This is my last week of self defense training...watch out bad guys! You don't want to mess with this girl! If anyone's interested in getting some great self-defense weapons, some that were recommended to me were the Hideaway Knife and this cool Tactical Flashlight!
There was recently a SAM missions conference in Peru. I was unable to go but some of the people from the home office who were able to go re-assessed the needs on the field and my new "job description" is actually a variety of jobs: Bible and P.E. teacher at missionary kid school, abstinence teacher through Latidos de Esperanza (the crisis pregnancy center), and, still, outreach and discipleship ministry to the youth through the development of a community recreation center. I've been informed that I will have very little free time, but that's ok. They don't call it the Lord's "work" because it's easy.
To make some money until I leave, I've been working part time at the SAM home office in Fort Mill, SC, and doing some yard work and cleaning jobs on the side.
Also, I've gotten to talk a little with the two other single women I'll be rooming with when I get to Peru. One of the women blessed me so much this week by praying for me continually and then pledging $50/month for a year to my mission fund just to help get me down there sooner! Yeah, that's right...another missionary is pledging money to me out of the little savings that she has! Incredible! The other woman also is a blessing to me as I keep hearing about her contagious happy spirit and energy. Below is a picture of a baby monkey she saved and is now keeping as a pet. His name is Scott Sawyer :)
Thanks for reading, everyone, and please keep me in your prayers as I continue to prepare in faith to head to Peru very soon! God bless!
