Hello from Montevideo, Uruguay.....Have been without a functioning computer for awhile and I am pleased to have it working again.
Anyway, its been a month since I last wrote and MUCH has changed. Life on the farm is quite mellow with fall here and Winter approaching....not much to do in the garden, and the girls at the orphanage are in school a good part of the day so now ......
I am doing something I never had planned, but God knew! Last month when Franklin Graham was here for the Festival of Hope, I came here into the City and stayed 3 nights here at the JUCUM (YWAM in the states), and they told me about the counseling school that was starting in a couple weeks. I then asked for a brief overview, and told them I'd pray about it and let them know the next week.....It didn't take me long in prayer time with God to know I would be going as the focus of the first 3 weeks was about dealing with your past.....About restoration and "reconstructing", so to speak. I have decided to con't. past the 3 weeks...
I don’t have any recent pictures to attach at this time as my cable to download pics is at the farm. I will get it this weekend. The picture I posted was from November when I attended school here in the City. Its called the rambla, which looks like the ocean b/c its the widest river in the world, Rio de la plata, and on the other side lies Buenos Aires, Argentina.
My original plans for this Mission, included up to 6 weeks of language immersion school….well, I am surely getting the language immersion and school both here, so I am using that money for this time. Living in community with almost 45 of us surely lets you put into practice some of the principals we are learning and growing in.
Days here are very structured with quiet time, classes, praise and worship, intercession, evangelism, chores…..all with Jesus at the center. Its hard at times to not have my freedom, so to speak…but this is a season I believe He has very intentionally placed me in. A time devoted to increasing my intimacy with Him, and a time of healing and restoration in my life.
Its difficult at times to not be able to really converse deeply with anyone due to my level of Spanish, but this too I believe is part of His plan. I need to go to Him……there are a few here that do speak some Spanish, and I will be returning to the farm some weekends to help with things there.
Anyway, just wanted to give an update of what is going on for me in this Mission Journey…..
Thank you all for your love, prayer, and the financial support many of you gave to support me in this sharing of His love and personal growth as well…blessings,
Holly

Any insights on your past that you have learned about? I am praying for healing of any deficiencies or traumatic events. Have you discovered any of those kinds of things? How about your view of God? Has that changed? In His care, -Brad-
Holly, I'm glad to hear about the counseling program, because it sounds really positive. We are all, each a mess, and when God gives us opportunity to uncover and sort some of those details, it can have great affect. Blessings and Prayers, Craig
Hey Holly! My name is Millie! I am here in Buenos Aires, Argentina with my husband Rob. I am 23 years old and we just arrived here in Buenos Aires today from Chile by bus. We have come here by land (Bus and boat) from the USA. We are from Pennsylvania. We felt God calling us to Uruguay and to go by land. That in itself is a long story however I was searching information on JUCUM Montevideo because I am praying about doing a DTS there. My husband did a DTS in Rivera in 2006. Anywho, I was searching google and your blog came up! It gave me so much joy to read your entries and I hope one day we can meet! I am on facebook too if you search this email: LovinOnGzus@aol.com, however if you want to email me, my email is Millie@messiahsmisfits.org. It would be great to hear from you! God bless you on your journey!!
