Is that you God?

Oh hello world. Today we went to the market in Juliaca, that was fun! We bought a ton of food, I mean a TON. We pretty much stocked up on oreos for life. I brought some sweet headphones at the radio shack here for like ten bucks. Yippeeeeskipppeeee!
So I'm trying to discern if God is speaking to me or if its just my silly ambitions so please pray. I was wondering today how silly I must look to these people here. I am always doing hand motions and speaking english, its a littler embarassing. Its also embarassing that I always mix up my spanish words. I'm kind of a mess here, actually I am.
But seriously, how do you know who God is really speaking to you? I've been praying and reading in scripture so now I'm just waiting for a response. Sometimes I wish that God would just come down from heaven and smack me in the face and tell me what's up.
I wonder if people ask for silly signs like I do. Sometimes I'll be looking out the window at night and I will ask God to send a shooting star to tell me yes. I bet God is up in heaven laughing at me. That's probably what thunder is, God laughing at the silly things we do or just the silly things that I do. Oh God!
I'm ready to hear his voice.
-Love in Christ!

MOOOO

The Mo team left this morning, I really enjoyed getting to hang out with them! Today´s been pretty uneventful...we played with some kids and Jeremy S. and I made lunch. The most eventful thing that happened today is the toilet getting clogged. Yep. John (the missionary) will be arriving in a few hours and we are eating at a local restuarant and John is going to tell them a bible story. We have actually building a lot of relationships and we are going to be telling a bunch of people bible stories next week! I´m getting really excited!! And our team has been thinking of ideas for the church team when they come. It finally feels like we are really starting to spread the Gospel here! Goodness, I just feel like dancing!! I´m off to do some reading.

Lots of ground to cover.

I haven´t been able to get on the internet for a few days because the lady that owns the internet cavena has been out of town and that´s the only internet access we have here! So I have a few days to cover, I am just going to write whats in my journal.

People were saved in the Old Testament who did not know the name of christ but in the New Testament the mystery of Christ became known, this was a turning point; it ended the time of ignorance and made Christ known. The New Testament teaches that the coming of Christ was a decisive turn in redemptive history, which makes Christ the focus of ALL saving faith. There are unsaved persons among unsaved people groups who are seeking after God in an extraordinary ways. God accepts this search as genuine, and God works wonders to bring that person to the Gospel of Jesus Christ the way he brought Peter to Cornelius´s house in Acts. Wow, I was just questioning and thinking about so many things yesterday and God revealed thses truths to me. Check out the book: "Let the Nations be Glad!" by John Piper. Sara storied with two teenage girls yesterday, she told them the story of the fall of man. Sara is leaving Saturday because she has shingles and has been really sick, so everyone be praying for her!

Tuesday, June 29th
Last night Heather and I made pasta, fried cheese, and potatoe wedges. Yum!! How am I feeling today? Well I haven´t been home sick or anything, its actually been really good to get away in a sense. God´s been teaching me so much! He´s taught me that suffering is a big part of my christian walk and in my suffering, I am sharing Christ suffering. I can´t help what its going to be like when I get home and am caught up in my busy life. Everything seems so meaningless compared to Christ and sharing his word! Yesterday the Jeremy´s, Kelsey, and I went and got fire wood. We ended up hiking to the place that we went to when we went rock climbing, which is about four miles total. So I cared about fifteen pounds of firewood for two miles and up a huge hill, I thought I was going to pass out!!! Last night Jeremy Lou told two police officers the story of Creation, which was so awesome...even though he told it in Spanish so I couldn´t understand anything. ha! Last night I hide in the meeting room and jumped out and scared Kelsey and made her spill hot water everywhere. It was hilarious!

Today
The Mo team is here with us right now! There names are Tim, Jessica, and Mindy...I like them a lot. Tonight Sara and I are cooking dinner for ten people. Oh my! And Heather and Emily are teaching English classes at six to six people. Then Emily is telling the Creation story to Sophia and her husband (the people who own the store next to our house.) Its so exciting that we are actually starting to tell people bible stories! I have to go start making dinner for everyone. Keep praying everyone!!
-Love in Christ!

Axe Women, Rock climbing

So yesterday we had worship and then the two Jeremy´s, Kelsey, and I climbed halfway up the mountain that is on the outskirts of Conima to collect fire wood. Let´s just say that I could be on the show Axe Men. Then everyone had lunch at the house but I called Andrew and talked to him for a bit, he really encouraged me. Then the two Jeremy´s, Kelsey, and I went on a four mile hike down to Lake Titicaca(four miles total). There were so many good places to rock climb
so we decided to go ahead and do it! Jeremy Lou almost fell, a huge rock fell down and hit him in the chest. I started scaling the mountain pretty fast but then I came to a spot where I was stuck so the Jeremy´s pulled me up. Kelsey started freaking out a little bit but she ended up making it up too. When we got on top of the mountain, it was the most beautiful view in the entire world. I took a ton of pictures of course. Then the Jeremy´s decided to hop rocks in the Lake and they both ended up falling in, it was pretty hilarious. We found some more wood and carried it the two miles back, up this huge hill. I thought I was gonna die!!! Not really though. Then we remembed that we told a bunch of kids that we would play soccer with them so we had to do that right when we got back from the hike. I got to be on the kids team and we won!!! Victory!!
It was mine and Jeremy´s turn to make dinner so we made build your own burritos with guacamole and salsa and rice and chicken and everything!! I was delicious. Kelsey made no bake cookies and we made some apple cider and headed to the fourth floor where our little meeting room is. Jeremy S. made a fire and we drank apple cider and ate cookies and sang christmas songs! I´m seriously not joking, it felt like Christmas time! Then we worshipped God together and just fellowshiped for a few hours. I loved it!

Today I woke up, cleaned the bathroom and washed all my clothes! It feels good to have everything done. Then I made some yummy potatoe wedges. I´m becomming such a good cook!!! Now I am going to review my story again, we are starting to story tomorrow (tell people bible stories) so be praying everyone!!! God is good, all the time!
-Love in Christ!
