So this week marks a change in our school. We are now focused on the media portion of the school. We spend about 3 to 4 hours a day using photoshop and other tools for design. Please pray, we have many people that are first time users and we are all trying to adjust to the new programs, plus I really miss dancing and being active. But, we are learning the importance of profession design in the mission field and how being professional is important when sending a message. We all look forward to using these skill in other areas of life as well. It is amazing how much we can do to an image without having really expensive tools.

Our school is half way through, six weeks to go, and we have begun to also focus on the outreach portion. Outreach is an option for the school, but we would like to see everyone attend, this makes our team more powerful especially in our stage presence. There are several possibilities for outreach; Chile, Dominican Republic, Cuba, and possibly Haiti. We know we will be in more than one country during outreach so we will be hopefully booking flights next week. Personally I am all for Chile. I have always had a special interest in that country. I think God has a great sense of humor. Our school originally was planning to travel to Asia for outreach. I have such a passion to visit and minister in the eastern part of the world, but during prayer the Lord lead in a different direction. And funny enough most of those directions were in the Caribbean. Not that I am not super excited to be back in the Caribbean but I was hoping to see more of the world. it is so interesting where we may be taken. We all know God has big plans for us.

The Lord has granted us so much favor and power especially in the area of prayer. We have been praying for people to be healed, and it has happened, we have been praying for relationships and they are healed, we are praying for finances and we are confident the rest will come. I am learning so much about how important prayer is, especially for different countries, like America.

Being here has allowed me to see the United States from an outsiders perspective once again. I realize how many things really distract me there. Our country is so blessed and so very rich compared to the rest of the world. Not that technology is bad, but it has the potential. After not sending a text for two months I can safely say I don't miss being attached to my phone. It should be used to bless and not text about gossip. I realized how I text sometimes out of frustration instead of using it to be a way to pass along prayer or an encouraging word. I ask you, what are you using to waste time that you could be using to further God's kingdom? I know for me I am seeing all the silly idols I have in life. God honors our obedience, so maybe write a note or make someone dinner, or change the way you see the things you enjoy, how can you bless someone?

Here is a picture of our beach outside of our base. Most of our weekends are spent doing homework, but we made it a point to venture out and see more of Mexico. I had a great peace fall over me before I took this, I hope it transfers to you too.
