It would be a huge help to me if you could print it out and give it to every single person you know. I could use all the prayer and financial support I can get :) If you have trouble seeing it for any reason, email me or message me on facebook.

Time is just flying by here in Jamaica. But we found out where we are going on outreach! We're going to The Gambia, which is in West Africa. I never though I would go to Africa... so it was a surprise to me. I'm not too sure what the full details are yet... but I will update as soon as I know!

Also, next week we are doing a Jamaican outreach. We will be leaving Montego Bay and going into Kingston. Kingston is the capital of Jamaica and its where all of the industry and most of the universities are. They were saying that Montego Bay compares to Miami and Kingston compares to New York City. We will be staying at a church in the inner city and working with high schools and universities as well as doing worship and ministry in the streets. This is going to be exciting because Kingston isn't very safe... especially if you are an American. Definitely pray for protection because we will be out in the streets every day all next week. Also pray that I can do some laundry before we leave D:

Kingston, Jamaica

Best thing that happened last week: I got to sit all alone on Sunday morning and stream New Life's service live. I felt like I was at home!

Not so best thing that happened: Every Tuesday night we go out in the town and have a class that is open to the public so others can get a taste of what the DTS is like. Last Tuesday... our speaker asked me to teach the class instead of her. This was the most nerve wrecking but growing experience I have had in a long time. I guess it wasn't the worst thing that happened... because it actually went really well... but I didn't love it!

Last Friday our base hosted an event called Face Down. It was a night of worship, and it was awesome because I was able to be on the worship team. This is something I have always wanted... but have never really gotten the opportunity to do. And believe it or not, I am one of the only ones here who can play the guitar, so it worked out perfectly! I also help lead worship every Wednesday and Thursday morning.

So I have a pretty big prayer request. Most of you know Gram:


Well if not, you are definitely missing out. Anyway, we just found out the other day that they found cancer in her right lung. It is in a really tricky spot, but it hasn't spread to her whole body yet. She is making the decision this Tuesday whether or not she wants them to operate on her. And like any operation... there are no guarantees. Just pray for her protection... and for my whole family, because we are all so close to Gram.

Hurricane Tomas! Have you heard about it? Well it is headed right for us... and it is supposed to hit while we are in Kingston. It has already been causing rain and high winds here... but it is not supposed to hit fully until Thursday. I just hope it isn't too bad because this Jamaica can't handle many more storms like this.

I am still enjoying and taking advantage of every new day I spend here. I do miss the Colorado cold a little bit though. They think I am crazy for sitting in the freezer sometimes... but it reminds me of all of you :)


Well I think that is enough for this post. I don't think I will be taking my computer to Kingston... so if I don't reply to an email or something for a while that is why. 

Remember to download my support letter and let everyone you know about it! 

I love and miss you all!
