Durango!!!

We are finally on outreach! Saturday at 5am, 3 staff and us 5 girl students left for Durango. It has been a crazy start for this outreach phase, but so much fun. We arrived to our home (a sort of camp place/bible school institute out of the town). It´s only been 4 days, but so much has gone on. From shower water that smells like rotten egg, to getting locked out of our dorms, from cleaning windows to fiestas! ... ahh, the life. haha!

Oh, but God has been working big things in my life through just the first part of the trip. I can see already prayers being answered from when we had intercession in lecture phase. In our prayer meetings for outreach, we would always pray for energy, and every day so far I have been energized and renewed through the word of God and just loving people. I´ve been learning that the only way you can enjoy an outreach is by living out Colossians 3 vs. 23 : Whatever you do, do it with ALL of your heart, as working for the LORD, not for men. I´m so used to going into something, just seeing the goal. Get it done. But now my desire is different... To impact people through love. To encourage the faithful, and embrace the lost. It makes so much of a difference, and brings so much joy and satisfaction after each day!

And I am so excited for tonight :) The kids at the christian school that we are working at are doing a christmas program, and are going to sing a bunch of christmas carols in English! They are so cute!
