On the Road Again?

All day today we were unsure of what would happen with our van. In the end, we have discovered that the van is not fixed, and will not be ready for 7am tomorrow. We had many thoughts of how we would get to Portland. Our main idea was to rent a van and head down to Oregon. But we realized that it is to hard to do, especially on such short notice.

But God provided for us. The church we are staying at right now is lending us their van, so that we can get to Oregon. It is a much smaller van so we have to pack all our necessities into a small backpack each. Then we're driving to Portland. When our van is fixed and ready to go, a woman from Boise is going to drive it to Portland, and do a great van swap. She is so sweet for being willing to do that. This church has been very kind to all of us. They have provided us with houses to stay at, and food for all of our meals since we arrived. It's very sweet of them :)

Despite van troubles, we still had a good day. Me, Josh and Sam got hair cuts at a beauty school. The haircuts only cost $4 each, but the lady who drove us ended up paying for all of our haircuts. So sweet :) The other half of the team went to the mall. We also played a game called Bang. In the afternoon Sam and I handed out flyers at a local park.

This evening we did a service at the Treasure Valley Church. It went really well :) The audience was very responsive, and laughed lots and were very interactive. Afterwards I had the privilege of singing the song for the ministry time. It seemed to go well. I enjoyed being able to sing and use that as my prayer over the people. Then we transitioned into prayer time, and I got to pray with a sweet group of youth girls. It's so amazing to be able to speak truth and life into people's lives. :) But yes, the evening went very well. Now Lana and I are back at our homestay's house. We have to be up in 6 hours so we probably should go sleep.
