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.

Job: Check
Place to live: Check
Degree: Check
Friends: Check
Life: Check

Say hello to the, now, full time water project intern at Amor,

Praaaiise JESUS! And to think He knew the whole time! This reminds me of when we were in my car-I'm so proud you held onto what God told you, you knew God told you you would be working with Amor even though right then and there what was in front of you didn't add up... You couldn't see it but you KNEW!

I love you! I love you! I love you!

Kamar-
I am so excited for you. You are doing HUGE things with Amor. How great does it feel to be used by God to bless so many people? Because thats what you are doing. How awesome that the board wants to cover your expenses! Thanks for the newsletter- I'm sad I wont be able to come to Ashley's wedding. Will you please congratulate them for me?
I am having a good semester in Chile. I have learned a lot of Spanish. My classes are coming to an end, but the exciting thing is that in July, I am going to Arica (a city in the north of chile) to run a vbs for their winter break at a methodist church. I will basically be by myself, dont know how many kids there are or what the age range is, and am not completely fluent in the language...so I'm a little scared, but SO excited.
Keep me updated girl- I'm praying for you.
