.Its a church full of diffrent cultures. So Mondays we go to the neighborhoods and pray and evangelize. Tueday:we get up have to be on campus @8:10 so we have to leave by 7:00am. we then have Arabic class right after Arabic we have Chapel, right after that we have lunch, then another PT. after that we change into our civilian clothes and go to ministry site and evangelize, then we have ESL (English as a second language) They offer it at CBC since most people that go there dont even speak english so I help teach ESL classes. then we get done at about 8:30 then have a 45 minute drive back to campus. We dont eat dinner till about 9:20. then study and get to bed! Wednesday: PT in the morning then Chapel then we have Church planting class then lunch then PT then minstry site, then church, then home. Thursday: Arabic class right after is World view class, Lunch right after is Ministry site, grocery shopping, bible study, then study for classes. Friday: PT in the morning which is running for miles on Fridays then we have survival training till about 5:00. So basically these are just a few days. Notice that I say right after and when I say that I truly mean right after. We have no down time or anything. By the end of each day I always feel like im getting sick. Its so hard right now because we go and go and go and we dont have a say in anything we do. Sometimes we dont even get to eat because we have no time. In some cases this harder then ground school. So please continue to pray for me and that the Lord will give me the strength and endurance I need to do the best I can here. Theres not anything that will make me quit so that will never be an option but...it is hard. On a brighter note now I do love Arabic! I even got to use some at are ministry site wich has a place called little Sudan which is a community of people from Sudan! Its so incredible how the Lord has worked things out for us here. We get to minister to these people and it feels like were in Sudan when were at this community. I love the people and I love TRYING to talk to them! :) I also am very excited about my other classes! Survival training is awesome. Last Friday we had to go into the woods chop down a tree and make a walking stick, 4 pencil sized sticks and 2 stick the size of your arm. So after falling in thorns and running in poison Ivy which then resulted into spending hours pulling thorns out of my hands and being put on steroids because my Poison Ivy got so bad! So after all that! we had strip the bark off are walking sticks using are Knife we received in First Aid. We took the 4 pencil sticks and made a trap to catch rabbits and small animals then took the 2 arm lengthed sticks and a made spears on both ends them tied them to together with string you can make out of stripping bark and had a 4 sided spear! it was awesome! he would set cones out and we had to throw the spear to see if we could hit it incase that cone was a animal and that was all we had to eat. So I had an awesome time out there! It was very productive and felt like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away" afterwards! I was pretty proud of myself...as would you have been if you saw the awesome things I made! Well anyways I need to go practise Arabic and study my bible verses for tomorrow! I love you guys though and miss everyone! Thank you for your prayers and please dont forget me!! Let me know is theres any prayer requests that anyone has that I can pray for! Thanks again for your most needed prayers!
God Bless!!
Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying
"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" and I said "Here am I. Send me!"
