So I have really been struggling with finding my true place in life. I have been trying to figure out if it really matters where you are in the world, if you are truly living your life for Christ. And what exactly is the right way to live your life? How do you be a true missionary no matter where you live? Well I spent a few days praying about it and reading the Word and this is what God has showed me. "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:26-27. Those two verses really spoke to me, God has showed me so much since I have been here and now I know this is how I want to live my life. I want to help people when they are in need, the homeless, widows and orphans, there are many, many more as well. I am very excited about this! Also I have started a whole lot of new things. I have been visiting an orphanage every monday, visiting/helping a school that helps the elderly learn to read and write and exersize and all kinds of things, I also will be teaching them English starting next week. On Thursdays I am looking for a way to minister to battered women or do some form of ministry for women here in Cancun. On Fridays I am looking for some homeless people that I can bring food to or blankets and on Saturdays I am doing childrens ministry with a local pastor. I am so excited that everything is working out, God has opened so many new doors! I was able to do all of these new things last week and then we had a group come from the States, so I had to stop everything for this week. However everything will be back to normal next week!
Again thank you all for all your prayers and support.
I love you all very much, God bless
