These past weeks have been so amazing! We have really gotten to know God and ourselves in ways many of us couldn't have imagined. It has been hard for some, opening up the past and allowing God to come in and heal them but it’s been so great to watch God transform lives. The classes have been so great and we are learning so much but sometimes with early mornings and late nights it’s kind of hard for me to stay awake so you can for sure put that on your prayer list! (I just need to learn to go to bed earlier) We are almost done with Inside Out and we are all so excited for our off weekend! We have 3 of them where we are able to leave base from Friday afternoon to Sunday night. They will have things around base still but we are free to rent cars and explore! We are all busy making plans and getting so excited for it! But since Inside Out will be over we can leave base every Saturday to go to the mall or something around Pretoria.
Our rural outreach is Oct. 28th. We are anxious to see who will be on our teams. We will be divided into 3 teams. I will give more information on where we will be going as soon as I find out. But we would love prayers for our teams and preparing us for these tough 10 days. We will be sleeping in tents, cooking on a fire, and ministering to people that may or may not speak English. Please pray for good weather! It is rainy season here and we are hoping it will not be raining the whole time. We have heard some horror stories of the mud and the tents, so hopefully that won’t happen.
My roommates are so great and our friendships are growing each day! We have so much fun together laughing and just being stupid. I am loving our great talks at night too. It is hard sometimes with the language barrier for them to find the words and express themselves but we are working through it with many laughs. The friendships I am making now will last a lifetime!
I have been feeling very called to full time missions but I have no idea on that that means or where God will take me but I am so excited for the unknown!
Also, our Inner City outreach is very iffy right now. I guess the organizations OM has gone through in the past aren’t open during Christmas and New Years when we were planning on going so we could really use your prayers on that trying to find a way to make that happen.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support! Love you and miss you all!
