A late update

Okay again i am very sorry for not updating this thing often. But ill give you all an update. We split up our class in half because its too big to do outreach all together, so last week (the week of november 11th to the 18th) My outreach group was in Usa River. No not U.S.A. Its pronounced Oo sa River. So basically it was the bush bush. No electricity, no running water, you had to walk to one of the little rivers, LOTS of mosquitos, and very very hot. It was a very good week. I learned a lot on how people really live out in Tanzania, because the majority of the people here dont have electricity, etc. It was a very humbling experience. We do prayer in the morning, then we do door to door ministry just sharing the word of God to people. Wewill pray with them if they except, and we invite them to the crusades we were having. I was forced by my leader to sing in swahili a couple of songs by myself, but that was really cool. We ate loads of sugar cane. Usa River has sugar cane growing EVERYWHERE!!! Ok and we would also do our crusades everyday, and we would have our own little prayer, worship, and sharing the word time for just us DTS students. Then at night time we did revival meetings. I had to preach on saturday. That made me a bit nervous because i have never preached before. So i just gave a bit of my testimony and just shared the grace of God with people and just said what He has done in my life. I was nervous up until the moment i went infront of people and the Holy Spirit just calmed my heart from there. Then this last week we had class again and we learned about the Heart and Character of Jesus Christ and the Cross, and about the Holy Spirit. I think this week was the best lecture week of all because you could just tell that the Holy Spirit was teaching through this man Tony and it just really spoke to us this week. He opened a lot of our minds to the fact that our old lives died with Christ on the Cross and we are really seated with Him. And that God isnt against us when we sin, but with us against our sin. And Also that the Holy Spirit is a person and we cant neglect the Holy Spirit because he is who gives us revelation about God, and allows us to interperet and hear from God. So it was a very powerful week. We FINALLY found out where we are going on our main outreach, and that is to Mwanza, Tanzania. Its very north of Tanzania. It is the second biggest city in Tanzania next to Dar Es Salaam, which is the capital of Tanzania. So we are very excited. Its a 14 hour drive from Arusha to Mwanza, but we get to drive throught the serengeti. so that will be fun. So we all need your daily prayers that God just strengthens us and that n one gets malaria because there are many many mosquitos there. And also today someone tried reaching in my pocket to steal my cell phone today while i was waiting for the Dala dala. But i felt him and put my hand over my pocket and he acted like he didnt do anything, so that was exciting. But God has revealed, i believe, plans that He wants for me, so please pray for me about that, because i feel like God is caling me to the Wyoming YWAM base, maybe staffing on their DTS. Which means i will be able to go do ministry in other countries for every DTS class. So just see if you feel that it's really from God. Thank you all and God Bless you all

A Quite Exciting Update

Well, where to start. I will start with a couple of weeks ago. I had a filling in my tooth that had come out, and so I needed to get it refilled. So i went to a dentist that is one of the better ones a little outside of town. When i sat down, the dentist grabs the drill and says, "ok, open up." I was shocked, I was like, " You are gunna drill my mouth now?!? Isn't that going to hurt?" The dentist says, " No, no pain." Ok ya right no pain! I thought I was going to die when he started drilling my tooth with out novocaine. Then he asked me if I wanted a shot and i was like Oh yes i do. And then my tooth was fix. But boy howdy that was an experience. And this week we did a mini outreach in Arusha town. We stayed at a church called All Nations. But the church is in the process of being built, so we slept in tents on the church property. It was a really good week. We did door to door ministry, just sharing the Word of God to people. I believe about 6 people got saved and that was just with the one group out of 5 or 6 that we had going around to different areas of Arusha. This church is surrouned by 7 mosque's, 1 sikh temple, and 1 hindu temple. On wednesday, 6 of us had gone to a restaurant that was right across the street from the building in front of the church. Well the other 4 had left because Jordan and i had to take a restroom break before we went back. We didnt know the other 4 were leaving. So we just walked back to the church. On the way back we had to go between these buildings. Well there were 7 guys walking towards us and all of a sudden they grabbed Jordan and i noticed and started to run, and i screamed. LIKE A GIRL! then they grabbed me. They held knives to our throats and told us that they were gunna kill us. They stole our wallets, which had our drivers lisence, money, and copies of our passports. They also stole both of our watches, and they also ripped my necklace off of my neck. They didnt take it off. Oh no, they ripped is off of my neck. And it hurt. They didnt hurt us other then just choking us to hold us still. God totally had his protection around us during that. Once i saw the knife and they took me to the ground i just started praying and God was definately in our presence. So for those of you at home reading this who have been continually praying for me, please pray that God just continues to protect us. Well thats all i have time for. I will right more soon about this week, but i have to go.
God Bless
