I would love to thank those of you who are praying for my
team and for how God is growing me individually- I feel it so strongly, like I
am just surrounded by a bubble of prayer and like I'm being constantly lifted
up.  I've seen God moving really
powerfully in the past week or so- we've had some cool times of being really
honest as a team, bringing things out onto the table so that they can no longer
secretly take root.  Please continue to
pray for us, that we would lay down pride and the different issues we're
struggling through so that God would have all of each one of us to work with and
mold into the men and women He wants us to be. 
This week we had the blessing of having Scott Borg, AIM staffer, come speak
to our team about character, and it was just so cool to be encouraged in traits
like perseverance, responsibility, humility, wisdom, compassion, integrity,
respect, self-control, devotion, selflessness, and courage.  We all shared one or two things we would love
to see ourselves grow in, so if you want to pray for me- please pray that God
would develop in me a lifestyle of selflessness and service, that my pride
would not puff up in me every time God starts to use me, that I would not serve
because I have something to prove but simply as an overflow of the Holy Spirit
within me. 

My time with Alejandra this week has been good, but heavy.  Please pray with me that God would give me so
much wisdom in my words to her.  Thanks for everything, friends!
