Happy Thanksgiving

Thank you all so much for your prayers for the team and our healing! We have all made great improvements in healing. I am feeling so much better! No more crutches and I was able to move back to my room last week! I still can’t run but i am hoping soon I can (we will see if I really do though). When the rest of the team got back it was one of the happiest days ever! They really have become family and having the life back on the base is incredible! It was just a big hug fest going all around. Hearing all of their stories of what God had done through them was awesome! Although it was hard not to be there with them I am so happy they got to have that time to serve and grow closer to one another. Please continue to pray for the healing for the girls. Deborah’s arm is healing with less pain each day, Tabea is still having strong headaches and Ema is feeling much better but has to go back using her crutches and has to rest a lot to allow her bones to go together which is very hard for her to do.


Last week in class we learned more about missions in a biblical view and understanding cultural differences. This week is continuation of that along with world religions. This is all building up for next weeks Missions Mobilizing Training (MMT). No one has given us a real idea on what it will be because they “don’t want to ruin it for us”. Its a lot of practical learning about different religions and lots of putting it into practice. I am very excited about it. I have talked to past trainees and they always say MMT week was one of the hardest but best weeks they had.

Last week they told us about the mission opportunities we have after training. There are so many wonderful ministries and I ask you to please pray for me to be led to the right one. I am so excited to see where God takes me! I should know by my next post and I can let you all know! We are all so sad this day is finally coming that we have to say good-bye to our new family. We came in as strangers and we will be leaving the closest friends not knowing when or if we will see each other agin. (we always have heaven though!!)

I am so happy to tell you that we will be having an Inner City outreach! The dates are changed to January 4th-16th. (4 days before graduation). They are still working out details for our World Faith outreach. So please pray for that! It will be at the beginning of December.

My room has been attacked by bugs continuously for the past few nights and I have more mosquito bites than I ever have had in my entire life. We are spraying our bug spray almost chocking ourselves out of the room and keeping up our neighbors but we are having a lot of fun with it and bonding with each moth attack on Elisabeth. December 7th is American cultural meal! We have to make a power point and try to rap up Americans cultural in 15 minutes and make a food thats a traditional meal. We are going to try and attempt to make a Thanksgiving meal! Which means me and Lisa will do it all while the boys watch but it will be a lot of fun and we are very excited.


Thank you once aging for all your prayers! I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
