A Wonderful Blessin

   First and foremost, I want to say THANK YOU! To all my supporters. Without you all, I would not have had this very incredible and life giving year. Saw three friends come to know Christ, been challenged and have grown immensely in my personal walk with Christ. This semester I've been out of town a lot, and my printer died, had my internet go out for a while, and my awesome desktop computer went down. :/ very frustrating. And it was all hard to fix or work around because I kept going out of town. But despite all that, I have traveled to boulder Colorado for a new staff field training. There I met with about thirty other new staff like myself and was very encouraged. On the first day we split into teams and wrote down what tough stuff is going on in our lives. And then categorized them. Was encouraged because I found that im not the only one having a hard time in specific areas. And the next day we had an amazing devotional and one of the regional staff talked about boundaries and how we can better prioritize our time. (where my main struggles were. Lol) we also had a 24 hr challenge. I was on one of the evangelism teams. We were given a location and some stats on the population of our location, and we got an idea and started planning on how to reach the students in this location with the Gospel. We built a giant chalk board for 12$ and set it up on campus the next day. We wrote a attention grabbing question on it: "How is your love life" we chose this because valentines day was very close. We also had surveys made up that asked relation ship questions and the questions led to whether or not one believe in true unconditional love, and if There was a God that loves unconditionally would they want to know Him?... I shared the gospel with 5 students and got 3 of them plugged into a local bible study. Two people on my team also prayed with a student to receive Christ as their savior. :) this all happened in an hour. One night and one morning of planning and one hour evangalising on campus..... It was amazing to see an impact one can make in a short amount of time. Christ really encouraged and lifted me up that week. There was a lot of other talks and such and heard a cool testimony by Andy Armstrong. On Thursday that week we went snow shoeing up in the mountains in 50 inches of snow. After three miles we got a group picture and prayed and thanked God for the day and each other...... when I got back I felt super recharged. Like I was on a month long vacation.... this was just one awesome week among many this year. God has blessed me and has used all of you supporters to do so. So thank you again. I really really really am thankful for all of you.
