Hello! I'm getting ready to head out to go to TNT but I thought a quick update would be fun!
Monday's Inductive was over the Application part of the study. I really like how what we learn can be used so specifically and how the same verse can apply to 150 different people in 150 different ways!
Tuesday was our D-Group time. LOVE this time! We went over our 2 Timothy study and also the Pursuit of God chapter. Then we went to World Prayer. Our topic this week was Animism, and specifically the tribal people. It was cool to learn about their culture and beliefs and it wasn't at all what I expected. Typically, they do believe in one God but they believe in spirits and that the spirits are the ones that are in charge of everything. These people live in constant fear that they might anger the spirits and what they will have to do to restore the balance.
Wednesday we were asked to dinner by the team leader and staff guys. It was an early celebration for Kelsey's birthday! They cooked us dinner and we just got to spend time getting to know them. They all had so much insight and wisdom to share because they have all been to several summer projects before. It was great to have time to fellowship and just hear what advice they had. They were also pretty goofy so we had some good laughs! Then after dinner Liz, Shelby and I went to Vanesa's house. She's one of my coworkers at Old Time Pottery. We watched the Book of Eli (it was a GREAT movie, if you haven't seen it!) and got to hear a little more about her testimony and where she's at spiritually. She and her nephew are coming to TNT tonight and I'm so excited for them to experience a StuMo night!!!
It's time to go but I'll hopefully have more updates soon! Until next time...

Prayer Requests:
*The tribal people who are still captive to the beliefs of Animism that people would have the courage to take the gospel to such remote and often dangerous places
*Old Time Pottery coworkers that we would be bold in sharing our faith there. I feel like the relationships with these people are at a point where I can do that and now it's just stepping up and being bold.
