A Look Back

Well, last week was my last week with my adorable triplet cousins. I can not even begin to say what a blessing it has been to be a part of their lives! When I think about some of the things we went through this past year- it seems like only a dream! God taught me so much and I am thankful for the time I have had with them! I also really enjoyed the time with my Aunt and Uncle and being able to get to know them better.

Also, last month was my last month teaching at my home church. I have really enjoyed getting to know each kid and being able to dig into God's Word with them! They are such a great group of kids and it is so neat to see their desire to know the Lord! They surprised me with a goodbye party and a really neat shirt they each signed.

The Campus!

Here is a little video showing the New Tribes Mission Missionary Training Center where I will be living for the next year and a half. It is located in Roach,MO right on the Lake of the Ozarks. It is a very beautiful campus! While there I will be taking classes on the very practical things involved in being a tribal church planter- things like learning about world views, how to learn an unwritten language, How to teach the Bible from beginning to end, What is involved in planting a church that is based on New Testament principles, Classes that will help us grow in our own spiritual walks and so much more! If you have any questions or would like more details about the classes I will be taking, don't hesitate to ask!

Getting Ready To Leave

~A little Update and Some Prayer Request~
These last few weeks have been pretty busy as I get ready to head to Missouri to finish training with New Tribes Mission. I have to say my room has never been as messy has it has been these last few days as I have slowly been packing! This year at home has been such an incredible blessing but I am also very excited and ready to be back in school! I would greatly appreciate it if you could be keeping me in your prayers during these next couple of weeks.Some current prayer request:
~For my Dad and I as we start driving to Missouri on August 10th. We will be driving about 13 hours the first day, which will get us to New Mexico. We will then be staying with my Dad's cousin until Tuesday night. We will then drive about 13 more hours to Missouri arriving sometime on Wednesday the 13th. As you can see we have a very long drive ahead of us! =) Prayer for safety and for the long drive would be greatly appreciated!
~ For me as I get settled in and as I begin classes.That I would remain open and teachable before the Lord and to the things He desires to show me.
~ That I would be able to find a church and get involved in it as much as I am able too.
~That I would continue to grow in the likeness of our Savior and keep seeking Him with all of my heart.
Thank you so much for your prayers! I will continue to keep you updated and would love to hear of ways I can also be praying for you! Have a great day!

This is such an encouraging and even challenging video! It is a great reminder for me to remember that our God is so amazing and we really have no idea what He is doing in another's heart. It encourages me to keep being faithful in being His light in this world and to view people through His eyes. We truly serve an incredible God who alone is worthy of all praise!
