Trip 2 - Montevideo

Another 3.5 hour trip from trout lake and we ended up in Montevideo.  A small town with a walmart, a cute downtown and lots of green grass.  This week I have a team of two girls, Jamey and Ashley :-).  We all look alike, so that is pretty funny and was confusing for the kids at the beginning of the week.  Since there were two Jamie(ey)s this week I decided to go by my middle name not to confuse the kiddos.  I shortened Elizabeth and went with Izzy.  Haha...kind of weird, but it worked.  

This week we got to stay with a couple whose children are all married.  They live in this awesome old victorian house and we each got our own room.  Their bathroom has one of those old time bath tubs...so fun!  The wife works at a mini golfing and go carting business and we got to go mini golfing and go carting as their gift to us!  It was such a blast.  I'm sad I forgot my camera.  For counselor's night out (or girls night out for us this week) we went down town to a consignment shop and then a pizza place.  After that we had some pampering time with nail polish and a foot massage thing.

The kids have been so great.  They are a younger group this week, so gearing our messages to them has been harder, but nonetheless it has been a blessing to spend time with them and love them with Jesus' love.  There are a few kids that I have just fallen in love with!  

Overall it's been a good week - I'm learning the balance between serving and resting.  Boundaries are necessary for me to take care of myself and than serve others!  Please pray for me, that I may be able to have the courage to set those boundaries and live dependent on our Father. I know that is the only way I may serve others the best.  God has been so good and will always be good.  

Thanks for listening,

Jamie
