Sending out

I got my phone in today. They don't send you a whole new phone. I have to use the back cover from my old one, it's weird. It's odd now, being able to see the whole screen. I have to get used to it again.

Off to Dominican everyone goes! I am so very excited for everyone going, it will be unlike any other year before. There are so many good memories, and so many stories that can be told of Dominican. My heart warms with just the thought of them. Each year my love for them seems to grow, and even more this year, since I will not be going. I will wait, patiently, and probably not so patiently at times, wait for my chance to go again, when God sees fit. I would love to go, however, I am content ( something I never would have expected). I am content just to be in Gods will. Who knows where He will lead me in the years to come, I may never get to go back.I pray that I will, but if He says no, then I am sure He has a reason. God has a lot to show me still, and I have a lot of stuff He has shown me that I am getting out.

Ahh...that is enough about me. I pray for safe passage through customs.I pray for the people and hearts in Dominican. I pray that doors will be opened for both them, and for us. I pray that the people God has chosen to be His hands and feet, would do just that; that they would go in His name, and do His work. I pray that blossoms would grow on the Godly relationships that have been formed there, that they would bear much fruit unto righteousness. I pray for the winds of the Holy Spirit to blow! I pray for God to move on every heart here and there! I pray for grace and mercy, for patience, and long-suffering. I pray for Truth, and Light.

Help!!

Ummm...BJ, the font is miniscule. I don't know how people will read it without straining their eyes. You will have to fix it.

Cameras are so nifty.

This is B.J., if you look you can see his arms reflected in his glasses where he took a picture of himself.

Muy Cansada

This is Lauren and I at the airport sleeping durring the layover. Before people threw stuff at us, and before unnamed people( B.J.) let people throw stuff at us. If you look you can see the hand of the person messing with us. I don't know what he was doing, but it was "Not cool dude, Not cool."

The power of prayer!

The moment this woman went up to the front things broke, and I just started to cry. Now is the time to pray though, new barriers have been broken, and things are being stirred up. It will take much prayer to break the hold of the devil. I feel like praying, but my friend won't call me and pray with me, so I am going to end up praying by myself. Oh well, it is just as powerfull.


P.S.- She finally did call me.

Repuuuuuuuublica Dominicana!

This is a picture of Carolina. The first is her this year, and the second is her from the previous year. The rest of the pictures are from the children's conference, and other random shots. The pictures of the children are some of my favorite. They really get to your heart, their eyes say soooo much, you see all the pain and brokenness in one look.
I want to go back so very badly, it is as though a part of my heart lies in each of the people hands. My friends were talkiing an saying that it was like their heart was not in America but in the Dominican, I never told them but just before they had said it I was thinking that is was like a part of my heart was there, but a part was in America. I figured out that those who were called to be missionaries felt their whole heart was in the Dominicain, but for me, one who is not called to that, felt as though only a part of my heart is there. If that makes sence. Like I am supposed to be there, but only for a time. But, yeah, anyway.

Dominican republic

I go back to the Dominican Republic in TWO DAYS!!!
I am so excited and I can't wait to see what God is going to do in me and the people there!
This is a picture of me and a friend, and my sister doing a dance for the teenage girls.
