*October 18 - Mission's training! For this internship one of the great opportunities we had was to go on a missions trip...but first we had to do some training in order to maximize our experience and bless our contacts. During this weekend, we learned all about Chinese culture and what is to be expected of us. We learned that we must ALWAYS eat what they give us with a smile, whether we want to puke or we love it. We learned how important it is that we stay in communion with the Lord, even when there's not much time. And we learned the importance of community and a servant's heart. It was a really fun experience!
*October 25-November 12 - Hong Kong/China Mission's Trip! Basically our goal on this trip was to go to strategic locations in Hong Kong and China to cover the city and the nations with prayer and worship. And we did just that. We also got to minister at a couple of churches and do some street evangelism, passing out tracts. The thing that the Lord showed me was just the magnitude of what He is doing in the earth. He is truly setting up the stage for His return by uniting the church and opening doors for the Gospel to reach every tongue, tribe, and people group! We only got a small glimpse, but it was enough to make me want to give my life for this one purpose: Knowing God and making Him known! (The picture is of our group at Tienamen Square in Bejing)
*Home for Thanksgiving - this was a much needed break. It was so good to see everyone and get to share about what God is doing! (We are at Erik's hockey game in this pic!)
*December 17 - Graduation! A few weeks after Thanksgiving, I graduated from the internship with the four other interns. The Lord did so much in my heart during the internship and gave me so much direction for my life! He gave me a heart for the lost, the church, and intimacy with him. I also made some awesome friends in the community here.
*December 18-27 - Christmas Break! Another much needed break, and it was so good to see everyone. I love spending time with my family and friends. (This is pretty much one of the only pictures I took...I really should've taken more!)
*December 27-Jan 1 - Onething Conference in Kansas City! 30,000 people gathered in Kansas City to worship and receive teaching. Peoples lives were changed, and it was also very good for my own heart, as I just consecrated my heart to the Lord again. (Sorry...I don't have any pictures)
Since Onething, I've been leading worship at the prayer room and looking forward to starting classes online at Pikes Peak Community College on the 24th. My plan as of now is to pursue a degree in nursing and continue to be involved at theWall. I'm trusting that if this is the Lord's will, He will open all of the doors! God is so good in the way He leads and I am so excited about what He is doing in the earth!!!
