Halfway point

Thank you all for your prayers! This week has been really hard.

The girls I had gotten really close to left Tuesday, and we got 3 more volunteers that same day. The Lords definately been good, I've some great conversations about Him with some of the guys that are here. Everyone has been really encouraging. We have started going to the hospital to pray for the patients pretty consistanly now, which has been pretty awesome for me to experiance. We talked to a lady named Hilda for the past cpl of days and prayed for her surgery which happened yesterday. She had complete faith and was constantly talking of Gods love. it was very cool to see.

Yesterday I had a pretty decent breakdown. All my frustrations just took over and I had to call my mom for some comfort. God definitely used her but there were alot of questions and doubts that I desperately needed to go to Him for. I took my bible and jounal out on a walk and found a place under a tree with an amazing view of the moutains. Even when I was still walking away from the house, God began to speak. He convicted me of my attitude immedeatly and I was brought to come to humbly. During the whole walk, after every question God brought a verse to my mind that carried His answer. When I was on my way home, I was grateful for the peace he had given but still frustrated that I had had one question left unanswered. God brought His final answer to me a few steps from the house. He is truly an amazing God. I know this was all very general, I will be more than excited to go into depth when i get back, just find me and ask ;)

So Gods been pretty amazing, and incredibly patient with me. My prayer requests are:
-continued peace as I know the devil will try bringing up these doubts again
-I wrote down a few things I really desire to work on here, so discipline to stay with each
-that I would be an encouragement to the people I'm living with
-that I would focus on others more than myself

Gods love to you all!
