Hey Everyone!
So, I have not been as faithful as I have wanted to in writing on this blog! I have a few spare minutes that I thought I would kind of summarize.
I am currently in Brownsville, TN doing a four day conference. We were in Ohio last week and I was able to have my brother and sister-in-law be my host family! It was so much fun catching up with friends and family there.
I am really enjoying traveling with Life Action. It doesn't get much better than traveling the country; meeting a lot of new people; staying in host home after host home; and most excitingly (is that a word?!) see God do His amazing work in the hearts and lives of His dear people! One of the biggest "themes" that I have seen in churches is the issue of Hurt. Hurt people hurt people. From being hurt by family members, people in our community, people in our own churches, or you name it. We have all been hurt and we have all hurt people. But the power of forgiveness is phenomenal!!
I have been able to witness this even on our own team of 30 some people. With this many people living in tight quarters and traveling in a bus, you get to see the good colors and bad colors of everyone. So, we get tons of opportunities to put into practice the things and truths that we are hearing. One thing that has hit me is that it is so freeing to keep short sin accounts with one another. And the blessing of being obedient with a right heart attitude is awesome!
Wow, I feel like I am flying through this letter and not able to put down everything I want to share. I am on a time crunch because it is Tuesday and we do a Ladies Luncheon for the women in the church and I have exactly 7 minutes before I need to go back up and clean everyones plates and tear down our stuff.
Our team has the awesome opportunity of going to El Salvador next week. We will be serving there from the 22-29. We are going to be working in an orphanage, drilling a well in a village, teaching lessons on sanitizing stuff, and ministering in a local church. Please pray that our team will really bond during this trip and that no one gets sick! We are all so excited to see what the Lord is going to do!
Well, I am down to a couple minutes, so I will close for now. I am looking forward to seeing tons of you when I come home for Christmas break. I will have a little over a month off, and I would love to get together with all of you! Let me know when is a good time for you and I can start filling my calendar :)
Your sister in Christ,
Sarah
