Update

(I’ve had problems with my internet, so I’m a little late with this one.)

Letter received on Thursday – Angie sends her love and hellos. She has been busy, busy, busy. No time for idle thoughts or anything else. There is no down time. She has bathroom and kitchen duties. She absolutely loves being in the choir. She has lots and lots of questions about home, family, friends and church. She wants to hear what everybody is up to (I sense writing cramps already – but it’s good:)

Today/phone call – she said that service was “incredible”! They had one challenging song, that they kept practicing and it just wasn’t coming out. They kept practicing and today they showed up early for service to keep on practicing. She says she felt like she was losing her voice. She says, “Mom, we knew we were supposed to sing it, but it just wasn’t coming out. But then in service, o Mom, it was glorious! God came through and the worship was all to His glory.” She is being challenged by her classes. She said that they are “very deep”, and challenging, but very good – she is really enjoying them. Her child-evangelism is challenging her and pumping her up. She said the Proverbs Class is very heart-searching. The whole school had a time of fasting and prayer for our nation on Friday (love this; for such a time as this!). Angie said that there is a Joy and Peace in her heart that is overwhelming and incredible…she loves it!

Keep praying. She loves you all and asks that you pray for her to be able to come on her Christmas Break.

Phone Call

Got to talk to Angie on the phone – yeah! Thank you Jesus!!!

She, of course, sends her love to all. She misses everyone. She misses home, but is not homesick. They are extremely busy and there is no down time to be idle or time to think. However, when she does have some down time she wishes she could just call someone to hear a familiar voice, but the phone log is always taken at the “good times” or times she has available.

She is in the choir!!! She was so happy because today was their first time on stage at Sunday Service. She says, “Oh, Mom it was awesome!” She says worship is sweet and o so anointed.

She asked about everyone here, and church and so on. She is going to start “working” with kids every Friday. They were supposed to start this past Friday, but were hit with an incredible amount of rain due to the Hurricane (everyone is okay). They just got the rain and the wind.

She is getting used to the idea of writing letters, she says the hardest part is sending a letter out and having to “wait” for the response. But she enjoys every letter she gets.

Again, she sends her love, keep her in prayer, and write to her, if you can.

Letter from Pennsylvania

We finally heard from Pennsylvania - thank you Jesus!

Angie sends her love to all family and friends. She says she misses everyone TONS!!! She says she is "loving Jesus with all my heart, soul, mind and strength." She says that at times all the stuff she is learning can be overwhelming, but also good. The verse that has become her prayer is Philippians 3:10 - That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death;

She loves worship, how they all come together and worship the LORD in spirit and in truth and in unity..."these students aren't ashamed to worship God..." "...this right here in Mount Zion is all about Jesus!"..."I love it!!!"

So there you have it. My hubby and I loved hearing from Angie, but we are so incredibly thankful to Our Lord for what He is doing in her as she has heeded His Call.

Thank you all for your continual prayers.
