God is calling me to go home and pray. For my school, my family, Germany but mostly Japan. First I want to Disciple someone and have them disciple someone else. And I hope that my prayers will tell me the next step is. Because Germany is not the end...it is just the beginning. Philippians 3:13-14
And mom, hold me to that.
Bo, too!
The Beginning
And mom, hold me to that.

My next step is to trust God to guide my way. I will begin an LTG in my hometown and apply what I have learned to my daily breath. I will trust God to guide me through my senior year and whatever is to come.

Change myself spiritually; read books in a week from the Bible; start helping change my M field which is my high school; try and start an LTG.
CG - Dimmitt
I feel called to go back home and disciple someone and to teach kids that we don't have enough time to waste our lives. I am also going to pray if God wants me to truly goto Japan. If he does I will go but I want to go home and equip youth in my town to live the life to make disciples. I want them to know its not just for church but it needs to be the life you live out.

Today was an awesome day I got to spread quality time with my DAD. And I got to talk to someone who also spoke English. YEA! But the best part of the week wasn't just that it was learning about the harvest! Also prayerwalking, being able to saturate one area with the spirit.
MHT - Idalou
Soon and very soon. Things went great today. The father brought up the topic of being born again. Most definitely our Ugandan friend is our Ugandan brother! The father is completely awesome! Hab. 1:5
JBW - Farmersville
WOW! I don't have much to say but i can't wait to go home and practice what I've learned all week. It was awesome!
JDS - Sville
Today was great! God has taught me so much this week! I got to speak with another woman today and will try to contact the girl from the park to see about getting together tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers, but don't stop praying! God is amazing! That's all I have to say...for now! Love yall!
BMH - Frankston
I've had such an awesome week. I feel like I have learned so much. I'm so excited to come home with the wealth of knowledge that I've been equipped with this week. The best part about this experience is that it has just begun.
AM - El Paso
Well today I almost asked to someone but I didn't so yeah. Well I just prayerwalked today and wrote in my journal and just let God talk to me so this is all I did today.
MMC - Vernon
Today I hung out at the Eis shop with Matt. This morning God showed me two verses that I thought were totally awesome! They are Acts 20:22 and 24! Almost 1 day then I'm coming home! Can you believe how fast this week has flown by?
CG - Dimmitt
It was great today! God continued to bless me with people that speak English. I met another girl who spoke English which was great! I've really learned that you get as much out of life as you put into prayer. So if you want to contine to pray for me pray that I continue doing what I learned in Koeln and that Dimmitt is a country of its own.
AE - El Paso
Today we prayerwalked for most of the time. I started to play with little kids and they were funny.
DM - Sweeny
For our last site day it was super hot! At least for Germany. But God wanted me to chill out with him, so basically all day I hung out by myself. I read through 1,2, and 3 John throughout the day. Everyone should go look up 2nd John 6 because it was our themish this week. I really can't wait to get back to S. Tx cause I miss it. Mom, I love you tons and bunchies. You're awesome and there is nothing I can say to express just how much you mean to me. I love Daddy too. Well, I think this is a wonderful day to say that Germany is awesome. Love you guys. Huggles. The beginning...

