The Cave....

Hey everyone.... Hope your all doing good. I just wanted to let you all know about whats new with me. I have been soooo busy lately its not even funny. The biggest change that's happen is I am no longer living in the teachers staff housing. I and Abby Schultz one of the teens here who is leaving in June for college in the states have moved into what we call the "cave". The cave is the bottom part of one of the other houses. Its a tiny apartment, I have decided to move in here with her, to help her prepare for life on her own away from her parents and everything she is used to. I believe this is one specific reason God has called me to here. I remember telling my parents awhile back i felt very lead to be able to help Abby somehow and so i figured it was with teaching but obviously God had bigger plans that goes beyond just teaching her in school, because here we are...Pretty much I'm living here with her to mentor here and help her learn how to do things on her own such as groceries, saving money, bills, ect.... Please be in prayer for me though because as great as this is, to help her and do what God wants me to... its very hard for me in particular because this house were living in has LOTS of big spiders in fact there's nests around the house that previous teachers who lived her try to bomb and kill but it didn't work...So you know me and spiders not a good combination at all. In fact last night we had a very bad night with them. the first night we had a problem or saw any since our cleaning before we moved in. We were watching a movie together when i went to get up and when i put my foot down on the floor i saw something jump. Well that something was a huge spider. Now normally i say huge for little ones, but this spider was the size of my hand...So it reallly was huge. Abby my hero, killed it with this giant flyswatter i bought. But about an hour later when we were looking to see where it might have come from , i went to our bedroom to look, saw nothing and was about to go back to the living room when i saw something move by the light switch and yepp there it was again...another one the same type but smaller... that was it, i lost it screaming and crying. It took me 2 hours of crying and almost getting sick to calm down and relax some. We ended up leaving the light on just to keep me calm. and after staying up almost all night since i was to terrified to sleep, i finally fell asleep at around 6ish this morning. I slept till like 10:45am and then started my new day, and so far so good....God willing i wont see any more spiders for quite awhile because I'm really not sure how I can handle much more of them after last night. But God kept me safe and gave me someone who will kill them so I know he's got a plan for us here and hopefully they just don't involve to many of my nightmarish friends.....I HATE SPIDERS!!!!!!! Anyways just wanted to share my news with you all, to ask for your prayers, and to let you all know how much I LOVE and MISS you. I hope God is continuing to work in your lives and blessing you daily. Please keep in touch. God Bless! Talk to you again soon.

Hey girly,
I am SOOO! proud of you. I have been reading up on your adventures in this mission and it does seem like quite a lot is going on. I know the spider thing was an issue when we talked before about you going on this mission at all. I don't particularly like the creepy crawlers myself so I can't say I'd of handled that situation any better. I continuously am thinking of you and praying for you and the ministry there. Way to go and may you continue strongly in the is ministry. (I also wonder.. can you command the spiders to leave in the name of Jesus? It works with other things. ) :)
