This week has been hard and good at the same time. I have had a hard time staying focus, but God is not giving up on me. It has been good because I have had a great time being with the children this time around. It has been a great time laughing, and playing soccer with the children. The children call me Santa Clause...haha. Even some of the little girls have called me fat and told me that I need to jog around GSF every day..haha. Gotta love children and their sense of humor. Yesterday, was my first time meeting with the teenagers. We met in a small hut that used to be a classroom. I belive it was a good time to talk and hang out with them. We talked about their dreams and what they wanted to be. I wish that everyone could meet these teenagers. They have so much potential and some of them are oblivious and clueless to the idea that God could even use them. We are going to meet 3 days a week for 1 hour. I am going to try to use some things out of the Word of Life book, however, we shall see how that goes. The children/teenagers have been on holiday since Novemember and some of them do not even want to use their minds.

A couple of days ago, I e-mailed Jamie and told her that I feel the spiritual attack here more than the states. Satan is trying to distract me with some things from my past. However, I am not going to give up. I have realized that I am WARRIOR of Jesus Christ! One thing I am learning is that it is God who can only be my strength, stastify all of my desires, and be there for me when there is no one else. It is God who never leaves me at all! I am sorry this post is short and all over the place. I just wanted inform my professor, Matt Rawlins that I am actually doing things at GSF. I will try to write more later on next week and will make sure that things are not all over the place. I have so much on my mind right now.
