Tomorrow's the day I've been anticipating for the last eleven months! Kelly Causin and I will be flying out of San Angelo at 11:00 A.M. and going through Dallas, Miami, Lima, before we arrive in Cajamarca. It will be a long day of traveling, but hopefully enough time for me to brush up on some Spanish!
This morning, I was blessed by my youth minister Bobby Catt's prayer commissioning at First Baptist (and Tom Martin stood beside me). It finally hit me...I'm actually leaving the country for nearly two months!
I will be teaching English at Monte Sion Elementary School daily (1st grade through 9th) as well as occasionally helping the teachers there with their English, helping the missionary Sean Heath in teaching English to college students/young adults weekly, and doing a fitness class and Bible study with kids at Monte Sion Church on Sunday mornings. Other than that, I will be doing various other things that may be needed!
I'm hopeful and expectant for God to move and work as I simply ask for Him to use me. I can't do anything of value without Him. I'm so grateful to even be called to this place I'm so drawn to, with a culture and people I absolutely love!
I appreciate all of your prayers as I'm gone! I will need them. Love you all!
Clairrreee! I'm so excited for you! It sounds incredible. One day, truly, I will make my way to South America. Hhah For now, I'll be following your adventures online. Praying for you too. You're going to have such a good time! :)