Today I met a guy who could play a guitar really well, so I played with him for awhile and asked him to meet me in the same spot and time tomorrow! I can't wait.
MHT - Idalou
Again the father opened many doors and again he has made his name known! It rained and poured, learned an African spiritual song. Can't wait to share! The relationships are growing because of the father!
AM - El Paso
Well, so far I haven't talked to anyone no matter where I got, so God is telling me that he wants me for Himself or I'm just here to pray for the Germany group.
CG - Dimmitt
Thank you for praying! God moved today in a different way! I met a lady that spoke English. She had a little baby boy and three year old son. We talked about a lot of different things. Pray that she comes back out tomorrow so I can go deeper with her. Thanks for your prayers so far. Later days!
KG - Cooper
Today was a great day, at first the weather was nice and warm. We prayer walked for a couple hours. I tried to talk to a couple of people but no conversations. We had an LTG group time, which went really well with all of us girls. (I'll explain more about LTG's when I get home) Then a huge storm hit and knocked down a lot of trees and smashed some cars. A big group of us went and prayed about the situation, that example opened some doors for others to question. So God is totall answering prayers.
BMH - Frankston
Today was an interesting day. We were in the middle of a terrible storm, and we saw a tree crush a car. We learned about vintaging today. It's great when the things we learn to help and disciple others also teach you things. I am really excited about learning more about LTG's
MMC - Vernon
Today, I hung out at the eis shop most of the day...but at the beginning we had HC and then LTG it was great. At the Eis shop a humongous storm blew up. It was hailing and thundering. After the storm, we walked outside and a tree had fallen over on three cars, so after the storm, we all went and prayed for the other groups that were out!
JDS - Sville
Wow! A lot happened today! A girl from khaki and I prayer walked after the LTG times. We went into a playground that we had walked through every other day. I saw a lady and her 2 year old come right up to me and sat in my lap. We talked for a while and they had to leave. As soon as my khaki reammate and I made it back to the Eis shop, a monster downpour came! It made a mess in the area so a group of us prayed for everyone's safety. That started several conversations. We helped clean up the area and then left for dinner. Pray for us and those we talk to! Love yall! God is awesome and faithful!
AE - El Paso
We met girls today but didn't get the chance to talk with them. We saw a rainstorm and a tree fall on a car.
DM - Sweeny
Mommy go look up Ephesians 6:1-3. Tell daddy I said hey. You should email me and tell me if I can spend all my money or not. We saw a tree fall on a car! *sighs* I love Germany. Our park is awesome. Flip flops and rain don't mix. However, I love them anyways. The trip is going amazing! Acts is really neat. Everyone should go read it. I can't wait to come home because of LTG groups. (Ask me when I get home) Mom pet Pacos for me. Ecclesiastes 11:10. That's pretty awesome too. Pray for stuff that's on my heart this week. The ice cream is super duper good. Druecken means push. It's written on the doors. We had really good conversations today. Anywho I love you guys. I can't wait to see you. *huggles* The End.

God showed me that I have to be patient because the people we met yesterday promied to show up today but never did, so we didnt meet them. And we didn't meet anyone else, so I realized I need to be open and available but also patient. Maybe I'll meet someone tomorrow.
BMH - Frankston
This week God has really been teaching me patience. That everything happens in his time, and that I can trust him in everything. Thank yall for your prayers and keep me in your prayers as we finish out the week.
CG - Dimmitt
I met so many more people today. I wasn't able to get in deep with anyone because everyone I talked to only spoke German. Please continue to pray even harder. Pray that I will meet someone in English. There are so many different nationalities which keeps you on your toes. Keep praying and I'll tell you stories when I get home.
MHT - Idalou
Sup,
Today was great. The father opened the door to talk about "good" things. The guy from Uganda seems to be a brother. Also, played guitar with a Spaniard. The father has really been moving. Keep talking to the father about us.

Today was great, I actually talked to someone today! Yea! It was awesome! Even though there was a little bit of a language barrier. I had a little bit of help, thanks to my piece of paper! The verse that REALLY stood out to me was Acts 11:23. Love yall and miss yall.
JDS - S'ville
Today was much better than yesterday! It did not rain at all and I got to talk to quite a few people. THere are a lot of cool people around, but many of them dojn'jt speak English. I met a 17 year old from here that spoke English, but she was still not very fluent. Pray for me! I love yall!
KG - Cooper
Today at our site I got to talk to a lot of people but all of them were in a hurry or didn't want to talk, plus only one knew English so it was kinda difficult and frustrating. None of my conversations lasted more than two minutes. But it was a very good day. For dinner we ate Chinese food and I liked it.
DM - Sweeny
I met a lade with a puppy (mom pet Dacos today) and we talked forever. SHe is really nice. We also prayed a lot today. Everyone keep praying. The Rhine is so pretty and the view from my dorm is nice too. We are reading Acts and it's neat how God tells us to speak boldly over and over again. Make sure you guys pray for the team to be bold for God. Foolish even. Also, everyone should read Phil. 4:4-9. Keep the emails coming. It's nice to wake up to my friends and family. Mom I have a passage for you but I have to refind it. Love yalls. The end.

Today I met two people who were 23. And they were cool. We talked about American music and money and sports like soccer and hacky-sack. Anyway they will be in my prayers tonight and we're supposed to meet them same time and same place tomorrow.
AM - El Paso
He has shown me that I have to be patient in all things and I should also stop making decisions for myself and just let God take over my life. And that God will provide someone for me to talk to here in Germany. ANd that I should just wait.
MHT - Idalou
Sup,
Today was great! Spent most of the afternoon chatting and playing guitar with a guy from Uganda. We played in an ice cream shop! Pray that the father continues to open doors!

