Psalm 57

I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.

Psalm 57:9-11

I can't say enough about God's faithfulness! I have to admit that I really doubted that God would provide financially, and over the last several weeks I've spent a lot of time stressing about it. However, God is good....all the time! He is providing way beyond what I ever believed would be possible. Praise God!

May it all be to his glory!

Flights....

Well, it is official that I, Kristen, am going to El Salvador. I just purchased my airplane tickets!! Now, if only my passport would get here, I would feel sooo much better.....

In case anyone is wondering, my flight leaves on May 19th from Cleveland Hopkins at 6AM (ahh!!!) and I will arrive in San Salvador at about 11AM! June 3rd, sixteen days later I will be saying my goodbyes to my friends at Amor y Esperanza, and will head home to Cleveland...if weather is good I should be in about 10:30PM.

Im so eXcItEd!!!!!

Mauricio

Today, I went to Tertullia for Spanish class, which is basically an opportunity for people to talk in spanish. I randomly sat down with a 4 or 5 other people and was just started listening to their conversation. My friend Caitlin C, from the Chapel, asked me how my plans (referring to El Salvador) are going? I told her that everything is coming together really smoothly and that God has been so faithful to provide. Well, there happened to be a native speaker, Mauricio, sitting in the group and he asked where I was going...I told him El Salvador and he just looked at me and chuckled, so I figured that I'd ask and find out where he is from...and what do you know--Mauricio is from EL SALVADOR! Long story short--later in conversation we found out that Mauricio lives 10 minutes from Nejapa (the city to which Im traveling!) HOW CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

This just reminds me that I serve a great God, and a God that really is involved in the little details.

All praise and Glory be to GOD!

One Month : )

Hola

Since I've been blogging for spanish class, I figured it was time to turn this space into something useful. Over the next month, I hope to keep everyone updated on El Salvador...everything from flights, fundraising, exciting information and of course daily reflections of my time in El Salvador.

I'm so excited and cant even believe that I have this opportunity to go and spend 2.5 weeks at Amor y Esperanza!!!!

Much Love,

Kristen
