Outreach is just around the corner!
Hi everyone,
I am sorry that it has been so long since my last update. Things have definatly been getting a little crazy around here. I just got back from spain on sunday. It was beautiful; I loved it very much. It was such a blessing to get to spend the weekend there. This week we have a really cool toopic; it is identity and calling. The speaker is wonderful! This is our last topic before outreach preparatin, which is so crazy. I am very excied though! Things are going really well here, infact I have some new details.
I will be in London over christmas time. We will be working with an organization called Earls Court. We will be serving the homeless christmas dinner all week. It wil be a good chance to get to minister to them and really show them love over Christmas. After that we will have a few days off just to rest and prepare for Bolivia. We leave London on January
7th. We ahve a nine and a half hour flight to miami, then a six hour layover, then another nine hour flight to Bolivia. That is 24 hours of strait traveling. While we are in Bolivia, we will be spending most of our time with youth at the local boys and girls home. We will also be going inot the rural area to build wells and doing other practical things. Our schedule is completly packed, but it is going to be wonderful. Our total cost for outreach is 2000 british puonds, which is about $3500. it is alot of money, but we are al relying on God to provide the money. I have most all of my money except a little bit. I actually had a bit of an accident and spilled tea on my friends macbook computer. I took full responcibilty and helped her pay for a new computer. that did put me back a little bit, but I am praying for God to just provide.
Thank you all so much for your coninued support. This experience has been amazing and I have learned so much. I really appreciate all that you guys have done for me. Mery Christmas and i can't wait to see everyone when I get back. I will write again soon!
Love, Margaret

Bolivia!!!!
Hi everyone! I found out today that I will be going to Bolivia. We are going to be doing lots of different things. Some of the things that we are going to be doing are: evangelism, mercy ministry, running a bible study at local churches, helping out with the youth at local churches and much more. I am really excited. We will be leaving England at the end of December. I will be spending Christmas in London, helping a local organization called Earls court. They feed and house the homeless on Christmas. We are all really excited about having the opportunity to be apart of this. Also, they have split out teams up onto two groups, so there are seven of us that will be going to Bolivia. We are all so excited and we are spending this week to began to prepare for outreach and learn about the cultures that we will be going to . I will keep everyone updated!!
God Bless, Margaret

South America!
HEY!! Today we found out where we will be going on outreach! We will be going to South America. We are splitting up into two teams. One team is going to Bolivia and one team will be going to Brazil. I am not sure which team I will be on yet. I need to pray and ask God where he wants me to go. We will be going to South America in early January, but first we will be spending Christmas in London with the homeless. There is a ministry up there that my base usually participates in every year. I do not know a lot of detail yet, but I have learned that my outreach will be more expensive than expected. The price for going where we are is about one thousand dollars more than what we had origanally planned, so I would really appreciate any extra help money wise. Thank you guys sooo much for your prayers. I am so excited to finaly know where we will be going!! I am ready to go now!!
God Bless, Margaret

Half way through lecture phase!!
Hi everyone! Things are going great here. i am happy to say that I am feeling much better. I went to the doctor and got some blood drawn. All my tests came back normal, so it was a huge blessing! In other news, we just finised the DNA conference. It was crazy, the founder of youth was a mission was here and i will posting the picture i took with him soon! It was realy cool to have him come and talk to us. This week are topic is spiritual warfare. It is very good, but also a little draining.
This weekend we have our first long weekend and I am looking foward to just relaxing around the lodge! Also, me and three of my friends are going to spain for our second long weekend! I am so excited one of my friends is from Spain, so we are going to tay with her family. It is only about one hundred and thirty dollars round trip, so I could pass up the offer.
We still do not know where we are ging for our outrach yet. We are all just trustion that God has a plan and everything will work out fine. I know that we would all appreciate your prayers. as soon as I know, I will let all of ya'll know! Thank ya'll so much for your love and support!
Love, Margaret
P.S. My friend and roomate, Bethany, says hello to everyone and she could also use your prayers, because she has just sprained her ankle and maybe knee. Thanks!!

The past week and our outreach trip!!
Hello everyone,
Things have been going great for me. I am settling in well here. We have just finished our third week and are beginning our fourth. It is hard to imagine that I have already been here three weeks. Last week we studied the nature and character of God. It was such a great week and we had a wonderful speaker. Maged, our base leader here, was our speaker. We talked about who god is and what that means to us. Also, we learned about God as our father. The week was a real blessing for me as I had the chance to explore how God loves me and that I hve a spacific reason for being here. LAst week was also a little hard, because i have been struggling with being home sick. I have really had to reay on God and trust that he has a plan for me.
This weekend we went on our fist small outreach trip!!! We went up to York, a town north of where I am living. We had a very busy, but awesome weekend. On friday, we went late night evangelising in the streets. This was new to me, but it was realy cool. Saturday, we went into Leeds, which is the third biggest city in England, and prayed over the city. The people that we were staying with is starting a YWAM base in leeds, so we got to really pray over them and see what they are all about. I really enjoyed Leeds. . . it was beautiful! On sunday, we gave some tlc to a much needed yard! it was such a great weekend and it got me so excited to go out and do our outreach phase!
Just an update. . . we have started to pray into where God wants us to go for outreach, but we are not sure yet. Your prayers would be most appreciated as we are trying to listen to what God is telling us! Thank ya'll all so much for your love and continuos support. I could not do it with out you guys! God Bless everyone and i would ove to hear from ya'll. My address is on the blog!! :)
Love,
Margaret
