Creatively seeking

Tuesday night is prayer service at the church. When we arrived there were already about 70 people all praying out loud. When it was time for Pastor Martin to speak he introduced me. I came up front and told a little about myself. Then everyone prayed for me. All out loud with their arms stretched towards me. It was powerful and overwhelming.

Another pastor gave the message and Martin interpreted some as he sat beside me. The pastor talked about the will of God. He said it’s the sweetest place you can be. Not the easiest, but you will have joy. It was so confirming in what I am doing here.

Ok more day to day things… I have not eaten any rice or beans yet. I’ve eaten some things that I didn’t know what was in them but everything has been delicious. I live in a house of all women. Martin and his family live across the street. That’s the only place we have walked to so far. We take a car to the church and the store. There is usually electricity during the evening into night. But don’t plan your schedule around it. I was taking a shower and the lights went out. That probably won’t be the last time it happens.

The house is a concrete building with an entryway, dining room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. There is a TV in the entry way. A dining room table, refrigerator, books, and dishes in the dining room. I have a bed, chair, fan, and night stand in my room. On the back patio is where they cook the food on a fire and wash the dishes. My door locks, the front door locks, and the gate locks.

Prayers:

Praise God for bringing me here! For safety, no sickness, and smooth travels!
Pray I ask questions so I can learn more.
Pray that I am seeking the Holy Spirit and staying in the Word every day.
Pray that I go to God first in every situation.
