Another Great Week

We had a really great time this week with our teacher. His name is David Teran and he is originally from around here, but right now he is a youth pastor/ worship leader in Wisconsin. He is good friends with one of our leaders, Edgar, so they joked around a lot. It was fun to feel more comfortable with him and more on equal level. He was also very passionate and excited about what he has learned about worship. The one thing that stuck out the most in his teaching, or maybe more was that we should be extravagant in our worship. The woman who washed Jesus' feet with her hair in Luke 7:36-50 did this and Jesus praised her for it. We should go the extra step for Jesus in our worship too. Another thing was that we can worship in all things it is not just singing and in singing and worship it doesn't matter what others think about you. The only people who matter in your worship is God and you. All in all it was a great teaching and I learned a lot. In other news this week, my Spanish class grew. Heather and Katelyn were moved up to our group from the beginning group. It will be a little bit hard for them, but it is better to be challenged than not learn new things. We have just been hanging out this week. There is still construction going on at the base. It has been quite a few weeks longer than planned, so we are still at the other place, the Quinta. It has been working out fine with the only real complaint being no internet there. I appreciate all your prayers and am doing quite well.

Glad to hear about your week. Sometimes we Dutch people have a hard time being extravagant. I'm working on it, though. I don't feel guilty about having an hour for devotions every day.

Thanks for the update.

It sounds like everything is going great (sans the not-moved-in-yet).

It's great to hear that you're learning a lot about God and yourself. Remember our talk in Honduras... "catching a glimpse"? It sounds like that is happening more and more.

Praying for ya! Mad Love Yo!

Hello Chloe,

I'm excited your faith in yourself and in God is able to grow through this experience. It's something you'll never forget.

Take care of yourself and know I'll be praying for you.

I hit the send button before I was finished, sorry....

anyway P.S. I already have a blogger display name (Mom) for my daughter and I didn't want to set up another one. But now that I look at it, it came up "Mom said" anyway. I must either be getting tired or old. Possibly both, lol!!!

Love,
