March for Jesus

In the high school with some of the girls...

After an honest talk about eating disorders and sexuality.... with a Biblical perspective! We could NEVER get away with this in public schools in America!

The entire counseling school.. my family for these 3 months

With Daniela

Juliette, the base director, and her daughter Katrina.

This weekend we had a big march with the entire base to "reclaim Pichilemu for Jesus", which was super entertaining and fun and a little big ridiculous. We all dressed up in bright colors, painted our faces with our country's colors, wrapped ourselves in our flags and marched around singing, dancing, chanting, flame-throwing, drum-beating and did dramas all around Pichilemu. Ahhh good times. Babies, grandpas, leaders, students, dogs... EVERYONE in the base marched around the whole little city and it was so entertaining to see the looks on the peoples' faces as we went by. Classic.

GOOD NEWS!

The school program was amazing, the kids were super receptive and involved, we got to give each class of freshmen and seniors a teaching on drug prevention, eating disorders and sexuality (from a very Christian perspective!) and we even got to give a gospel message at the end which was unexpected but amazing. Over 30 kids requested personal counseling from us, which we will start this week, and the school principal invited us to come give the sophomores and juniors the teachings also! We might even start a Christian club on campus, which would be so cool. God opened up doors beyond what we even imagined! Keep praying they will be open to receive Christ as well as counseling, that's the end goal.

Pray:

-for friendships and communication in leadership (we are all being tested in this area since that's what we are working on in the school - communication and leadership skills - and of course so many little conflicts and problems are breaking out in these areas!)

-health (I am getting better but always a little sick - my body just doesnt like all the changes in climate here)

-guidance - for the future, for clarity, for purpose, for making future plans!!

Thank you!!! Love you all!!
