Hi, Since my last post so much has happened! I ended up working a very short contract in Arkadelphia again. I wish I was still there! I had so much fun! I was giving Bible studies, personal health classes, and working with the young people. We also had a VBS. I moved to CA (San Diego) in the Beginning of September. It's been rough adjusting. I am enjoying classes with IONA. Right now we are studying Fundamentals. Some of the Bible study method is challenging for me to learn; but I really want to deeply know the Bible. For work I've been reading and writing reports on a fundraising book, updating our contact database, working on our newsletter, and whatever else needs done.
Last weekend we went to Upland Indonesian Church were Peter had a weekend series. The meetings were great. They were basically on being able to face family issues and then governors/ religious leaders' persecution and accusations without losing calmly trusting in Jesus. In other words overcoming selfishness and the desire to justify/ retaliate. True love and unity can only come when we are crucified daily with Christ. We can't crucify ourselves we need outside help. Our family, friends, and others God can use to refine our character.

Hi, I just got back from Kristina and Daniel's wedding (beautiful wedding!), and visiting Krystal and the family (I have the cutest nephews!). It was a great trip--exhausting too! We had some snow and I was not sure the roads were going to be ok--but they were fine. Oh yes, since I last wrote I worked with wellness Secrets for a total of four months from September through January. (I went to Honduras in December). I am back at with my parents and brother--In transition again! The most imortant thing is to make sure your IN God's will at all times. This is what God has been trying to teach me--to surrender as Jesus did before the cross--Not my will but Your will be done. And to learn to seek God's will before doing anything in my life. So be IN God's will. Keep praying.

Well yesterday I was not very sure were or when I was moving but I will be moving the second week of september to Wellness Secrets for an internship for 1-3 months. It works out perfectly because the person who is interning there currently will be leaving first week and they don't have anyone else until January. They have really be wanting me to come every time I had tried before things had not worked out because it was not God's timing. I am very excited about this. I am also very thankful for the many experiences and lessons I have had while being here. I will take much of what I have learned with me. God also gave me this time to grow closer to Him and overcome some other issues. Praise God, he always knows exactly where we should be and how long. God bless. Laurel

Hi everyone! Yes I am still Bible working. Keep praying. We have many bible study contacts who need to start making decisions soon. We are currently training the church members to do the work. They are excited about it. I'm planning on staying till the end of August and after that I am not sure. I feel that is getting close to time for me to move on but I am not sure what direction. Keep the new Arkadelphia Jounior Academy in prayer as it is to start very soon.
The signs are very convincing that Jesus is comming soon. reflect and make sure that you are right with God and then go work to save others. God bless.

Hello everyone. I am still alive but just been lost in Bible work! Arkadelphia's church is growing. Thee of my Bible study friends are being baptized this weekend. Keep praying!
