Getting sooo close!

First, thank you all SO much for your prayers! Things are going amazingly well, and even during the slightly stressful times, I've seen and experienced God fulfill His promises consistantly and have learned sooo much in my faith because of it.

I've seen how much God desires to teach me through these responsibilites that He's given me. I'm daily being challenged to step up an be a leader (wayyyy out of my comfort zone), but then I'm seeing what each challenge is teaching me and how God is building my character through each challenge. I was talking to my mom and we were reflecting on how Gods been teaching me this trip, I'm truly amazed and totally shocked at the lessons He's taught me. I came on this trip with my own questions I wanted answered and God clearly had his own plan in mind.

Another girl left today, sad stuff, but again God taught me alot through it. He had me head up her departure details, crazzyyy stuff, but I learned soo much about trusting the Lord through it. We were on our way to the travel agency this morning, and I was the only one in my group that had been in the area so I was in charge of navigation as well. I remember walking to the trufi (bus/taxi) stop and just thinking,"Lord.... I'm gonna get us lost...", and I know this probably seems wierd, but the first song that popped into my head after that prayer/statement was, "baby don't worry, about a thing, cuz every little thing, is gonna be alright". I just had to smile after that. I was thinking, "alright Lord, this is on you, just tell me when to get off the bus". And sure enough, He did. We pulled up to the stop and I remember looking out the window thinking we had a little longer, when He made me take another look so I could see a building that was the landmark I had been looking for. I can't tell you how much peace He's been giving me this week. I feel so blessed.

I'm also in charge of coordinating the activities this week for the volunteers. Had a lot of good practice this weekend and all the people I have to get in contact with are extremly patient with me and are soo helpful. I can see the many lessons to come through this as well as the many opportunities I have this week for surrender and lifting up my plans to God.

Prayer Requests:
-that God would show me favor in these new responsibilities. I know He'll be walking me through each job and I would love to do each Job well.
-new people are coming Monday, please pray that I would be a blessing to them. -Spanish still. Thank you all so much for praying for this as often as you have. I am understanding more and more, and am able to communicate so much better than when I first got here.

Thank you all for you support so consistantly during this trip! It's been such a huge encourgement getting your responses and comments.

Gods love
