Outreach

so we are i think officially in the third week of outreach.... our fiafia night went off well with some money raised (close to 900 talas). We performed really well and the audience was very supportive.
on another note this has been a discouraging day because a decision was made by the new mentor on base that DTS students should be serving in the kitchen this week for the base, so no outreach prep, no evangelism and no fundraising. Make sense to anyone? Me neither. i already voiced my heart, which is to be reaching the people of samoa and serving the churches before leaving for australia but i have to obey my leaders. i asked malakai for half a day to get away because i feel like leaving for a ministry that will have me being active. there will always be hard times but i want to feel that after a long day of serving, not feeling as though i have to fight to reach out and connect. I believe its part of the transition of leadership but it truly makes my heart sad. please pray for me this week and for the leaders.
we have a dts team from kona hawaii here and its been great getting another view and meeting new people! about 23 people in that group including one family, one marriedcouple with baby. Good variety. check out the newer pictures on my photobucket site!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me right? Maybe this is to make me appreciate the freedom I have everyday to speak the gospel.
