Ahh! I am finally here! It's only been a day but I already miss people :( It has been fun meeting diverse people from all over the States and the world. It's kind of funny though because people keep thinking I am from Bolivia working in the US instead of being from the US going to Bolivia. A person from Egypt told me I have very Egyptian features! I'm not going to complain about that :)
Anyway, I am sitting in the computer lab waiting for our Worship time to start. So far it has been a very chill time. Mostly hanging out with Kyle while meeting new people and trying to develop new relationships. It is kind of weird knowing that these are my last few days in the States before I leave for eleven months. I pray that I may change...that God may use me and I may obey. I am excited! Just been trying to focus my eyes on Jesus and have been repeating two verses to myself whenever I feel overwhelmed or fearful. The first is from 2 Timothy 1:7-"For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." And the second from 2 Corinthians 4:18, "For we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." Thank you everyone for all of your prayers. Please keep them coming!
