Hola from Mexico! Life has been so crazy here we haven't had a chance really to be on the computer. Plus my faithful computer finally called it quits; the temporary super-glue surgery that was performed on it in October has reached the end of its temporary life-span and my computer will no longer turn on. I will try to bring it home so maybe my files on it can be salvaged and kept, but let's have everyone praying that in the airports no one will ask me to turn it on, because it won't turn on! Hopefully no over zealous airport officials think I am trying to transport a bomb! So yeah, basically I am having to borrow computers and when we don't have any free time, people generally want to use their own computer when we do have free time. So I will say that this is probably my last update before coming home!
As for a quick update into what we have been up to lately . . . well we have done a lot of evangelism and seen a lot of people come to know Jesus, which is awesome! We also have still been working with a LOT of churches. Not this past Sunday, but the Sunday before, I preached a sermon at one of the churches . . . very interesting, but it went well. It still blows my mind that these people here invite us to preach at their churches just because we are in Mexico as missionaries! It's been great though, and God has really moved and spoken through so many of the sermons that us young people have preached. Also this past Sunday, here is some news none of you will believe! I was at this one church with Everett and one of our leaders David, and David preached the sermon. After the sermon the pastor had us come up to the front and pray for anyone who wanted prayer. After that the pastor invited us to do worship with the team, but only David went up since Everett and I (thankfully) don't play instruments. After one song David and the worship team were trying to find a song they all knew to play another song and David (the person I am no longer talking to after this night) asked them if they knew this one song called "Dios Poderoso." They were like yeah, we totally know that one, do you? He says, "No, but Leah does!" So long story short the whole church is chanting my name wanting me to go up and sing this song with the worship team, so what could I do??? I had to go up on stage! I sang "Dios Poderoso", in a microphone, in front of 75 people! Yeah . . . did I mention I am not a huge fan of David's anymore??? Oh and to make matters even more interesting, David videotaped everything! So yes, life has been super interesting and I have been far outside my comfort zone repeatedly!
As for other things we have been up to . . . we have continued to work in this one community called San Miguel and done art with kids in the community a couple of times. Art and kids . . . it was pretty much my favorite day! We have also been visiting this one orphanage and hanging out with the kids there. That one was really sad, but I still really enjoyed it! So we have done a ton of work with kids and had super amounts of fun, but also worked hard. Please keep praying for us as we endure numerous goodbyes in the coming weeks! And I will be home soon.
