This past Friday was the eleven month mark of me being in Venezuela!! Wow! Where has the time gone? I would like to thank God for these first 11 months here. Thanks for His protection every day. Thanks for the ability to learn and study Spanish and the knowledge for my teachers to teach me. I would also I like to give thanks for the churches here where I have been able to learn and observe the various ministries of each one. Thanks to God for blessing me with the members of theses churches and how they have received me and helped me is many ways. Thanks to God for the kids in La Ceiba that I see every Thursday, their hugs, love and joy! I have learned so much Spanish and grown in His grace. I have a ways to go in learning but these first eleven months are the foundation to the future. Excited to see what God will continue to do in and through the ministry here in Venezuela.
