HOT HOT HOT

Hello everyone! Just a little update. I have safely made it into Mexico. Everyone got their luggage and we had no troubles getting into the country (praise the Lord). It was over 30 degrees this morning around 9 am. So needless to say it will only get hotter. I have never sweat so much in my life. We already had an opportunity to minister to someone. As soon as we got out of the airport and we were waiting for our ride, the guys on our team pulled out their guitars and began worshiping with this Mexican guy. It was so amazing. So that is all for now I will try to keep in touch via blog as my email seems to be doing silly things. I love you all.

Off to Mexico!

I have recently returned from Michigan. My team and I have an amazing time. We did a bunch of services and talked to a lot of amazing people. God did some really awesome stuff to our team and through our team. I will have to give all the details when I come home. And at that time I will also have some awesome stories about Mexico. So I leave for Mexico on Wednesday!! Yippee I am so excited. God is going to do some amazing things.PS if you haven't heard I really badly sprained my ankle last Thursday. So you could would you please pray for me. As I am leaving for Mexico and I am still using crutches, but I can walk on it but it still really hurts.

Sorry!




Okay so I realize it has been over a month since I have last blogged. I am really sorry, I guess I should start by saying yes I am still alive! God is really amazing and been doing awesome stuff in my life and my teammates. We are getting ready to leave for stateside and things are pretty crazy down here. We have been having team meetings all week, where we are working on our program and stuff of the sort (if you need more details don't be afraid to ask) and will continue to have them until we leave on Friday. I haven't really started to pack yet, and not only do I have to pack for Michigan but also for Mexico. Pray for me would ya!
So I kinda want to brag about the weather down here, one day it got to about 90 degrees fahrenheit , (and yeah I realize I am talking American Melissa so for you that is about 30 degrees Celcius).
We found out that not only are we going to Mexico, but we also get to go to Belize for like 10 days!! Talk about exciting. I can hardly wait. God is really pushing me in areas I didn't think I would see myself going. We will probably have to give a teaching on outreach and God has given me such peace about that. Never would I think that I would have such a thing as if anyone knows me I HATE to write. And not only do we have to write it but we will have to give it in front of who knows how many people. I am sooooooooo excited.
Would you all keep me and my team in your prayers as we still need about ten thousand dollars for outreach. We are totally and completely trusting God that he will bring in the money, but prayer is always welcome. Not only for the money but just general prayer is always good. I guess just for His grace, blessing and peace would continue on me and my team. Also I'm praying for you guess back home too.

I love you all,
Megan



PS. I cut my hair!! It is pretty short. That would be Anna Catherine cutting my hair and no she is not a trained professional, just a young YWAMer.

Pictures

This one and the next two are all taken our in the forest around the base! We have some good times out there!



One afternoon some of the guys and myself went golfing and this golf course was in some guys backyard. It was one of the funnest times as the longest hole was only 119 yards. On hole 2 which is only 54 yards I teed off with a putter and made it over the green.

Hey Hey

Wow so it has been over 2 weeks since I have last blogged. So I guess I should start off by saying I am still alive. Just a little update in case you didn't know this, we are heading to Alabama tomorrow for a week. We are going for the South East Staff Conference. It is all the YWAM bases in the southeast get all together for a week. I am really excited as I get to see more of the States.
I can not believe I just finished my 7th week here. Time does sure fly when you are having fun. All sorts of crazy and fun times are happening every day here. Way to much to even try to write in one blog entry. I am excited as we just had our first team building time yesterday. Our Mexico team really is getting along wonderful and we are learning a lot about each other. We are going to have a blast!! I can hardly wait. I guess I have to get through stateside first. I am really excited about that time too. Not only because I get to go back into Canada but I love my team and we are going to see God do some amazing things through us. Well that is all I can think of to tell y'all at the moment. If you have any questions do not be afraid to leave a comment and ask!!
Love ya!!
This right here is me at a little thing I like to call pickle fest. It is what it is!!

I am so sorry that I have not given anything lately. It just seems to be so extremely busy lately. And on top of that when I was going to blog, the internet was not working. So yeah. Ok so here is the truth. So on Tuesday when I found out about Greg's car accident I had the first feeling of homesickness. I really wanted to be home with the fam. But someone gave me some really good advice. Satan knows I am here for a reason and will use anything to get me to leave or be distracted, and that feeling homesick is one of those things that he may use. So don't feel angry or upset that I don't feel homesick. I am just not letting it get to me so Satan can not attack me. Yeah this may seem a little OUT THERE for some of you but this is really how I feel. I am still having the time of my life. So I haven't really told you all on the blog here where I am going. I'm sure most of you know already but I myself am going to Mexico. I am so excited about it.!!!!!! O and for stateside mission before we go to Mexico and China. Our team is again getting split up and going to Michigan and Virgina for like 10 days or so. I am going to Michigan. This is for some strategic reasons, as I only have a visa to be in the states for 3 months ( runs out on April 5th) I have to run in to Canada and get that all fixed up. So yes I will be stepping on Canadian soil during my stay down south. I am kinda excited about that. Sure it will be in Ontario, but it is still Canada. But I got to go and sleep. I love y'all and see you in 4 months. Unless of course you get the courage to make the trek down to Tennessee and come and visit me. I am sure we can find you a place to sleep. Even if it is in the cave. Just kidding. Peace out!!
O yeah and by the way we had about an inch of snow this weekend. But it is all gone now!!

God is Good!!

I really hope this story comes out as amazing it really is. One of the girls here did not yet have all the money that she needed to pay for the lecture phase. It just so happened that her birthday is on Friday. So as a birthday gift someone came up with the idea that the class should take up a offering for her. Before class had actually started we did just that, but Brooke (the leader) did not say who the offering was for, it was just for a missionary going to China. Than this afternoon we revealed to the girl that the offering was for her and told her the amount. It was over $2500!!! And the amazing thing is that there were only about 20 people in the room. That means the average given was over $100 each. And she only needed about $1700. As I think it is in Psalms 23, God not only fills our cup but he overflows it. I just felt really compelled to tell y'all this.
Just thought you would like to see a pic of the whole group.
