this is amanda with an update. today was amazing... First of all, we got to sleep in :-) and we did devotions in the morning, which i thought was cool because it really helps me prepare for the day.
we wet to the farmers market to just hang out and invite some people to church. ont he way there, we were waiting for the max (a city train) and danielle thought some guy was pinned under the train. it was really a dummy (see image) and the firemen were doing a safety drill, but danielle didn't know that, and she gathered everyone together to pray for the dummy pinned under the train. it was really funny.
Anyway the famers market was pretty cool. there were alot of people there and lots of fresh fruits and vegitables. they had the biggest rhubarb that i have ever seen. we invited a lot of people to church. on the way home we gave some homeless people some fresh fruit cookies. i love giving them food, because they usualy realy appreciate it.
also today we finally got to painting. Alyssa, Christina, Hannah, Delane, Kendra, and i all painted room in the dor church, while thee rest of the group painted at transitional youth. so that is out of the way.
my favorite part of the day was fellow shippping at the transitional youth . every monday, wednesday and iday they have a fellowship night and we went to help serve food and hand cloths out. there are so many amaing people there! it is great to be a part of a safe place for these people where they can just be themselves and learn about god. i have alread seen god work in peoples lives.
one of the things i have come to enjoy on this trip is prayer before, i would pray for five muinets and it seemed like forever but last night i prayed fr like 20 min ad i looked at m watch and said to myself, 'it did not seem like that long.'
i love korean style praying, where everyone prays aloud all at the same time. we always pray before going out and while we are out and when we go home. its amazing.
with that in mind, spend more time in prayer enjoying everyithing that god has said to you and telling him everything that you enjoyed in thee day and dont forget to keep us in mine and pray for us,
peace out.

i am so proud of you guys!!! i have been praying for ya'll every day. not really knowing what's going on with you i have been sending Jared texts with my prayer for the day.
today my focus for you was that you could not leave that place unchanged. that the power of God would reveal Himself and you would return home understanding life has nothing to do with you.
coming across this blog and reading all you guys have been up to...it seems that is exactly what God is doing through a lot of you.
praise God and bless you guys for serving!
still on my knees for you.
