It is finally here!
My flight leaves at noon tomorrow!
This first week, I will be participating in the activities that the team will be doing; they will primarily be providing eye exams to the children at Aljaba and the local people. They will also be training the staff at the local church and Aljaba to perform the exams.
If you would like to see a detailed scheduale and blogging on this team the link is below:

I would especially appreciate your prayers this first week, because I am battling a bladder infection; but so far I haven't had any side effects! Praise The Lord!
Will try and post pictures as often as I can.

Love you all!

Over and over he takes the situations into his own hands and often listens to the advice of his closet relationships above God's. Yet God continues to remind Abram of his promise and blessing.

For the first time we see Abraham surrenders his will an...

A ugust began a new chapter for me here in Leticia. I began alternating teaching English one week with teaching a physical activity such as art, embroidery, sewing, exercise, etc. the next. For the most part my weekly schedule is teaching the tutors Monday morning and planning me week's lesson for the kids; On Tuesday I do my grocery shopping, work on updating the info for the each child's sponsor, and doing whatever else there is to do. Wednesday I teach Group 1 with ages ranging from kinder garden to third grade; Thursday I teach Group 2(4th-5th grade) and Group 3 and 4(middle and high schoolers) on Friday. On Wednesday nights I sometimes attend a small Bible study in a home with people from my church, otherwise I head home by 5pm to make dinner, read, and watch the news. Friday and Sunday night I gather with the church for a time of prayer, worship, and study....I so look forward to this time during the week! I love ending my week in worship a...
