November update! It's been too long.

Friends!

Geeze, I haven't written up in like, a month! Sorry guys. 

Except I'm not all the way because life has been busy up here. Plus, I won't be able to blog through the last month of outreach.

Let's see, a few awesome updates:

It snowed like crazy last night! Which called for some crazy shoveling this morning. And we're expecting some more tonight. I love snow. I love it so much. I like the cold. 

I also recently decided to cut about 6 inches from my dreads. I cut em short because so much length was just broken and fragile. When I started these dreadies, I paid a pretty lump sum to get them done professionally, with a perm. However, the perm destroyed my hair and I spent a long time and a lot of money trying to revive them. Being up here though, the air is so dry and I didn't feel like taking care of fragile dreadies. I didn't have time or energy. So now they're short and I feel like I look like Shirley Temple... I don't wanna talk about it. 

I'm excited about a package my mother is sending to me. 

I can't remember if I told you guys but I killed a chicken all by myself a few weeks ago. I'm gunna be the best post-apocalyptic wife ever. No, I didn't do it mindlessly. Or out of defense. I was trained in a well-supervised process. And it was gross. But we made our chickens into chicken gumbo for the base. Yummmm. 

This past week, we learned about oral learning and telling stories and I have to say, I rock at memorizing my shtuff! 

I don't feel like there's a whole lot more to say right now. 

Oh hey, check it out, guys! Read our final plans for outreach:

On the 6th of December, my team and I will be flying into San Francisco. We'll be there for the weekend, ministering on the streets with the YWAM base. That's one of my favorite ways to outreach. On the streets. 

After that, we'll be flying into Singapore. We'll stay there for another week before flying into Pontianak, Indonesia. 

Pontianak is on the island of Borneo. The equator runs through Pontianak! And we'll be spending 2 months there; 4 or 5 of those weeks living in the bush, in the middle of... Somewhere. Somewhere rural. 

This is going to be such an amazing, refining, beautiful adventure. 

We will be returning in late February. 

Pray for us!

Pray that each of us will have the funds to get the supplies we will need for this trip. 

Pray that God will continue to prepare out hearts for everything He has for us during this trip, from start to finish. 

Pray for safety and favor during this trip. 

Pray that we'll be able to retain the super limited Indonesian we've been trying to teach ourselves. Haha. 

And pray that above all, Jesus will be glorified and we (us and those we meet) will be brought closer to him and to each other. 

Anyhoo, thanks for reading, guys!

You guys rock. Thanks for your love and support. 

Love, 

G

 See you soon. (:
