holy guacamole.

when i started this blog, i was afraid to bore you guys with a post every day because i had nothing else to do. it has been shy of 2 weeks since i last posted. as you can guess, i am finally starting to settle in here as the homesickness is less and less each day which i'm thankful for!

so my sister came to visit me and was here through the beginning of last week. i can't begin to describe what a sweet blessing that was for me. it was truly one of the best few days of my life. we experienced true new mexican food, shopped 'til we dropped, snowboarded until our bodies gave out, and watched lots and lots of chuck (this new show she has gotten me addicted to).  it was a fabulous ending to the feeling of loneliness and being homesick, transitioning to the best work week i had to date.

i am starting to fit in at work, meet new friends, and holy cow already being able to share the gospel! so prayers would be appreciated as we jumped right into revelation, and well thats no joke! today the Lord gave me peace about trying to tackle something that is impossible in 1 corinthians: 

"that by Him you were enriched in everything-in all speech and all knowledge. in this way, the     testimony about Christ was confirmed among you"

i am so excited for this opportunity (nervous as all get out) but trusting the Lord to do the work just as long as i am available to be a vessel.

on a lighter note, i think people at work like me, i have already had offers to take me to the airport, keep mia, and gotten a bag of m&m's. i'd say thats progress! :) 

the past few days have been a blessing in so many ways. since i have been gone, i have been able to cultivate a friendship with a girl in little rock that i hardly knew before i left. we have connected, and at a time in both of our lives where we could really use a friend, God provided. funny how you can meet someone, and you feel like you've been friends forever. it makes me heart so happy, and for her i am truly thankful.

my heart has been so full from all the calls, messages, etc from everyone back home. you never would know how much that stuff means until you are on the receiving end, so for that i thank you!

in the meantime, it is already time to start lining up where i am going next, (i know i can't believe it)! i have little to no concern about it because i have full trust that He will take me where i need to be. 

well, that's all i've got for now, i miss you all dearly! xoxo
