I just realized that somehow all of my last blog didn't get posted. Sorry. Hopefully y'all got the picture of what i was saying. Haha.

We are continuing to have open doors with several of our students over here. The two sisters that i have mentioned several times are proving to be proabably the most interested students that we have. Every class we have with them (we have class with them 3 times a week) they have some kind of new question or we are able to get into some kind of good conversation. This is so exciting! On Monday we had a class where we talked about music and i specifically chose a few songs to listen to that i thought would bring up some good conversations. We listened to the song "New" by Bethany Dillon; they loved the song, but were kind of confused by the lyrics. They asked to know what the song meant. I was able to explain to them that the song was a prayer, that she was thanking God for making her new. I think they found this very interesting as they don't have this concept in their faith. They begged me to give them the song, so i'm going to tonight. Just Ask that everytime they listen to the song they will remember what it means. Their mother the other night also started asking questions and my teammate was able to engage in a really good conversation with her. This was surprising to both of us as we haven't seen any interest in her before. God is really working. We are also starting to teach a new family, and had the first class last night. We were worried that it was kind of late in the game to start a new class, but my teammate assured me last night that they are very interested in what we have to say and that even in the first class she had some great opportunities with them. This is nothing short of a miracle. Keep praying for our other two students as well.

Our d-ship group is going really well. The girls are still full of really good questions and are really interested in learning. We faced some problems with them when we had to deal with some of the stuff that happened at the sleepover we had last month, but we are beyond it now and i am really proud of them. Keep praying for them. They are putting themselves into a lot of bondage just with the stuff they put into their minds. This week we are going to talk about media, so pray that they would choose to listen to the truth instead of the lies the world gives.

Finally, just pray against discouragement for my teammate and i. Pray that we would have peace and be rested, and pray that we would be "bold enough in Him to speak as we should." I was hit the other day by the reality of Col. 1:6 over here. It is absolutely true and is being lived out before my eyes. Keep praying. You might not see the results, but you can trust that God is at work.

  1. Erin, I will be praying for your new family and for the 2 girls you are talking to. I especially pray for you and your teammate that you would get good rest and have peace. You are there for such a time as this. As always, the Kings love you!!!
