Water, Cool weather, and Moves

I am very behind on my blogging! Last month flew by. We had an exciting day when seven of the Indigenous students and Brennen, one of our DTS students, were baptized in the Chagres river by Rich. It was a great time where almost all of the base was able to be there. To be able to witness the moment when each of them made the public announcement that they believe in Jesus Christ and that He saved them from their sins, is a privilege. The ladies in the DTS have started a Bible study with the indigenous girls here on base that are working on finishing highschool. It has been a really cool thing to watch the ladies taking there place as examples of what it is to follow Christ. Sometimes people don´t realize thatpeople are watching us and taking our example. This past week the DTS did a week of ´Mobile Classes´. Rich taught on spiritual warfare and the students were taken to different places so they could pray and stand in the gap for cities, villages and land. The best part of being a mobile class was that we went to the province of Chiriqui where the climate is much cooler. I actually sang Christmas songs on the way up there because the coolness put me in the Christmas mood! Although a blanket of white snow will never appear there.
YWAM is hoping to start a base up Chiriqui within a year or two. Recently, Nathaniel and I moved to his parents house. It was so nice of them to offer us to live there. They were in that large house all alone. We are very excited about hot showers! :)
Please be praying that the outreach phase goes well!
