Haha I'm here!!! I can't believe it!!! Most the time it doesn't seem real. It is nice because it isn't just a mission's trip, it is life. Most trips I've been on every min since the time you arrive is filled with ministry. This is different because we can work on our temporary homes and get to know people in the town. This first week we've pretty much been getting settled in, checking things out, and learning about the culture. We have gotten involved a little at the church with the worship team and bible studies and people are starting to get to know us. We are the first group of missionaries to be here for this amount of time so we have to set up some of our own ministries. There are some ideas, but we are kind of pioneering the way. We have also have been playing soccer with the local teenagers in the street almost every night which has been fun, and really useful in getting to know people.

God continues to be amazing! He is so good to us. I get so excited every day when it comes to my quiet time. A theme he has been teaching me is renewing my mind. So apparently since the fall of man, when we are born we began learning things from our flesh and deceptive lies of the evil one. So now that we are under the new authority of Jesus Christ and not the flesh, we have to relearn how to do everything in Christ rather than our flesh. It is not bothersome though to relearn everything. Although it is sad to realize how far off we have become, renewing my mind is the incredible part, and leads to truly living! 

Yesterday we worked at the church and cut grass with machetes and some other work. We have met some amazing people already-this is going into week two but since I haven't posted this yet I am adding some more. This week we have quiet times in the morning and a time of teaching, then working at the local church in the afternoon. We also attend bible studies for the men in the church. Sorry about not blogging very much, but our internet is limited. I think the rest of the week we will be doing a lot of work at the local church. I think that's all for now. I miss and love you all!!!
