Well I have yet to pick up my camera. I am really trying to not get caught up in that yet. just trying to enjoy teh people. So how is school. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH nuts. NUTS NUTS. but good. I have felt very much int eh desert. adn missing my Lord. our communication. but I know He is doing a mighty work. and I think he is being gentle with me cause he knows I need it. But slowly I am asking Lord break off the lies of religion and the boxes I put you in. I am tryign to look with fresh eyes at my Lord. And asking HIm to resotre me teh Joy of His salvation. Is eyes are on me for the good. They have spoekn so much good in to me - into us all as a class) it is so needed. a reminder that the Lrod is good. That can be forgotten. I don't knwo if that makes sence but I am sice of doctrines of man and yurning to knwo teh lOrd adn what He says aabout himself. We spend so much time in worship here. adn pray is it crazy at first I didn't have teh endurence for it. But it is geting better. and I am with all diffrent type of worshipers so you can imagine teh distractions but I know that the Lord is good and I am learning to forcus my mind. Learing abotu the prophetic. and have had peaople to me of things teh Lord has shoewn them about me or things he is saysing it is such a blessing and is used for edifying and in. I take any contact form teh lord or communicaitonas agift. a true gift. adn I have felt eth weightyness of his glory and the joy of teh lord. I hav wept over attrocites of my ancestors teh white europeans adn things that were done in the name of Chirst that were not right. Stood in teh gap and asked for the lords forgiveness. And felt it . these are some of teh joys I hav eexpericened with the Lord here. I hoep I am making sence. I am still struggleing with wanting to expericnce more of Him. MORE LORD MORE. feel liek a child adn starting form ground zero. bu tthat is okay. you have to start somewhere. the people I am around are great they are passionate about the Lord. that is a snipet of what I have expericened here.
People ask is there any mericals yet. and yeah there have been. but I have not whitnessed them- for instance a blind lady was healed in church last sundy but ia was in childrens church. but Honestly to feel the weightynes ( physcal ) of his glory is just as much of a merical to me. so I am elated about that. happy for the lady also. there was another who couldn't walk adn was healed in a village on an outreach. my teach has yet to go out on our out reach. But soon I am sure we will go. what eles.. write with wuestions if you have them. you can leave comments on this blog also.
prayer requests- our house has been warring in spritiual warfare (attackes) at night. this is not my imagination. We have all had diffrent expericnces. and OUr lord is the Lord of teh universe. so this si no problem but I ask for your prayers in helping combat this. these spirits have to right to be there. We are dughter of the king. This is illeage. and We aren't going to stand for it. SO if you please remember us in your prayers we are 6 hours a head and the whitch docs. come out around 1 am here so you do the math as to when to pray. please. thanks.

over all I am safe Rememebr the Lord has me in His hands. and He hears our prayers. The Lord did not give us a sprit of fear or timidity not a spirit of worry so do not settle or acept those. they are foreing. Teh Lord says he wil keep us safe under HIs wing. YOu rememebr that.
Kay- well my time is runing out . but pray for my hear to grow for the people. it is already but i want teh lords heart for teh people. I don't wnat to be distacted by dirt of scabbies or snot on there faces of kids. I want to hug on and love on them. Teh lord is faithful. I am excited to see what eles He has in mind for me here. He is so much greater than we give credit. chuck out your rules and seek the LORD. Imanacy is key. spent time with Him. that donsen't mean you have to memorize teh bible.

okay agian venturing out

so I have been trying to figure out how to describe this place. I am stil at a loss of words. I have been here three weeks adn am now just starting to like it. I have been fine i gues God as prepared me enough adn put me through othere things to prepare me. I know that if I am safe and have my basic needs met like food shelter clothes, sleep than you can do it. So we have been good but. the rest has been a lot to take in. For one I stick out. And yeah STICK OUT in latin america bu tthis is difrent the culture is so diffrent. So dirffent. and I am not very trusting so that can be draining. BUt as I said things are getting much beter. you see on teh base the village kids come and hang on you and are constanly asking you for things. it is hard. and you want to be soft adn stop for teh one like Jesus leads but if I did everything they asked I would have not lasteda week. So you get the sence that that is teh culture people only looking at you as how to get some thing form you. But that is not the truth of teh culture. I went out int eh village yesterday with 2 pastars and a family from New Zealand. Teh people were so nice and not looking at us as what we can get from them. it was nice to be seen as a person. A diffrent person you definalty attract ever eye int eh place but still there was a diffrence. I made my heart glad and remeamed teh culture for me. I am sure Go d will provide more opportunites. I say opportunites because I can't really venture out alone so I am kinda at the mercy of others to join me. so we shall see what happens.

