WHAT A GREAT MONTH!!!!!!!!!!

I really cannot overstate how amazing this month has been!! It has been filled with blessings! Some of which have the potential to change my life!!

First, and probably least of all, I bought a truck!!! As you may know this is something that I have been praying about and asking all of you to pray about as well. God has heard and answered those prayers with a great blessing. While we were looking for trucks and finding out how much I was going to have to spend, it became obvious that I did not have enough money to buy a reliable truck. Of course I would be able to buy something, but it was going to have to be older and much less reliable than I would like. And then we stumbled upon the perfect situation. We met a guy that needed money quickly to pay off a debt, and he had a truck he was willing to sell to pay off this debt. He was asking much less than he could have received had he had the time to wait for the right buyer. In the end I bought a 2001 Ford Ranger for the price of trucks that were 3-4 years older and in much worse condition!!! Thank you Lord for looking out for little ole me, and thank you all for praying!!

Because of the truck purchase, and other future plans, I have had to wait a bit longer to rent an apartment and move out on my own. The way renting works here you have to pay 3 months rent as a deposit. With the truck purchase I simply didn't have enough money to be able to do that and furnish the apartment and pay bills. Recently I started looking around for potential apartments just to get an idea of how much I will be paying. It was then that I found out that some American friends here were renting a house that had a one bedroom apartment they were not using. I am meeting with them tonight to talk about the potential of me moving in!!! God could be working out another potential problem, please pray that this would be a good fit for us all!!

Finally, some even better news!!! I met a girl!!! Actually I met her back in Costa Rica, while I was at language school and failed to really talk to her, but recently we have grown very close. Communicating via skype, we have formed a very close friendship!! She is a very beautiful and amazing woman that I will hopefully be able to visit in October. I share this for a couple of reasons. First, I can't hold it in!! If I don't share this joy inside me, it's gonna burst out of me (kinda like it's doing now)!! Secondly, I try to invite you all into my life and ministry as much as I can. So please pray for me and Jonesi as we begin to figure out where God is leading us both.

Until next time,
God Bless!!!
