Hola mis amigos,
Update from my time here in Uruguay-----
I can hardly believe that there is only 1 more week in March......The drought has ended, and unfortunately, there have been some huge rains creating flooding and damage to homes and crops (that survived) in some areas in the country......I just returned to the farm after spending several days in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay of about 1.7 million. I stayed at the base of YWAM...(youth with a mission)
The main reason I went was to be part of a prayer night for a 3 night/1 day festival nights with Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham. It was called "festival of Esperanza", which means festival of hope. I went to the festival last night, and there was music, some FANTASTIC Christian musicians, and then a message from Franklin presenting the Gospel of Jesus to thousands of people. The stadium was full the past 2 nights and tonight is the last night of the festival. This morning was set up specifically to reach children and there were 330 buses coming full of children from around the Country.
Please pray for these people...many of whom will hear about Jesus for the first time in their lives..... His love for them, and His desire to have a PERSONAL relationship with each of us during our lives. To understand that God is not in some far away place but wants to be with us invite Him....
Last week I spent most of it at the orphanage just helping and loving on the staff, and kids. There are 13 children there.
This week here at the farm, we will be busy harvesting sweet potatoes and will give much of them away to the orphanage and others in need. We will also squeeze in one more planting of onions and peas. The season for gargening is winding down as it is fall here. We have had baby pigs...23 of them and like all baby animals...adorable!
Thank you all for your sweet message, prayers, and support in my time here. I am growing spiritually in ways I hadn't expected.....but isn't that just like God???
Love you all,
Holly
