well, I have been avoiding town it is such an effort to get here being a girl i need to find others to go along. and getting people to go along can be a challenge. they keep us busy. today was one of the few less packed days. But Yesterday i was able to hike through a few villages -and loved it. they are uncorrupted by the white people (cunnas) It was great to hang out with the people. Verses the village kids around the center that are very rough. So it was neat to see the way most of the people live. The Lord is still challenging me. Are you going to love me children my sheep are you going to show them truth. What they say here a lot is LOVE LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING. So that means hugging and hanging on a kid that has scabies. or is picking their nose and doesn't think twice about wiping it on you. Yeah this is missions. Missions is not always shoving the gospel in their face. you have to love them.
So i go on my first outreach this Thursday. where we preach and show the Jesus film and pray for a mass of people. so I hope it goes well. they mostly speak Macuwa - (a tribal language). I am not so good with it.
Thanks for your prayers. I am well and learning. yet still wanting to learn more and encounter God more. I pray he sucker punches me. I really want to get smacked upside the head. I guess I am feeling kinda dry at the moment. but that is life right ups and downs. well feel free to write and ask questions. other than that I am learning, watching, turning down marriage proposals by Mozabquicans) and over all good. Still asking God where he would have me serve. well I don't have anything profound to say. miss many of you. Hope all is well in you lives. and that God grants you an unquenchable thirst for HIM. talk to you soon. -B

on feeling dry...remember last summer in costa rica and we spent so much time praying for safety and also on the spiritual warfare and feeling dry...we simply read prayers together as a team from scripture...there was one you love- i wish i could remember it to remind you of what it said. however, my fav was philippians 1:9-11 which basically is a prayer to love people, which i can tell you're doing.
check out zephaniah 3:17 its pretty awesome.
