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.

Drew, I could tell your fire was lit @ the arts conference. It appears you are being stoked in Honduras. Peace Brother.

"Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers him in times of trouble."

You are a missionary, no matter where you are, or what you are doing.
