Buenos Tardes!

This is going to be a extremely busy weekend for me. Tonight my group is having a "fall fest", then I am leaving early tomorrow (6 o'clock!) for church.

There have been some miscommunications with my original church, so my church group (there are 4 of us) are being placed in a new church every other weekend. I will have two churches now, one where I will be doing a lot of outreach with and be living with, and with the other (my original church) we will focus on growing. The GAP program used the new church I will be going to in past years but it is about 2 hours away, so they tried a different, closer church this year instead. Unfortuently, this church is very small and is not very intent on growing. This has been very discouraging for my church group, so we're very thankful that we are able to go to another church every other week.

I will be spending all day Saturday working with the new church doing outreach in the community, then I will be staying with a family from the church overnight and attending church with them Sunday morning. Then I will return to the Villa with my church group around 4. We then have worship here in the evening for an hour or two. Monday I am up bright and early again for a trip to a famous Catholic Cathedral for the day.

November 13 we are hosting a Jesus video for our community. I am working on translating my testimony to Spanish so I can share it with some of the people who come. We now have learned enough spanish that we are starting to go out into the community to share the Word of God! It's so exciting to finally be using what I've learned.

Thank you for all your prayers and support!
God bless!
