Week 6.....check!

Wow. only one more week left!!! so wierd to think about it. Its amazing the things that God had planned to teach me over this time.

So I have gotten clearence to fill you all in a little more. Basically, there was a Bolivian house family living in the volunteer house, they ran everything including money, activities, food, everything. Well, they are now gone. They moved to Canada for his job. This may be stuff you knew already but I felt I should add it just in case. We initially thought that we would have someone moving in to replace them, but that hasnt happened. They have Mike (the founder of Hospitals of Hope) and a woman named Leta (who will be staying till December) coming on the 31st. We, has volunteers have been alone since last friday, and God has blessed me with the job that they had. There is a girl from church who knows english and is helping us, which is an amazing blessing. I feel so much like a mother here lol I am in charge of the money and coordinating activities for us volunteers. It's been a lot of fun planning things for the afternoon, calling people is made alot easier with our translator, but I've gotten to practice my spanish alot more. God has taught me so much through "running" this house. As many of you know, I have never considered myself a leader, and here, God is giving me alot of practice in that area. Its been an awesome growing experience when it comes to my faith. I have been seeing God bring so much peace and provide so many blessings.

More volunteers yesterday, who are a blessing in themselves! We had a fire last night and they led us in worship as well as a prayer time. Its been such a blessing having them and being encouraged by them in my faith. They are so excited about the Lord and what He desires to teach them here during this trip.

On sunday, we had an awesome opportunity to spend more time with the college kids we met at church. It really just hit me during lunch, staring at the mountains, that I was legit in another country, by myself (no family/friends from home). A year ago I would never have pictured myself here, its absolutly amazing how God has grown me to this point and continues to teach me over and over.

Prayer Requests:
-God has put me in this spot of leadership, so I have no doubt that He will get me through this. Please pray for continued peace though for me as I can have something planned, and I forget that I am in Bolivia, where time means basically nothing. It has been a huge frustration for me. As well as the fact that I'm a people pleaser and I trying to make sure everyone is happy is hard for me.
-Money-wise. I am in control of the budget. Please be praying that God would give me peace and wisdom when it comes to spending and taking care of all the neads of the house.
-That I would be a blessing to the volunteers and the Bolivians.
-That God would continue to teach me and help me to live out the rest of my time to the fullest.

Love you all, Thanks for all the prayers and the support.
