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
