So much more

Hey everyone! I apologize for not keeping up on my blog. Life here in Montana is crazy! Every single day I learn something new. Its just amazing.

Since the last time I posted a lot has happened. Two weeks ago we had a man named Chris Lautsbaugh came up from South Africa and spoke about grace. I just have to say that he did the best job ever! I have never heard a better sermon on grace. He went into detail on redemption and salvation. By the end of the week I was on my face crying out to God. I didnt deserve his grace yet he gave it to me. God adopted me into his family. I am so madly in love with God even more!

Last week was an amazing week. We went on our mini outreach to Salem, Oregon. We did so much! FOr our lecture time we talked about relationships. But we did so much more! One of the jobs I did  was to walk the streets and evangelize. The other days I worked with the Union Gospel Mission, I ate lunch with the people living there. Then after that I went to the store and helped price items. It was such an amazing experience. On thursday night we all got to go to Portland to work with Under the Bridge Ministries. I have to say that this changed my view on so many things. The small groups I was in had the job to walk the street and talk to the homeless. We started walking and ran into a man who called himself Ace. He was standing on the street playing his ukulele. Next to him was a kid named Spencer. I has the opportunity to talk to Spencer. He told me a little bit of his life. The reason why he was in Portland was because he wanted to hang out with the homeless. I realized that he was not homeless. We started talking about my story and what I was doing in Portland. When I told him I was a Christian he started smiling. Now he was not a Christian but he believes in a higher power. He told me that he thinks everything is about love, and how he loves everyone no matter what. Even though this man was not a Christian I felt I met the richest man ever! He was filled with so much love and compassion for people he did not even know. After a while it was time for me to go. When we walked away from each other I realized we had spent an hour and a half talking to each other. I was so surprised i could talk that long to someone. Spencer if you are reading this I love you man and will be praying for you everyday.

On Friday we had the day off. SO I GO TO SEE MY MOM!!!! My mom drove four hours to Portland to see me! We had a fun day catching up and hanging out with each other. I loved it so much!

On Saturday are group drove back to the base. For those of you who did not know, I had the opportunity to come to Montana three months ago. There I met and became friends with the Fall DTS class. Well they are back! When we got back to the base most of the people I became friends with were there. The rest came back in a few hours later. Right now the Fall DTS is having their debriefing week. I am so happy so be able to reunite with my friends. Cant wait for them to share the stories of things that happened.


Alright! So thats all that has been happening. This week we are talking about Spiritual Warfare! So far its been really good.
