New Year, new hopes for my blog haha
hey everyone. i have to apologize, its been way to long since i have updated this blog. but now that Omar is our new coordinator, i have some motivation to fix my laziness. the new year has started and its already looking busy up until the time i plan on leaving. my ministry focus here is a young woman named Jazmin, whom i baptized in December after 3 months of studying english and also the bible. now that she is my sister in Christ, our studies in the bible focus more on application, how to live your life as a christian and after we finish that up i would like to do a series of studies on falling in love and knowing Jesus, our Savior. also, studying English with her is now a lot easier because we use the bible to study English, so im not trying to convince her anything. these English studies with her have been turning into really great Bible conversations. i know it sounds like i should be having thousands of bible studies with lots of people instead of just one, but i know that through Jazmin, God will be able to reach so many more people. also we are going to start visiting families (and hopefully studying) who came to the lense campaign that we had around Thanksgiving time. i also have a goal to turn the supply room in the church building into a multi-purpose type room, that would house a small library i would like to run, couches and chairs, coffeetable and coffeemaker, computer desks, etc. basically it would be an area where people could read, study the bible, us AIMers could have english studies there, small groups, pretty much anything where a comfortable room is needed. Well there is much more but i need to go over some things i am studying with Jazmin tonite. God bless!

hey everyone. wow im horrible at writing these, havent updated this in forever. plenty is going on here, mainly spanish for us "new" AIMers, other than that i am leading a small group every other week, trading off with our coordinator Chris Johnson. its been an awesome experience for me, not only a challenge to get into the Word more but also touching to see others who havent known Jesus realize what kind of man he really was. the past few days we have been working on a house, getting it ready for a missionary family that is moving here from Toluca Mexico. its been awesome doing some manual labor, painting, plastering and just getting the place spruced up. it seriously looked like crack house before we started working on it. whats even better is the connections we have made with the neighbors. God works through everything! well i will try and do better about updating this. thanks.