Today J, D, and me met some guys in the park and were able to start a conversation with them. They are going to meet us again tomorrow in the park. We were way excited and very encouraged by the new friends we made.
AE - El Paso
God made me see how patient I have to be to meet someone. But I tried to talk to people by saying Hi to them and it brought me to pray more about people that God can bring me to talk to. It rained a lot today we walk in the rain it was fun to do.
KG - Cooper
Today it rained a whole lot! I got soaked four times. Right when I would get dry it would rain again. It's all good though. I met a really tall bald guy today at the park when it first started raining and he told me it was my fault it was raining because I was American. The the lady, E, who owns an ice shop, ,thought me and the other TL were married. Yea so not, anyways God is totally teaching me about patience and His timing. I love this city. Ich liebe dich.
CG - Dimmitt
Hey once again we tried to meet people to talk today and start a relationship with, but I didn't meet anyone. I am just going to follow God on this and let him giuide me the whole way. Please pray that he leads me to the right person. Also pray that God just gives me patience to wait for a person that He has in store for me, but praise the Lord because God is using other people here for amazing things.
DM - Sweeny
We met this German Italian guy who we talked to for 30ish minutes. We are supposed to meet with him tomorrow. Our intern guy's name is the same as mine. Everyone should go read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8...go..now. Yay! Ok, anyways, my feet are cold and wet. Noo! Anyways, I really like emails. If you guys email me that be super uber awesome. Anywho, I love yalls have a good day! Huggles. The end.
MMC - Vernon
Today was our sowing day, but I didn't meet anybody. Mostly because it rained, and nobody was outside! I can't wait to get out tomorrow. It's so great here! I'm learnin a lot. I'm leaving to be patient and wait on God! Love y'all!
JDS - S'ville
Today was our day of sowing. We prayerwalked our area until God led us to someone to talk to. It rained (super hard) off and on throughout the afternoon, so many people went inside. I am soaking wet now, but it was still a good day. We talked to a few girls, but they said the did not have time to talk. It was fun to walk around and chat a little with people here. Hope y'all are doin' great! Love y'all!
MT - Idalou
Sup,

Father showed me a lot of cool stuff today. Acts 4:20 is an awesome verse that Father showed me today. He also taught me how to PR for a long period of time.
CG - Dimmitt
We PR walked for hours today and He taught me how to PR constantly about everything. It's great to PR to the Father about everything...like a man riding his bike down the road. I've learned PR is a powerful tool and to be able to sow, first you have to plow. You plow using PR and sometimes plowing can take 5 hrs. Love you guys
JBW - Farmersville
Today we PR walked for 5hrs and I really learned how to be patient, because I am not a patient person. But now after having to walk and PR for 5 hrs he really taught me a lot that I can look forward to PRing. Today the city of Cologne was full of PR.
AM - El Paso
Father taught me that PRing is a powerful tool and that we should be in constant PR to be filled with the Holy Spirit always. And it was pretty fun PRing for 5 hrs and seeing a part of Cologne.
BMH - Frankston
Today has been amazing! Father has really broke my heart for the people of Cologne. I have also leanred how important PRing is, and how trying something new can be such a blessing.
JDS - Stephenville
Today we PR walked through our outreach area and saw some of the people we will be talking to this week. It is very diverse and much different from America! This trip has affirmed my call to M work for me! Father has shown me many verses concerning spreading his word all over the world (ex. Isaiah 6:11-13). Continue to PR! Father will be faithful this week! Love y'all lots!
KG - Cooper
This place is awesome, I love this city! Father has been showing me so much here. How to be patient, humble and to rely on Him, for everything; not just the trouble I get into, or if I want things, but ALL things. And that He will always provide for me. Today we PR walked for four hours. At first I wasn't real sure about the whole 4hr thing, but Father totally spoke to me about things I would have never thought of if I had just been inside.
DM - Sweeny
Acts 4:20
Father taught me to tell because how can we not?! I actually understand a small bit of German. The people are so friendly, deep roots are so amazing.
Acts 5:38-39
So that just makes me giggly happy. It rained all day. All wet feet. Oh yeah, I love you guyses. Bedding is so good too. I want pumas! The end. Yay!

I have learned to pop my bubble and to try to learn more languages. Now I know why I am here is to light the world with stars. Also, that we need to go out there and talk with no German language and not be afraid.

We got to walk/ride buses around Koln all day to get to know the town and combat jet lag! The city is gorgeous and the people here are incredibly diverse. Tomorrow we will find out the area of the cit in which we will be working. I can't wait to see what Father will do here! Please continue to PR for us! I miss you all, but I know this week will be great! Love yall!
