Oh yes, there is more!

Changes...

I have decided to try one-on-one instruction, as opposed to the group setting I have been in over the last month. I started my second week of it today. The hours change a little, but it presents a possible better situation. Things I loved about the group class setting: it is great learning this new language with my friends, it is good to have others to bounce ideas and questions off of, and it is good for conversation and community. BUT... I just don't know if I am learning as well as I could be. It is a little selfish to think of it this way, but our teacher teaches at the rate of the class as a collective unit, rather than my rate of learning. Obviously that is how classes go. But since we only have three months here, and that time is already half over, I just want to make sure I am utilizing my time to the max! So... I am going to be trying the one-on-one instruction. So far it is working out very well, and God has definitely used this opportunity for me to get to speak with Julissa, my teacher, about our awesome Creator!

Prayer request/ HUGE blessing...

I am so very grateful for those who are already supporting me financially. It is so important to be furthing God's kingdom while we are here on Earth. But, when I left for Peru I had raised JUST enough money to meet the minimum requirements. However, I still need about $3000 for flights back home and continued support for this venture. I have been praying about this, knowing that God is going to continue to provide in His timing, and I also posted something about it on my Facebook profile. Well... one of my monthly supporters is a Face friend of mine, and had seen my prayer request for funding. He told his church about it-- his church is also a supporter of mine-- and asked that they be praying about the situation. That night the church happened to have a man come and speak, and when he heard about what I was doing in Peru, and my need, he asked the church to donate his "payment" to me instead. When I received an email informing me of this, it brought me to tears. This man, who is a complete stranger to me, felt called to give. I just... continually am amazed at the faithfulness of others. Even though I am physically in Peru learning the language and will be planting these churches, it is EVERYONE here in faith. Without your continued prayers and support it would not be possible. God is so BIG, and it is awesome to see His children following Him!

That's all I have for now... I will try to not let two weeks pass before the next one :)
