Vietnam with friends from a local church. (:


Friends,

Sorry for taking so long to write. While in Vietnam we were not aloud to use the net and now having some free time Ive decided it would be nice to update everyone! The DTS staff gets 10 days off after the DTS graduate to finally relax and take a breath. I unfortunately got sick for more then half of my 10 days. But the good thing was I was visiting my mom and dad and my mommy got to play her mommy role and take care of me. ( She wanted to , so I thought I would be nice and let her) Well now I sit in a little cafe in North beach, back in my lovely city of San Francisco!

Let me just say ....it feels soooo good to be back!!! Three months over seas was a little to much for me.


So I think I updated everyone pretty well with what we did in Cambodia and don't worry when I find time to upload pictures I will soon have those on here. I found one from Vietnam on Facebook. I'm really bad at uploading pictures first thing when returning into the country....haha!


Vietnam was amazing! I really enjoyed returning there, I went on MY DTS in 2009 and didn't have the best of times. But being able to go back was good. The first week and half we spent in the city of Saigon. I actually lead the team during that time. I learned allot of new things about leading. We got to do some ministry opportunities with a local church group. They were so sweet and invited us to go with them to different people houses and bless them. It was Tet which is the Vietnamese new years and so it was a huge thing for them to bring us along. We joined them with allot of things that week and also did a prayer walk around the part of the city were we stayed.


We then had two weeks in Hanoi which was amazing!!! We got to help teach English in a university and on Valentines day gave the students valentines with words we got for them from God or verses, it was really awesome that we had that opportunity in a closed country like Vietnam. We spent allot of our ministry time at that university but we also were able to hangout by Ho Kiam Lake which was near our hotel we stayed at. Some of the students made friends and connected with them on our times off or played guitar and sang worship songs. God has been doing amazing things in Vietnam and He was able to use us during that short time there to share His love to HIS people.... How wonderful that was!!!!


The DTS graduated last Thursday and even tho I was sad to say goodbye to them I know God's going to do AWESOME things with each of them. Please keep them in your prayers because they say in the next 30 days after a DTS is when it either makes or breaks you. ( not to sound mean) DTS was just a stepping stone for them and now they are on there own making decisions to have devotions or to stay on the path that they set for themselves during the last 6 months in DTS.


Well I'm so glad to be back. I'll be staying in San Francisco and working in the Ellis room ( our drop in center) during our DTS off season. I also will be going to Montana June 26- Aug 3 for a DTS equip school. This is a training school for myself so I can better learn how to lead DTS'. I was excited for the opportunity that I had in Vietnam leading for a week and half and I might have the chance to lead part of our outreach to Thailand. (: So this school will help me and I'm really excited to see what God does during this time. YAY!!!!!He is sooo good to me!!! That's everything new and exciting in my life and I'll try and put up some pictures soon from my last adventure.


GOD BLESS and thank you for everything!!!!! (:
