Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted in so long, but it has been a pretty crazy couple of weeks. The temperatures have been as high as 105 and no lower than 100. I have definitely learned to drink a lot of water. Because last week I had a bad fever, which made it really hard for me to find the energy to get done what I needed to, but that morning in my quiet time I read the verse where God tells us not to complain, I went into prayer with that thought. I prayed to God that he would give me energy and would speak through me as I went through bible camp and community projects. God definitely answered my prayer when he spoke through me and led a little girl, Miriam, to Him. We have been staying really busy, and even busier now that my own site has opened up, that me and my partner are in charge of. Like I said it is really hot, and while the teams that come to help us have a good heart, they sometimes seem to lose their focus on why they are here, they more or less focus on how hot or tiring that it is, or how they dont want to sing silly songs with the kids, when really these kids are outside in this all day because it is a better place than their homes where there is no one to share God's love with them or sing silly songs with them. Pray that they remember what Paul said, "In everything you do, do enthusiastically, as you are working for the Lord and not for men," Colossians 3:23. Also pray for the community, there have been a few run-ins. Due to rising temperatures, tempers are also rising as we have had few issues this week. I am ready and excited to come home, but I am even more excited to be here serving the Lord and following his will for my life.
