Oh how the time flies by! I have been having a hard time updating, and I apologize for that! SO many good things have been happening. We are in week 7 of our lecture phase- half way done with this part of the journey.. I can't believe it! We love it out here, the freak- out adjustment phase is over and we have settled into this thing of community living and schedules- and absolutely love it. Bella is outside playing with a group of girls during any free time that we have and I am happy to report that my princess girly girl is quickly becoming rough & tumble tough girl! I have been watching her grow in her faith- worshipping with all her heart, praying for her friends, and telling the homeless men downtown Salem that Jesus loves them :-) I can't put into words the feeling of joy that watching her form her on thoughts & beliefs gives me. She would be proud to tell you that she has also learned how to use a "squatty pottie"- something that we will be using often while in The Philippines.
My classes have been blowing my mind. All of our speakers have been wonderful and truly inspiring. I have been exploring everything I come across scripturally for the first time in my new(er) faith and it has brought a sense of peace and absolute amazement at the God we serve. I feel like I have a whole new perspective on who He is.. and who I am as well.. I am so excited for what is to come in the future!
Speaking of future, we depart to the Philippines in just over 4 weeks! We still need A LOT of financial help to get there, and I will be posting about that and sending updated newsletters later this week. If you would like to help at all please let me know. There is a donate button at the bottom of this page, as well as our address here @ YWAM. You can also email me at schiss.trina@gmail.com. We can't do this without you guys!
Blessings to you all...
Trina & Bella
