Hey everyone!!! going on week #5.... This week I started tutoring a girl in English which has been interesting because she speaks no english, so with my little Spanish I am trying to teach her.... :) it has been pretty fun though :) Also, I started doing Bible study with children from the community, We learned a lesson from the Bible in Spanish answered questions, did an activity and then followed with a craft. They are awesome kids, two of them know english so that helps a lot.... The team from Chicago put in a bathroom for the rentaria family, who is the family we have been visiting each week and doing bible study with... Mr Rentaria has been in bed for the last 5 weeks or so, he can not move but is slowly recovering... This family has been through a lot of hardships and it has been a blessing to reach out to them and minister to one of many families who is struggling physically but prospering in the Lord....
On the other hand, Jossy left the 18th for Europe and I miss her a lot.... if you get a chance to read this Jos, I love you so much and i'm praying for you while you're serving the Lord.... Thank you so much for you encouragement... It means so much to me.... Every time i get discouraged I think of you and just remind myself that we are serving God together in two different places.... And if you can do it for "11"months haha, then i can surely stay strong for 2 months... :) I love you so much babe and I miss you but I hope everything is going great for you... i loved your story about the bike ride, haha that made my day, i felt sorry for you but it was also really funny ;) i'm sure you'll have lots more experiences like that... but hey, that's what makes things interesting.... :) love ya sis!!!! i'm staying strong for you, stay strong for me!

Aaaahhh, Lauren!! I love you too!!! Unfortunately, I can't leave that long of a comment, because I have to go to bed really soon, but I just want to remind you of something I learned recently that really impacted me... We are on this earth to please God and God alone... Do whatever you have to do,,, dance like crazy during worship,,,,sing as loud as you want to our God... jump around in excitement... When you come before our God, have no reservations Lauren and surely do not be ashamed to worship our God in spirit and in truth...We are out to prove nothing, unless we prove how Great our God is...Be yourself and don't care what others think... I love you just the way you are and so does God... I love you sis!!! I hope the rest of your month is extremely life changing for you... live every day of your life... OHHH, and if you can, watch a video on youtube called "Indescribable" by Loui Gigleo (I'm not sure if I'm spelling his name right). But, watch this video... It will leave you in tears and change your outlook on God.. I promise you won't regret watching it... It won't put you to sleep... O.k. Love you soooooooooooo much!! But unfortunately, I don't love you as much as God loves you... Goodnight dearest!!!
