Updateeee.

So, last night was a night to remember.  We got to choose our outreach location, actually God chose the location for us according to his plan.  I'm staying in Mexico and going to Mexico City and Pachuca and villages down in southern Mexico!

I am PUMPED! I couldn't be more excited about my outreach location! The other choice was Haiti/Dominican Republic! I did NOT want to go there at all being completely honest.  It was the last place I wanted to go.  This is not something I voiced out loud! God is SO faithful though. He knew my heart was for Mexico and it's culture & people.  I love everything about this place.  Especially the people-YES the MEXICAN people.
It's time to stop being so judgmental America and realize that not all Mexicans are illegal border jumpers.  They have hearts, passions and desires just like we do.  They have the same FAITH that we do.  Why is America so quick to judge Mexico?  I'm not sure but I absolutely love the people here! They are some of the greatest people I've ever met.   But that's enough of my little rant! :D

If you would like to know how I came to this decision I will tell you.  We had about 30 minutes to pray about the 2 locations.  They gave us 2 colors to chose from.  Gold and Silver.  I then took my bible and went off and just prayed that God would show me where he wanted me to go.  I kept thinking of random verses that didn't make sense at all to me but then i saw the word SILVER.  I was like oh, my color is silver.  I didn't have peace though. I turned in the paper anyways with the word silver on it.  I then talked to my friend Monique who told me she chose gold [we wern't supposed to do this shhh] it was then that I had more peace because she was dying to go to Haiti.  Then one of my leaders Kelsey talked to me about what I wrote and that gave me peace as well.  Then it was revealed where we were to go.  Silver was Mexico, Gold was Haiti! God is SO faithful.  He gave me the heart for Mexico so why would he call me to Haiti?

Psalm 37:4 "Delight in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." That verse has a lot of meaning in my life right now, in more ways than one.

This week we are learning about a lifestyle of repentence. I have been having trouble the past 2 days paying attention so hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Last week, we learned about justice and we had one hour to do something that would have an impact regarding the issue of justice.  I wrote a song with my friend Adam.  One of our leaders Josh helped me put it to music and give it a tune! I'll post the words tomorrow.  I would like to also record a video of it and put it on facebook! So, pay attention.

OH YEAH! IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO KEEP UPDATING THIS PLEASE MAKE COMMENTS! :D

In Christ.
