I'm sorry for not posting in a week but life has gotten crazy in the last week!!! The AIM (Adventures in Missions) team got here on Friday and since then i have been spending a lot of time with the participants and the leaders, just hanging out, going over rules, helping them adjust, etc. It's been great to just have new people here that i can meet and just talk to, i have loved the time i have spent with them.
Now for the even more exciting news i finally visited my first leper colony!!! It was crazy because i was picturing it to be a slum but with lepers, this isn't what it's like at all. They have very small houses but they are nice, clean and some even have TVs. The one i was at is not open to evangelizing but the people are still very welcoming, they LOVE pictures and they are obsessed with my old leader Caleb from my swazi trip. The first thing they did when they found out i knew him was go and get all their pictures of him to show us. It was really cute. All in all it was a fabulous day.
Some prayer requests would be the team isn't allowed out of their house very much for safety reasons so they are all getting cabin fever, so if you could just pray that God does something with their hearts to help them understand why this rule is in place.
Pray for the leaders they must have cabin fever as well plus they have to deal with everyone else, so just that God would sustain them and use them in whatever way he wants.
These are my two big prayer requests at the moment. I will try to post again soon, and i hope everyone is having a fabulous June!!!
Love
hey Ashley! I just found your blog on facebook and was really overwhelmed that you would ask people to pray for us and our team. Thank you so much for that. It means a lot. I hope you made it back safely and that all is going well. Do you know where you're off to next?
