It has been almost 6 months since coming home from CSOM, and it has been amazing. Since coming home from Mexico my life has completely changed. I have moved to Yorba Linda California, and have started my first year in Mts (Missions training school). I have been learning a lot since moving here, I am serving in the church multiple days a week learning all the aspects of running a church and it has been a blessing. I am serving in the nursery, lyrics for the sanctuary on Sundays, and even helping doing worship for our life group. The Lord has been teaching me all that it takes to run a church, but most importantly how much each role matters. All roles are equal in the eyes of God. Whether you are in ministry or not no one is greater than another. We all have our roles as a body in the church. We each have our strengths and weaknesses. We each have our gifts the Lord has given us for a reason and we must trust the plan and reason the Lord has given these gifts. 

Every Thursday we do a college outreach in Fullerton going between two different campuses. it has been a growing experience for me. It’s pushing me to get out of my comfort zone and grasp the reality of the world we live in. The colleges are full of a lot of different religious groups including some cults. One Thursday I went out and got to talk to a few people and for some reason this day I felt more scared of walking up to a stranger and asking them questions about Jesus, but I prayed that the Holy Spirit would use me and give me the strength and confidence in Christ. The Lord gave me confidence through him, I didn’t find confidence in myself but through Jesus. I had the realization that some of the people may never have heard of the gospel before, or some may have grown up in a different state or even country. Our mission field starts here right where we live. I have started helping with the social media team, and it allows me to capture the moments of others spreading the good news and others receiving the Gospel.  

Thank you all for taking the time to read this letter, i hope you enjoyed it 

if you would like to support me there are a couple of different ways, you can help support me financially, and most of all prayerfully. if you feel the Lord is guiding you to give there is a link down below, but most of all prayer is a powerful thing. So please keep me in your prayers. I will be having connection cards coming out shortly, please email me and I can send some out to you! 

God bless you
