Graduation

Tomorrow is graduation! Can't wait to get back and see all your lovely faces! It's been a long journey but so worth it. I would say this has been the hard but best thing I've ever done.

comming home!

heyo everyone! I'll be home in a week! crazy crazy. Thanks so much to everyone for letting me get away and clear my head and really focus on God. I can't even begin to describe how much this all meant to me. I know it was hard and I missed you all mucho. I'm going to be leaving my sandy beaches and hot sunny days and joining you all in the snowy cold soon. Look out Montana Stephy's coming back.

Kiss from God

Today we went to the mall to hang out and talked to people. It's was a cloudy and overcast day so lots of people we a little down and depressed. No one would really talk to us today and Annina and I were a little discouraged so we sat down and prayed. We asked for God to open a door for us to talk to some one. When we finished praying a man walked directly over to us and asked us where we were from. This man was so kind and generous and was a grandpa who told us about his grandchildren and how he took care of them and prayed for them often. He was so gentle to us and encouraged us with his testimony of how he didn't have a degree but how he was in government and how he just works really hard and prayed all the time. When he needed to go we asked if we could pray for him and he said yes excitedly and so we prayed. I was wondering if I should tell him how much Jesus loved him or if we should just pray for him. As my friend Annina began to pray I felt at peace like God was saying "This is one of my sheep". When we finished praying the man said "The Lord is my Shepard" =) and gently kissed us both on the cheek. It wasn't until the man had left that I realized that God just wanted us to be loved and encouraged. It felt like I had just been kissed by God. . .

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
