Hey All! I just updated last week but thought I would again because I have a quiet night.
   I love it here so far! I especially love these kids. There is nothing better then walking through the street and having kids come running up dying for hugs. I love it. I am going to be taking over the kids program in probably a month or so, once I learn more Spanish. That will be challenging but a lot of fun.
  Probably the biggest problem I have run into here is the huge language barrier. It seems to be falling VERY slowly. I do love the language though.Please continue to pray for me in this area!
  We are headed to Nicaragua the beginning of December with the small team from Maine and a few people from here in Anonos. That trip is going to cost about $400, so I am going to need some support in this area. We are going to be putting on a big Christmas party there (in a town called Tippy-Tappa) and giving gifts to kids that normally would have no Christmas at all. So the money raised will help with buying gifts, feeding them at the party, ect... It should be awesome! I am excited for what God is going to do there. Please be also praying and consider giving to Harvest Hands specifically for this trip.
     Julie is definitely a wonderful mentor and friend to me! She is amazing and sooo on fire for God! She has a passion for the people here, especially the women. She has started exercise class and English class for them and they are totally loving it! Its amazing to watch. She actually teaches English here for all ages and I hope to get into that eventually too. It is really valuable to the people here. To know a second language helps them in a lot of ways.

  Another big thing that is happening here is the start of the new church. It is going well and you can soo tell that Gods hand is all over it. Right now we are preparing the building and holding small groups there. Julie is putting murals on the wall in some rooms and it looks AMAZING!
   Something that I believe God is putting on my heart is teaching the teen girls here about sexual purity, though I really don't know what they have already learned even about God yet. I would love to get a group started as soon as possible  with them. I have heard that they really have a huge wall up when it comes to teaching them. Please, please, pray for this area. I really want to be the missing link they need to get into a relationship with Christ.

  Well, its only been about 2 and a half weeks and I cant imagine leaving! Maybe this is what I will do with the rest of my life! Who knows. But thank you for your prayers!!! Miss you all!
