Denmark and Walls falling Down.

I have a few things to catch you up on. There was a group of 23 fro Denmark that stayed on the base and worked with Alvin for a few days. They were really weird at first, but after a while you start to get used to them. The only thing was that every time they were sharing something at church or at the prison and needed to be translated, they were being translated from Danish (which literally sounds like drunken grunting) into spanish, so I never really understood all of what they were saying. But they were amazing at soccer, had singing prayers, and had amazing happy birthday songs. It was really cool to work with them in the prisons, and they were amazing with the kids on the street. It was obvious that they really enjoyed having so many people out there. It was sort of like a party on the streets.

Now, the group that I have been working with that is from West Virginia is going to leave tomorrow, and I´m gonna be all by my lonesome. Kind of a sad story.

Right now also the trade school and the base are both becoming unavailable to Alvin. So to end Alvin´s renting the trade school building we had to tare down some walls, and at the base they are (literally right now) taring down the wall between a church service room and the dining room. Needless to say we ate dinner outside and it was amazing. Lot´s of walls coming down in this country.

Time For Some Numbers

There comes a time where I feel like giving some good solid numbers gives some good insight on how things have been going for somenone. This is especially true considering that about 0% of the stories that I have to tell would be better in written format. Those must be in person. So here goes:

I have painted hundreds upon hundreds of square feet

I have eaten about twice as much at every meal than I normally do (one of the meals we actually named amazing)

I usually get up at about 6:00... crazy

I have worked with 3 completely different groups who I have never met before (all from the south I must inform you) and gotten along with all of them as if they were my own group

I have seen almost a hundred kids and teenagers devote their lives to Christ

There are more I am sure, but I just had to mention those.
I haven´t told yet of going to the October 21st center yet. It is a juvinile detention center where boys who have been picked up off the streets or cought doing drugs and such are sent. The we all shared our testimonies (and let me tell you they are all some of the most powerful testimonies I have ever heard. I feel so blessed just to have met these people out on the mission field just like myself), then a pastor that is with us, Pastor Robert, shared a message. After that we gave the boys all the opportunity to come foprward and dedicate their lives to Christ, and almost all of them did. It was amaziing. We shared the same way at a girls detention center and it was incredible to see the look in these girls´eyes behind their tears. You could tell that they wanted to change their lives.

Also, this is for whoever has been praying for God to reveal his plan for my life, and parts of my heart and who am that I may be able to use those for His calling for me. Yeah, basically he is answering your prayers in the most incredible ways. You know, those ways that only our father in heaven is capable of. Yeah, I just wanted to let you know that.
