One of the Houses We Worked On


The Bus Ministry




One of the things that we did there was help with the weekly Bus Ministry on the reservation.


We went to a differient neighborhood on two differient days. The first time we helped was right after we got to Globe from Phoenix on our first day there. We literally did not even have time to unload our bags from the car before we had to get on the bus and go.


I met so many adorable kids and many of them likely would have a heartbreaking story to tell. Of alchoholism, rape and incest, and gang violence. I was so very glad that I was able to bring the stories of the Bible and a little bit of love into their lives along with the staff of ARM.
When we arrived into the neighborhoods we would go and pick up the kids and then go to a level place in the middle and park the bus. Then we would sing, have a lesson (which was puppets while we where there), pray, and then break for crafts, games, a snack and just getting to know the kids. It really was very cool and great to get to become their friend in the short time we where there.




I returned from Arizona a while ago now, but it seems that my time there was very short. Yet, also while i was there it seems that I was there for very long time. I met many new people and made many new friends. And I hope that in some way I was able to help the people there and make an impact in their lives.

Arizona


Arizona!!

I am very excited to be going to Arizona tomorrow !!! =)
I pray that God will bless this trip and help me to make a differience in these
people's lives in the short time I am there. And that we will have safety in our travels
there and back. If you would join with me in prayer also, that would be great!

Here I come, Arizona!

So I say to the mountain move...

There is nothing that I need that He won't provide..
There is nothing that I need that He won't supply...
When I believe..
When I believe..

So I say to the mountain move...so I say to the mountain..
Get out of my way!
So I say to the mountain move...so I say to the mountain..
Get out of my way!

Future Mission Trips

I have a few prospective Mission trips coming up more or less soon. I am going in October to Arizona for a week to help on a Apache reservation. Then next summer I would like to go to Kenya and that winter to India. In between I think that I may go to college at Ivy Tech Community College for Nursing and then go full time to the mission field from there. It seems as if I have it all planned out , but we'll see what God's plans are. Please pray for me through this process. =)
