Outreach update

So it´s been awhile since i´ve written, but i am doing well.
This last week we were in Iruya, Salta. it´s a little town tucked away
in the mountains of Northern Argentina, only about 3 hours away from
Bolivia.
a group from Mendoza (along with the base director) traveled with us
and spent a week evangelizing and sharing the love of God with the
people of Iruya.
Many people dod a lot of walking, travelign aver mountains just to
share God´s love with a family or two.
i was unable to travel because i was sick. my throat was inflamed and
it became very difficult for me to breath. i actually ended up going
to the hospital to get help. a few days later, i was feeling much
better and was able to go pray for people.
one of the hardest things for me since being here is being able to
pray in Spanish. and i actually got to pray for healing over a lady,
and i prayed in Spanish!!!!
thanks you, Lord!!! God is so good!
we also played and shared a lot with the kids of Iruya. we did dramas
in the cobblestone street, which went realy well. despite that i now
have bruises and scrapes on my legs and arms. but, i hope and pray
that the people received the message with open hearts!

i am in Mendoza right now, but tonight i will be heading to Misiones
(about a 32 hour bus ride).

thanks for all your continued prayers!
i´d love to hear how things are going in your life!

one girl, serving one God, with one goal = to reach the nations with
the love, truth, and grace of my Savior!

Lecture Phase Coming to an End

So life here in Mendoza is going really good.
God is doing so many great things and I am excited to be apart of all the things He is doing here. I am also very excited to see what He does in the future.
These past few weeks have been really busy as we leave for outreach on Friday, July 4th.
I am staying in Argentina but will be traveling to three other provinces, Buenas Aires, Salta, and Misiones. God has placed such an extreme passion in my heart. I am overflowing with joy and excitement for all the things God will do through me on this outreach!
One thing God showed me this last week was the passage in Jeremiah when God told him not to feel like a child, because God would place words in Jeremiah and everything would be okay. It was really awesome, because I felt like that was what God wanted to do in my team and me on outreach. We need not fear because God is always there right beside us and will place the words in our mouths necessary to be effective in sharing the gospel.
I have received such an abundance of the Holy Spirit that I feel like on outreach God wants to use me in extreme and radical ways, heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons. God alsospoke to me through a vision before i came here He told me there would be a little girl that i am supposed to meet and show her the love of God. He didn´t tell me anything else, so all i know is that i will find her and show her God´s love!!!
thanks for all your continued prayers!

Hola de Argentina!!! Hello from Argentina!!!

Hey Everybody...
so, before i left i was asked to write a blog in Spanish, so today i thought since i have time i would do it! So here goes...

This is a journal entry i wrote for the of May 13-19th.

"Victoria de La Semana" "Victory of the Week"

Este fin de semana tuvimos una mini-cruzada! Fue muy bueno!
Fuimos a una iglesia que se llama "Camino de la Vida" y está en un barrio me senti hay mucha tinieblas. Pero, cuando estabamos alla, orabamos muchisimo. Fuimos a una plaza y sentimos que esta plaza necesitaba al Espiritu Santo. Entonces, nos quitamos nuestros zapatos y medias y caminamos alrededor de la plaza. Proclamamos que esta lugar es de Dios. Despues, cantamos y arabamos más. No hicimos las obras, pero yo me senti que era el plan de Dios. Estoy muy emocionada por ver lo que Dios va a hacer en este lugar!

This weekend we had a mini-outreach! It went very good!
We went to a church called "The Path of Life" and in that neighborhood i felt that there is a lot of darkness. But when we were there, we prayed soooo much!!! We went to a "plaza" (which is kind of like a park) and we felt that this plaza needed the Holy Spirit. So, we took off our shoes and shock and walked around the plaza. We were proclaiming that this place was of God. After that, we sang and prayed more. We didn't do any of the dramas (we had practiced and planned a lot that week), but i felt that it was God's plan. I am very excited to see what God is going to do in this place!!!



...so there you have it. all written out in Spanish and English just in case you didn't understand. =)

love you all and i'm doing well. thanks for the prayers!