Hello, salama, Hola


K- so I typed up this thing last week and it never let me load it. So for all you people frustrated at my lack of communication sorry. Life is quite different in a foreign lands. And everything is slow. SO just know that time flies by adn you only got 1 or 2 things done. So here we go. Again. I pray that it goes through this time. and Sorry for misspellings. but really worry about. So
How am I -good. How are things. Good. So I live in a house with a few other people. 3 other in a room with me. One a brit. another a South African and then a new yorker. we are all different but alike in many ways. we are all different ages, ect et. they have become family which is such a blessing. God has also granted me another good friend I met on the plane ride here. it is such a blessing and we are both thankful to have each other. As far as the plane ride it was good but LONG. I was so out of it when we got here going a 2 and a half days a of NO sleep. But I didn't have to pay for extra baggage in South Africa. (huge answer to my prayers) were are talking 700 us . I was not wanting to pay that but the lord took care of it. it was so great. that is travels.

well well well I'm here


Hey yall. So I am here in Moz. sorry I havn't writen soonner. Teh lfights were good, I was sleeples for 2 adn a half days. so I was a zomby when we arrived. But things went smoothly.
LIfe here has been keeping me busy between learning portugese, meeting playing with kids, and lots of time in school. It has been good. I am in a house sharing a room with 3 other girls. and then 2 other rooms totalling 4 more people. One is a Brit. another a Newyorker,and then a young south african girl who is full of energy. So needless o say it is interesting. But we seem to be getting along and getting to know one anther. I love to see there relationships withteh lord. We ll have ties to art which i think is cool how God orcestrate that. Again sorry about teh spelling.
I have yet to take a photo. Still trying to take it all in. It has been so much. especailly since This school is very diffrent than what I am used to. I am being taught by peopel who are praying and watching the sick healed, teh blind see, teh lame walk, ect. I am watching God given Visions to people. IT is so amazing to see God so eager to speak to His children. People here are from all parts of teh world, and ages adn walks of life. BUt they all are experienceing the same God. I know I have tons to learn from them. We have had geust speakers and some groups have already gone on outreachs into villages. Watching poeople be saved in the masses. I have yet to go. and I am a bit skidish about it ( the scabies adn all). so there is prayer request for ya. another is that GOd would give me thirst so I don't get dehydrated again. it wasx brief and i am fine. no worries. what eles. There are kids every where. village kids adn then kids that Iris takes care of. The food is beans adn rice or matapa ( green stuff maybe spinish) and misterground meat. Throw in a few hard really crunchy things. We have our gueses as to what those are. My roomate says baked in flies and I thought maybe pebbles mixed in with the rice. all I know is you ca't think about it just put it in your mouth. the flavor is notto bad though. So we are getttign creative on fixing some meals on our own. Oh yeah there is a fish night which I have conveintly missed. then I thougth I will be brave they eat it why can't I. So I walk up there, and see a bed a rive with a whole tail sticking straight up aout of th epalte scales adn all. I counldn't bring my self to stay. s Beans is my fav so far. Well I get to teach childrens church this sUnday. That will be fun and chaotic I am sure. I have helped feel teh village kids one day. I am really trying to absorb there reality. it is so diffrent. their reality is no shoes, on holly shirt, and no food unless form Iris. I have watched 4year olds being cargivers to there 6 mouth old siblings. it's crazy. But Iris is here preachign and teaching and loving on this community. I met a guy on teh beach that told me he used to be musilm but he changed cause of Mama Ida ( Hiedi Baker). Justa random yt important sould, one ofmany in this community. well That is all I can muster in way of thoughts. Agian I am still rying to wr my brainaround things here, teh first week was hard in just adjusting to hwo they worship here, and I felt so dry. and was so frustaiting. Kinda wanting to come home jsut so I could hear from teh Lord. I felt like my ears were clogged. but The lord is slowy reminding me of HIs great love. As we all know I am stubborn so soem times it takes convinvcing. but the Lord is so generous with His love. I pray he opens my eyes to more of him and that he tears away me teh yuck and teh dirt. That he molds me into who he made me to be. well I pray teh LOrd is doing amazing things amoung you this summer. I will try and be in contact agian soon. KNow that the Lord is good no matter what, i feel like I had forgotten that. NO MATTER WHAT. HE IS GOOD. AND GOOD TO US. My basic eeds are met food shelter, so the rest is a learning experice. Love ya talk to yousoon. B
