Behold! God is doing a new thing!

Update!

This week we had Matt, Mike, and Barb (missionary family) from Cup of Hope come down to Mexico to help us build some Biosand filters. We had training day yesterday and a class of 11 comprised of members from Canyon View and Amor came out to get their hands dirty. We have been so blessed by Matt and his mom and dad. They flew out to San Diego from Colorado, stayed four days, hooked us up with a mold to use for free, unofficially adopted me, and gave us everything we need to make this dream a reality free of cost.

Also, today the board members of Amor were in the office and Scott got the chance to share with them pictures and information about the water training and some ideas we had. They got so excited that they cleared me to stay on for the rest of the year as an intern and are willing to support me almost fully so that a lot of my costs will be covered. My costs for the rest of the year are $10,000 and I have committed to raising $2,000. The rest is getting covered by the board. How good is God?!!!

I'm also moving today, tomorrow, and Sunday.

I feel like real life is starting. It hasn't all sunk in completely but it feels good. God's timing is perfect even though sometimes it seems like He's running late. I'm through the hard times finally but I wouldn't trade them for anything. I've grown to know God in the past three weeks in a way that I haven't known Him yet and could not have known Him if it weren't for a few hard times.

Bust

For those of you who still haven't heard, a giant drug bust (operation "sudden fall") finished yesterday at SDSU. The arrests were in the 90s of which about 75 were SDSU students. Six fraternities were suspended and many of their members were among those arrested.

For anyone still wondering why ADX and AGO does not allow the use of drugs and alcohol, the answer should be clear now in light of these events. This is why we must look and act so different from everyone else.

We cannot act like darkness and expect to be called light.
To warrant the name of light and Christ we must look like light and like Christ.

Props to President Weber, the DEA, and SDSU police.

Days 'til finals are over: 6

Unwaivering

Tentative training with Cup of Hope is the weekend of May 31st. No promises people just puttin' down my thoughts.

Some more support has come in. I've gotten $350.00 so far. Still need $1050 by May 15th. That's in ten days. I know God can do it. He is the king exalted high on the throne and what He wants goes. I know that He wants me at Amor so I know He will make it happen.

ADX banquet was great. I only cried a little. Way to go Jag! The place was beautiful!

Days 'til graduation: 18 short blessed days
