How exciting is technology? I feel so connected with y'all? (I'm catching my fellow teammate, Ben's New Mexico accent)

This week was awesome, we had a pretty cool teacher from Canada come down.  Dave Overholt from Church on the Rock in Hamilton, Ontario.  He is a youth pastor, so we obviously shared some great stories and great moments because of our similar passions for young people.  Despite one of his obvious downfalls, cheering for the Tigercats, we managed to get along.

I was very excited to hear about the Roughriders successful triumph into the semi-finals against the Stampeders. Since there are several Riders fans out, we have been frantically trying to figure out how to watch the game.  (there's even a guy here from Calgary who cheers for the Riders.. and why not? lol... I would pick the Riders if I could too..)

Time is just flying by. I can't believe we only have 2 weeks left.  We will be leaving for Thailand in exactly 2 weeks now.  We are eagerly looking forward to it, but also sadly anticipating the time when we all separate.
Yesterday, we had an offering for people who were in desperate need for outreach money.  It was really cool to see how God was tapping people on the shoulders an having them provide for others who had trusted in him to provide. I have loved every minute here, and I can't imagine what it's going to be like when we are not ALL together, but I am also very excited to get out there and put all that we have been learning into action.

Check out my newsletter, and if you have any questions, or you would like to be included in the prayer/support letter email list, just let me know and leave your email address too!!

Love you all!

Exciting News....

Part of our requirements for graduation of the DTS program is that we each give a "Chapel Talk."  During our Chapel Talks, each of us give a little teaching to the entire group.

Tonight, I gave my chapel talk.  It was something I'd been looking forward to for at least a month now, which was when God spoke to me about my topic.  However, it was really clear to me that tonight was the perfect timing for it, because in the time between, He revealed so much to me about my Chapel Talk. 

There isn't really a good title for my topic.. but it kind of boiled down to God's Word, and how we MUST be studying and memorizing it.  There really isn't a way around it.  The more I meditated on it, and read through scripture, the more it was confirmed for me.  As Christians, we don't make God's Word a priority in our lives.. 

It was crazy for me, and such a time of encouragement even though it was a hard message to bring.  It is such a challenging word to speak and to hear.  I prayed and prayed that the message would speak to everyone's hearts and that they would hear what God had to say to them, and that it wouldn't be about me.  

I hope that's what came through tonight.  

Anyways, if you'd like to know more about what I am talking about, don't be afraid to ask.  This is something I have been passionately studying and humbly trying to pursue in my life.. so needless to say.. I love to talk about it with people! 

On to the topic of my heading.. I have very exciting news!! This week, we found out that all four of our outreach teams will be stopping in Thailand for a week before we go our separate ways.  I was dreading the time where we will have to say goodbye, and this makes it less dreadful because we will be in Thailand together!!!! Baby steps are good.. It'll still be hard to separate, but at least we will have travelled part way together.. it's always nice to be together.

I will try to continue updating this as often as I can.. 

 I thought I would leave you with a couple of pictures to enjoy...

Love,
