So i think me and Rachael and Jared are in love with this lady named Catrina. She is an amazing lady. I have talked about her in my earlier blogs and every time i meet her she just amazes me even more. So i truly and fully believe God sent the three of us to her because she told us that she has been praying to God for weeks that she needed someone to explain the bible to her because her church that she attends now was not helping her in the way she needed. I think of Phillip and the eunuch and how he said to Phillip "how can i understand unless someone explains it to me?" the only difference is, is we haven't baptized Catrina yet but i doubt it will be long. She said she wanted to pray about it and so as much as we would have loved to baptized her Thursday when we met with her it of course has to be her decision we just encouraged her not to put it off too long. But what me and Rachael told her the funny part of it all was, is that God didn't just send us to her. He sent us to her from Colorado and from Virginia. Guess he really wanted her to hear his word. She is so on fire that she read Proverbs and John and Ruth and Ester end to end because she just couldn't stop reading. We also got to meet her boyfriend Devin for the first time Thursday. He is a very devoted man not only to Catrina but to following what God wants for them both. That relationship will be a successful one which is scarce in the inner city.
Wednesday was a good day. We did a lot of in house work like doing camp lesson plans and such. But church was really good. I learned the sign language sign for "froggy" like feeling froggy. It may have just been the sign for frog but either way i learned it. After church we took 5 kids out with us to get ice cream at this awesome place called the Cammie's Old Dutch Ice Cream. It is soooooooooo good. So that was an awesome day
Also on Thursday morning one of the local churches hosted a grocery give away and i got to teach the lesson we do afterwards. It was pretty awesome. I spoke about Ruth and the purpose of of kinsmen redeemer and how Jesus is our kinsman redeemer. I am still assimilating to how you teach to this culture so i saw some points where i could have done a bit better but all in all it went really well i think. I get to teach the boys class with Jared in the coming Sundays so I am really excited about that.
Friday was our day off so me and Rachael joined this awesome gym that Jared is a part of that they let you pay month to month and its only $10!!! So we have all been working out and running these past few days. I feel great because of it too. Then we killed the whole work out with BWW. Well not the whole thing but a good part of it.
Also one last thing. I got a web cam so if anyone who reads this wants to Skype me or something let me know. My hours are crazy but i'll try to find time to make it work. Thanks for the prayers!!!
