HELLO HELLO!!

so it seems the patter has been that i don't get the chance to upload these until mondays now!! sorry all i get super busy on the weekends there is so much happening here !!

CLASSES

so classes are going super well. I was starting to get a little bit stressed with the world load we have right now, since we have a certain amount of chapters of the bible to read daily plus a book and prayer journals and we have an essay due, so coming from no schooling for two years this is starting to overwhelm me a little bit! but i am working hard and last night i just put my foot down and cracked down on my studies so it really helped i got myself caught up and i am feeling more at ease.. i know i can do anything with god's help! I am learning so much everyday in my classes though i am so excited for the remainder of this year! i can't wait to grow in wisdom and maturity in christ!! i have an awesome feeling about this year!

TRAVEL

we went to a town called chester on saturday! wow it was beautiful! it was more of a city but it was so much fun to look around there was so much history there, and there were street singers on every corner it was so much fun! there was an amazing vibe there ! and of course the shopping was amazing.. wow! but i really enjoy the saturday trips my school hosts it gives us a chance to go out of the school and see England more!

FOOD

i never want to see a potato again!! at this school we have had so many different kinds of potatoes .. i have been here 3 weeks and we eat them at every meal and we havent repeated one kind yet! they have found so many different shapes and sauces and ways to cook them! for every single meal guys!! I am  going to be a walking potato pancake when i get home!! but for some who are wondering the food is pretty much the same as home just the type of meals are different like here our lunch is the biggest and hot meal of the day and our dinner is either soup or salad or sandwiches.. and we call dinner here '' tea'' as i think i told you already our supper is hot chocolate and cookies at 9pm is what they call supper here.. its weird!

PHOTOS

i have so many photos for you all to see but i can not get wifi! when i get to town to use wifi there is so many students on it at the same time uploading i cant get enough reception! im sorry i am doing my best ill let you all know when i get them up!! :) 

MISSIONS

we had a missionary come in yesterday who is a missionary in third world countries where christians are prosecuted for there faith.. she meets with them and works with them and teaches them about god because a lot of them dont even know really anything about christianity they just believe in god but have no one to teach them more. She also helps smuggle bibles into egypt ! the fine if caught is 7 years in prison there, and her husband is on his death bed with cancer and she takes the risk of smuggling bibles to these people even though she is dealing with these things at home!! how crazy is that!! that is a faithful women of god.. she told us a few stories that i wanted to share with you all.. she met one man who was a christian and he was a christian for 19 years when she met him and he said that she was the first other christian he has ever met, and the bible she gave him was the first bible he ever read, or even seen.. he heard of jesus on the radio when he was traveling and ever since for 19 years he was faithful to god without knowing anything about him or even knowing anyone else who was a christian !! insanity.. 

she also met a women who was preaching about god on the street, she was arrested and taken in and tortured like a man ( beaten up) after she was released she went back onto the street doing the same thing.. then she was arrested again and was tortured like  a women, how only a women could be tortured .. and raped.. and she still went back onto the street to preach god's word.. and then the third time they took her in they poured acid onto one side of her face... 

needless to say a couple of weeks later the man who tortured her showed up on her door step.. she allowed him in the house and offered him TEA?? yeah.. and when they sat to have tea he said to her '' your god gave me cancer'' and what i would have done would have been GOOD!! but she said '' my god doesnt give anyone cancer'' and from there she led him to christ!! he is now a christian and working in missions no longer working as a torturer!! how amazing is that!! that is god! that this women can look into the eyes of the man who beat her, raped her , and poured acid on her face and lead him to god!! WOWOWOWOWOWOOW.... 

the lady gave us all bracelets that say believe in the right to pray and we wear them everyday and she challenged us everytime we look down and see them to pray for the prosecuted church and christians! I encourage you all to do the same !! we forget about them when we get focused on ourselves and even starving children who need prayer to but we forget easily about christians still daily loosing there lives for christ!! and we can meet anywhere and carry a bible anywhere and own one with no problems and we can easily forget that!! i sure felt convicted !! i have a bible app on my phone!! and these people have one on a micro chip that they hide in there socks ... wowo! 

MEDIA FAST

i wont be on face book for a week now, the school is hosting a media fast from everything.. reason being we have a day of prayer on friday and our principal sais that if  your mind is filled with emails and facebook when we spend the whole day praying friday our mind with trail off to those places, so we want to media fast for a week to keep our minds pure of those things and of music and what not as much as possible!! so i am cheating now to send off my blog and tell my mother im alive !! :) but after this no more computer!! 

my next weeks blog will have how it went :)
