Hey guys!

Wow so much on my heart that I want to share! 

First I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for me specifically physically. For those of you who do not know, I spend last night (Saturday) in the hospital for a couple hours. I had some tests done and IVs. I have colitis and right now my colon is really badly inflamed. So I have a few antibiotics and instructions, I'm resting and just staying in the Villa. I ate some crackers today which is the first thing I've eaten in 3 days. I'm starting the uptrend, please pray that these medications work and that, Godwilling, my body will heal. I am so thankful to have answers to a lot of the sickness I've been feeling since I got here. I know God has awesome things up head so thank you for your prayers!!!! 

Okay so two weeks of Spanish and Bible classes down! Spanish is awesome, listening and learning for 4 hours without being able to talk or speak in English is crazy but so cool! Bible: WOW! I am a new person already! God has broken me and is molding me into His daughter that He wants me to be. 

Metro is my Saturday ministry and I already know God will be using that to stretch me and break me in so many ways the next few months. This ministry will probably have the most posts about it, which I am so excited for! 

God is continually showing me that this is all part of His plan for my life. It is not a coincidence that I am here, God had this planned before I was born that I would be here, right now, in this moment.

Some prayer requests:

- Health! For myself and the 36 other people that live in the Villa. When there's so many people in one place you can imagine the hot spot it is for bacteria and sicknesses. 

- No distractions. Please pray for all of us to focus on God and for us to be seeking Him and His Word daily! That the Devil would not have a foothold in any of our lives. This place where disciples are being equipped is a battlefield. 

- Strength, energy & wisdom on the weekends. 

- A long term prayer that a lot of us are praying here and waiting on God for: Direction for all of us as to what God is calling us into. 

God is so so so good and faithful and WORTHY to be praised! We are reading through our Bibles in chronological order. (Or what scholars have put together as kind of general idea of how it seems the Bible was written) I am stoked about that! I will post it on here just in case maybe some of you would be interested! 

My prayer for you and myself: 

Let us become more aware of Your presence, let us expierence the glory of Your goodness. 

Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

I love you all and thank God for you!!!!!
