The Pics!!!









Republica Dominicana!!!

Hola. Dios te bendiga.
So I just got back from The Dominican!!1 It was like the most awesome mission trip I ever did go on!!! The thing that I think that I loved most about it was that I was ministering to people in another country, but still could understand the language! I have a new found love and understanding for the Spanish language! I loved speaking and listening to Spanish it's such a beautiful language and I'm going to be fluent one day!!! We ministered in a boys and a girls orphanage. In the boys we painted and cleaned and cleaned and painted and all sorts of stuff for about the first 4 days. Then we went to the girls and painted and painted at the school the girls went to. And we bought food for the girls. The girls orphanage was a lot nicer than the boys but they didn't have much food and they didn't have enough money to pay rent. Then we went 3 hours up into the mountians by Hati and worked in villages. They were soo poor and it was so sad to see them all half dressed and dirty. There one team went door to door and prayed for the familys while our team(the Master's) went and set up to do a childrens show. we did puppets, a drama called No tocar (sin chair), a worship song called Mi rey Jesus, and an alter drama called Cambio (or in return). We prayed for the kids and handed out candy it was an awesome time!!! One of our busses broke down when we were out there, but they sent us a new one. I got to see Sammy who is from New Life, but has been in the DR sence January for CMQ. Which is Masters Commission there in the Dominican! I have like 300 pictures that I could put here but I'm only gonna pick a few. :) I hope that the Hati mission trip went well!!!
Oh and we had a container sent full of our supplys and food and clothes to hand out, but it isn't going to arive untill later this week and Sammy, Heidi(our missions director), and the rest of the CMQ team are going to hand out the stuff! To God be the Glory!!!

MCUSA has so much vision and experiance it's amazing! They have so much anounting! We also got to visit with 2 young adults that are from Chicago but are in there first year at MCUSA. Another awesome thing... Pastor David and Mari (my Directors) Were accepted on the MCIN board! Many of you may be wondering what I'm going to do next year. I am wondering the same thing as well. But as soon as the Lord leads me to something I wil let you all know!!!

Wow sorry it's taken me so long to write, but I've been busy over here in Chi! This morning I just got back from New Jersey and Pennsilvania where we ministered at 3 different churches! It was really awesome! Accept the part where I got sick. :-( I have a sinus infection. Not so fun but I'm making it. I only get two days off for Thanksgiving so I'm staying here. But my parents and Shealee are coming on the 25th and 26th to visit me. I don't have a whole lot of time I was just writing to let you know I'm still alive now I'm off to do my crazy amounts of laundry. How I miss my washer and dryer!!!
Love you all!!!

Hola!!!!

Hola! How is everyone??? I'm doing well and making it through the hectic schedule, lack of sleep, and multiple personalities to get along with! :D Last week was very busy! We did a march with a church in the south side on Tuesday. Then the whole week we practiced dramas for the big sleep over at Humbolt Park. We also had a march on Friday night to Humbolt. Then we had worship and dramas! It was great. Oh and all this was for the Ex. 20:13 campaign, Which is the though shalt not kill. It has to do with gun violence and violence among the youth! It was awesome! We didn't spend the night at the park but we stayed there until 3 am and then we got to go back to the dorm for a nap and had to be ready by 6:45 to go back to the park and do some more stuff. Yay!! I was so tired but we got it all done. So yea we have one more week of Oct. Dramas. For all of you who would like to know I get two days off for Thanks so I'm not coming home!:-{{ The next time I'll be home the
Dec 23. :-}}}
