Getting things done!

Well it has been two weeks since i have last blogged! Here is what I have been up to! We have been working at a Camp that we call Campamento Esperanza, which means camp hope. The first week there we   received kids from the Emmanuel orphanage. The first part of the week we had boys and last half we had girls. the second week we had boys and girls all week from the Little Lambs orphanage.
    Both groups of kids have been amazing to hang out with. Everyday we jumped on the trampoline, played soccer and kickball, played bored games, put puzzles together, made crafts, and had Bible studies! One day out of the week we make tye dye shirts and shot water balloons!
    God has really blessed my life through these kids. He has taught me way more than I have taught any of the kids. Each week is hard at the end because we have to send off the kids we just spent time getting to know. As I thought about how much I miss the kids that i may never see again, I realized something. God loves them way more than I do. He will take care of His children way better than I can. I am really glad that God used me to be a blessing in the kids lives, and every time I miss the kids it reminds me to put my faith in God, because I know He is watching over them.  
    Next week we are doing another camp for another orphanage. I am really excited. God has placed a love in my heart for these kids we are ministering to. The best thing I can do for these kids is to just show   the love that Christ shows me every day to them. I can do that through everything we do with the kids. So pray that Christ's love will pour out of me and the other leaders in the camp, because these kids need to be loved.
    As for me...Well my spanish is slowly getting better. I am not very good at using verb tenses correctly, and I often say embarrassing and non sensical things, but I am learning. I am very thankful for all of the time you guys spend praying for me. I am often a goofball around everyone, but God is molding my life and revealing His majesty and glory through these kids and the Bible. Our God is awesome, meaning awe-inspiring. He does so much for us. We are a part of His family. Romans 8 says that we can call God Abba Father. Ephesians 6 says that Christians are children of Light. We have one purpose in our lives, and that is to glorify God by serving Him completely and whole heartedly. You don't have to be in Honduras to serve God and do missions. Keep your focus on God and believe in him with your life. Romans tells us that true belief, 100% belief in God Almighty, is the first step to righteousness. This is what I have learned and have been reminded of. I love you guys. Please continue to pray fervently. God is doing some mighty things.
