QUE BUENO!!!!

What a wonderful week. This week was the end of the semester at the English Institute I work at so,I had tons of lesson planning and preparing my kids for there final exam.Me and Myrna(sister in the above pic) were doing search work and found a deaf man. The Family was so nice. The man above has been studying for the past 2 years and insisted that we stayed for lunch with him and the family. It's so nice to meet people that have such a love for the truth. It hard to remember that he's not our brother yet. We had such spiritual convo and not to forget the food was DA BOMB!!!!! ummmmmmm. Another high lite of my week was preparing territory for my little city Tamboril. Im the only person from Sign Language hear. When Myrna and I arrived me we were assigned to work this area,find the deaf and make maps. Today the afternoon group went to Tamboril. It felt so good to have completed our assignment. Ive learned and important quality here HUMILITY. Its not about YOU!!!!! Its all about the ministry and Jehovah's will being accomplished.

This weekend was so good I honestly dont know where to start.Craig and Tonya a couple from my Spanish class invited me to there house for the weekend. They live in an area named La Vega. It's about 30 min from the city,Santiago. They've been in ASL for almost 10 years, there so much fun!!! Jeremy and Debra Mallory from Patterson Bethel are in town for the week to attend a wedding. On saturday we went to the host couples home and had wonderful association with brothers and sisters from all over. The night ended with jokes in Sign Language. Jeremy and a brother from the capiital Melki exchanged jokes. The next day we went to the meeting. It was an amazing congregation were 70 deaf were in attendence. This experience was so great for the deaf. Getting a chance to see Jeremy a brother from the Dvd's. All left spiritully up built. The day ended with a congregation party where I cn't even tell you how many people were there. There were interviews of 2 deaf sisters. One of which is a special Pioneer, a brother whose in Bethel( Ebma,both his parents are deaf) and Jeremy. It was so encouraging and I will never forget it.

Its been a while

So Ive been super dupa busy. Good busy just haven't had the time to update my blog. Today I had a breakthrough. The Watchtower today was written for me. Its amazing isn't it that Jh knows what you need when you need it. Every time you feel like you wanna throw in the towel and just give up some how some way he tells you "Its OK, I heard your prayer I got you".(not in those exact words but you get my drift)lol HE IS SOOOOO AMAZING. Lately I've been feeling down about my ministry.I didn't even think that was possible for myself. Ive loved preaching since forever but recently hit a major wall.Ive been feeling like a failure, like I cant teach,nobody understands me and at times feeling like I don't belong here. Adjusting to life in another country can raise insecurities in a person.Not knowing the language well feeling like your not making a difference, these are such strong emotions that can make you feel so down. Jh told me about myself today in the watchtower. I can do this. I am a good teacher and remembering that all I can do is plant the seed and water it. I cant feel bad if a student doesn't make progress or get so frustrated that they don't understand me completely dont beat myself up. Jh knows the heart and will draw those to him that have the right heart. Definitely a Watchtower I will never forget!!!!!!!
Life lesson learned: God is greater then our hearts.
