My heart is so full with excitement tonight about what the Lord is doing through the summer missionaries. They are faithfully walking through the doors that the Lord is opening for them. Yesterday I sat down with a volunteer who came to set up students in Los Angeles and as she share (with much excitement) about how well the students were doing and what an incredible team the Lord brought together, I just beamed.
I've started numerous posts about how thankful I am for my students, how proud they make me, how much I want to be in a village alongside them in ministry, but extroverted me wants to talk and tell everyone. It's harder to sit down and write about it. I don't feel like I can communicate my excitement as effectively without facial expressions. With each report from a team of students I am encouraged by them. I've never doubted their abilities or that the Lord would use them, but all the teams hit the ground running through doors that the Lord has opened.
Tomorrow I'm going to meet a team of 6 girls in Huaraz. We're not any where near the middle of the summer, but due to some IMB meetings, we're going to go ahead and get together. They are wrapping up their first week of teaching in the elementary schools and have had Bible studies in the mornings before school. I'm looking forward to being with the girls and sitting around with hot chocolate and they share stories. I have the best job in the world. This weekend I'm going to hang out with amazing students, hear about what the Lord is doing, encourage and pray for them, and take care of any logistical type things that have come up. It's just awesome.
I feel like my mind is going in a million different directions with things that I want to share and am processing through. The Lord is showing me so much through my students about Him and about me. I wish I could sit down with you and a big cup of coffee to really share about it all.
