Springtime!

Pichilemu!

Can you find the gringa?

MY BABY! I am in LOVE with Elisabeth, she is the cutest baby EVER and she loves me too! When she hears my voice she tries to jump out of her mom's arms, and I am one of the only people she will fall asleep with. She is always smiling and laughing - I am basically obsessed with her.

Konichiwa! (I have no idea how to spell that)

Translating! ...In front of everyone! ....with my face painted like a geisha... cool.

"And here you can see the points we will pray for in China..."

I forgot to mention: please keep my health in your prayers - I've had a cold/sore throat for like three weeks and it won't go away no matter how much lemon and honey I drink and no matter how many days I don't talk... although, let's be real, that is no going to work out so well). I think it's interesting that I lose my voice right when I start serving in worship and interpreting ministries. Coincidence? or not?

I am also part of a team working with the public high schools this week and next week presenting classes on sexuality, drug prevention, anorexia and bulimia. It is a miracle they gave us six days ALL DAY to teach these kids "positive messages" (we can't really mention Jesus but we are going to sneak Him in there anyway)... please pray for our presentations (I am making the power points - all in Spanish of course, which is a challenge with all the technical terms and definitions and big words that I don't know very well yet)... and also for next week when we present the classes:

-for the kids to be open-hearted and willing to listen

-for the directors and teachers as well

-for the schools to be won over for Christ

-for counseling and continued opportunities in the school (we will be giving counseling hotline phone numbers and offering free counseling to students from the YWAM base)

Thank you!!
