Hello again!

I am back so soon; I know it is rare for me to post on my blog and now I have posted twice in two days! I figured that since I have access to the internet now, I might as well take advantage of that blessing and bless you all with great news! During this past week, I mentioned that my team and I along with a few members of the church we are working with, have been visiting homes here in the city we are living in. On Friday, as we were visiting the last houses, we had the opportunity to pray over a woman who knew who Jesus was but did not yet believe. After our prayers, she confessed with her mouth that Jesus is Lord and accepted him into her heart as her Saviour! Praise God for another child being added to his kingdom! It is truly so astounding and honouring to be God’s vessels that carry his message of salvation and hope! We also had the chance to pray for this woman’s mother, who is elderly and quite sick, and who was also deaf. I say was, because she was, as in the past she used to be deaf. But by God’s incredible healing power, she was healed and is now able to hear again! Another huge praise to God! I am just in awe of how wonderful and powerful the God that I serve is and that he wants to use me and I am an open vessel to showing his great mercy and endless love. His goodness is poured into my life every single day.

I wanted to share these two praises with you so that you may also be encouraged and be assured that good things are happening. I again want to thank you for your prayers and if there is anything I can pray for any of you reading this, please let me know!

Tomorrow I head to Uganda with the three others of my Kenyan team and we will reach Kampala tomorrow night sometime. I am sad to leave Kenya, for in this place and with these people here, I have never received such hospitality and kindness in my entire life. The host family that we stayed with and the church we worked with were so awesome and accommodating and lovely and just everything great! We have made solid friendships here, even after only one week, and it will be tough to say goodbye to the people here. Yet God has called us to different things, and I pray that I will be able to return to Kenya and visit my new friends again.

I do not know when the next time that I will have internet, but know that God is working here and that he is doing awesome things with me and my team, and it is such an adventure! :)

Love always,
Fina
