The Students are HERE!

Well the students got here three days ago. My girls were anxious-excited and very tired when they arrived. They are go to school in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Their names are Erika, Riane, Liz, and Rachel. I really enjoy each of them and I am so glad the Lord put them in my group. I honestly could not have asked for a greater group of girls! Im learning alot about discipliship and being one who leads well. We had a day to share our life stories with each other after they arrived. It is so encouraging to see how God orchestrated each of our lives and brought us each together on project. Please be praying that I will learn to lead the way Christ did and challenge these girls while they're here.

We went out sharing yesterday. For one of my girls, Erikia, it was her first time to go sharing. We do surveys with people we meet on the beach. There are five different questions that que on to spiritual conversation. We talked with groups of students from Ireland, Japan, and locals here in San Diego. Alot of people were responsive to conversation, but the general concensus was an attitude of apathy about an after life and the results thereof. My growth group girls were great at engaging people even when they were nervous. They had great attitudes!

One prayer request I have is that you would please pray for my health. Ive been running low on energy and fighting sickness and health back and forth. Thanks for that! Until next time...
