Emulation and Implementation

Carla was recomended to us by Mercedes. Mercedes is a Paraguayan. She currently lives in Colorado with her husband, Will Smith. She and Carla met in Ft. Worth, Tx where they both worked in the Latin and womens ministry.

Those are the 2 words that I have tied to the experience of Carlas and Merecedes visit.
Carla spoke to 70 women at the Seminar, 30 of which were visiters. Not to long after the seminar had ended a women came to Carla wishing to be study and be baptized.

Carla has touched me personally, as she has to countless other women, and has encouraged me directly in the words she has shared with me and indirectly through the work shes done in these past two weeks. There are not very many times where one can be touched so deeply by the force and sencerity by which God sends His messengers.
I derive much wisdom and strength by watching strong Christian Latin women in the church and on the mission field. I only hope to be able to emulate the many things I've witnessed as I try to be a Strong Christian Latin Women myself.

Carla is very sweet and extremely encouraging with her words. She is able to make you feel so awesome about yourself by telling and showing you how much God truely loves you.
Throughout life and especially on the mission field, for me anyways, we find outselves praying out of fear instead of gratitude, hoping we are fullfiling Gods will. We all know fear is the opposite of love. Without love we do not have God.
My mother often recites this particular verse to me, when Im not sure or doubt is looking like its creeping its way up.
II Timothy 1:7
"For God did not give us a spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and of sound mind"

There is so much more to write but so little time. I am currenly sitting in Carlas and Mercedes hotel room. They love to pamper people. They let Brittnea and I spend a night with them at the Sheraton Hotel, which is like theeeeee hotel. I love hotels. They are all eating breakfast at the moment. I decided to wait here until they return, since im a little under the weather and just thought to rest a little bit longer. Im glad tho, it has given me time to update my blog to share and spread all the wonderfullness I have experienced lately!

Pictures to come soon!
