Daughter of the King
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
Buenas Tardes! :) I had written something here, and it didn't save, so here we go again.
I have been here now for about 1 week :) Traveling went alright! My plane got cancelled and I found out at 11:30 at night, thankfully I was awake and able to switch my flight to an earlier one rather than later. So instead of waking up at 4:30 I woke up at 3:30. :) That already feels like so long ago though. We've only been here just over a week and it feels like a month, or maybe at lease 3 weeks. The days have been packed, and I guess just adjusting to a whole new schedule and new place just make the days seem longer. The first few days were full of activities for us to get to know each other better. We had a bonfire, some games, and we went on a scavenger hunt in Rosarito. They gave us a list of things to do, and we had to try and complete them in one hour. The tasks varied quite a bit, from getting a picture on a horse, serenading a random person, buying tacos and giving them to someone and praying for them, and taking a picture at an oxxo. (I can't remember all of them haha) It was super fun! The best ways to get to know people is by having to accomplish something with them. The first few days also included a lot of introducing ourselves, saying our names and where we are from, and then doing it all again about 28 times haha. This monday we started lectures. Our topic for this week was the character and Nature of God. I took lots of notes :) I do enjoy being in school. I really want to take what I learn and make that heart knowledge, not just head knowledge. I want to really know God. More and more and more. Not just know about him. He is a real. He has real thoughts. He has actions, he does stuff. He doesn't just sit in the sky. He has emotions, he feels. And he loves!!!!!!!!! And as I know him more, I know I will trust him more. And honestly these past few days I haven't felt super close to him. But tomorrow I am hoping to spend some time with him in the prayer room. So if you could pray for that :) And for patience for me :) to wait on God. An average day for me this next week will look like this: 7:00 devotions 7:30 breakfeast 8:00 bible reading in small groups 8:30 -9:30 prayer (sometimes for ourselves and sometimes for other things like the ministries here at the base, or for example on Thursday we prayed for the U.S. ) 9:30-12:30 Lecture 12:30 lunch 3:30 work duties (I will either be in the kitchen, or on the property probably watering plants, though I am not sure) 5:30 supper and then some evenings they have community events or games, sometimes there is soccer or ultimate frisbee. This first week was special though because we had orientation from 1:30 till about 4:30 where they would explain how things go around campus, the rules and guidelines. Also, every single person gave there testimony in front of the class, which was a super good way for us to get to know everyone at a deeper level right aways. :) Also, every wednesday I will be heading out into the community for local outreach, and mondays we will have our track focus. Mine is compassion and action. And yeah so that is kind of how my time looks like here in this lecture phase. I just wanted to give you some picture of what's happening. And I will try to update you soon with more stories, pictures, and stuff God's been teaching me. :)

So tomorrow is the big day! I just got back from the wonderful pool at this hotel. I haven't gone on a water slide in forever! And the pool was even heated!!
I woke up this morning quite nervous actually, I haven't been nervous really at all yet until today. Maybe cause I have kind of not really been thinking at all about what I am actually about to do tomorrow, and maybe it just hit me haha. My life is going to look a lot different in these coming months. And for a moment I remember thinking and having doubts about going to Ywam, maybe I shouldn't, I mean it's a lot easier being at home and comfortable and it also would be a lot easier going back to Guaymas/San Carlos, I know the area, I know the people and the ministries and it wouldn't be a bad thing even. But then I look back at Jesus and I remember, oh yes this is why I am doing this. He has a plan for me, I love HIM And I CAN trust him. So pray for me :) That I wouldn't worry about the small things, such as my luggage being too heavy. Cause I tend to worry about that one haha. Hola everyone! It has definitely been a long time since I have written a blog post, but it's never to late to start again. I have some news. This may be a surprise for some people, because I haven't talked about it much, and I only applied about two months ago. So I'm sorry if I never told you. But anyways :) God has called me on a new adventure. In about 2 weeks (oh my goodness, I didn't realize it was that soon) I will be leaving beautiful Manitoba and heading to San Diego, Baja California (it's called San Diego, but the base I will be staying at will be the San Antonio Campus) where I will be doing a DTS (Discipleship Training School). Which in short, is a school all about Jesus, and learning to walk in intimacy with Daddy God. I am excited to dive out of my comfort zone and experience God in ways I have never before. I am excited to grow, to be challenged, to meet people, to love people, and to be loved in return. I love Mexico, so i am super excited to go back! I am also excited to grow even more in my Spanish, because that is the most beautiful language, and I have already come so far. Thank you everyone for your prayers for me!! Thank you Blumenort Mennonite Church, I will miss you so much. And thank you Uncle Peter for always checking up on me :) I will continue to update you all what is going on in me, in my heart and all my new experiences. :) (This is also part of the school's project so I will have to make sure i update you all haha) Lots of love!
