So I know this blog was supposed to be written more often,
but I have been involved with so much since the Bible Institute started that I
have not had much down time! Hence the reason for me being sick a lot! Here is
to catch you up a little!
I am in my last month here in
Argentina! Can you believe it? It’s so bittersweet! It’s like I don’t want to
leave everyone here but at the same time, I miss home and everything about home
SO MUCH! I know God has something for every day left and I can’t wait to see
them! Right now, I am talking Clubes Biblicos, which is basically “youth group”
and it wonderful! Just teaching us how to properly run a youth group, bible
club, college group, etc. I am also
taking Synthesis of the Old Testament, which the teacher talks really fast, but
I am enjoying it so far! In another
week, my Bible Club class will switch to Bibliology for the last two weeks of
class. After that, I have exams, then my
parents arrive, and then I go home! How crazy is that!?! I can’t believe where
we are right now! I keep hearing from
everyone to not wish the time away and to focus in this remaining time. I am trying to remember that but at the same
time, there is nothing wrong with being excited to go home! I miss home so
much! Also, I know God has fulfilled His
purpose with me here, and that’s one of the biggest reasons why I am excited to
see what He has next for me at home and at Clearwater Christian! It’s the next part of Gods plan that He gets
to reveal to me! I can’t wait!
I want to thank the people who have
been reading this all the way from the first blog! It was quite a few and I
know I have started writing much less, I apologize! Haha It’s been crazy! On the weekends every once in a while, I
leave all day on Saturdays to do evangelizing around Buenos Aires. Last Saturday, being after exams, mentally
and physically exhausted because I don’t think I have ever studied like that
before, wanting to sleep, I did NOT want to go! And I had a bad bad bad
attitude about it! It affected my whole day! So, this weekend, God gave me
another chance. It started with Friday,
in the legality building, asking for an extension of my tourist visa so I don’t
have to pay a ridiculous fee to leave the country…I was able to talk to a girl
from Germany, that was studying in Buenos Aires and knew English from living in
the states for a year. I was in a loss
for words, don’t know why, and did not get the chance to share the gospel with
her because of timing, but I got her name and got the chance to ask if I could
pray for her in any way! She was very
sweet, and very shocked to see a random American girl asking a question like
that! She said she was good for now, “been pretty lucky lately” and she left. I went back to a friend waiting in our group,
and after being frustrated cause I couldn’t find the words or the chance to
share Christ, Casey reminded me that we don’t know who has spoken with her
before, or who is going to talk with her in the future, so we must just be
willing to speak for Christ in every moment possible! 1 Corinthians 3:5-on says that perfectly and
explains how we are just called to go out! The next day Saturday, with this
mindset, in my devotions didn’t even ask for a salvation but just for the chance
to talk to someone! Even though the neighborhood was very closed off, we were
able to talk with quite a bit of people and me and another kid in my group, led
3 little boys to Christ, in a park using the evangecube! HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!
He is always with us and working more than we can ever see! I am just so
blessed by all the opportunities that I have had while being here!
Speaking of opportunities, I have
yet to go to the jail! The first week, we got there and couldn’t enter because
of a conflict inside and then the week after and after, spiritual warfare of
stupid rules made up for people who don’t have certain documents! So if you
could be praying that I get the chance this week or if not, that the truth
would be brought to those women some how, some way!! :)
I am so excited for what is to
come, back in the states! I can’t even explain what all God has done here! I
will be writing my last few blogs here soon, and of course one to wrap up this
chapter! I am so thankful to have had this opportunity and to have seen how God
has grown me to be who I am now! I was thinking about when my parents come in
just a few short weeks for graduation (sidenote: WHICH YOU ALL CAN WATCH
ONLINE! IT WILL BE JULY 6TH AT 10 O CLOCK AM ARGENTINA TIME, WHICH
IS 9:00 AM IN FLORIDA!), its going to be a whole new part of me that they haven’t
seen yet! I can’t wait! AHHHH!
Prayer Requests:
1.
FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS!
2.
Anymore opportunities for evangelism
3.
Go to prepare me for what He has next!
