Thank you all so much for praying for me during these past couple months, they have made a huge difference in my life! Two weeks after I was discharged from the hospital last month, I had a chest x-ray that revealed a dramatic improvement in my lungs! At this rate of recovery, I should be fully clear of infection by late July or August. If not, then I will be on meds for a year. Once the infection is cleared, my lung scarring and lesions should heal soon after. As of now, I feel fine except for feeling tired all the time and needing to regain 20 pounds. Thankfully, I am off the medicine where I have to watch what I eat. Thank you all again for praying for me, it is humbling to think about y’all lifting me up to the Lord in prayer.
Aside from my health, I have several exciting things to share! Tiffany and I signed the contract for our Wedding Venue! We will be getting married on March 16th, 2023. Additionally, I have finally decided on an internship location. I am planning on leaving for New York City around August to intern with two missionaries. This next year is going to be a very exciting, yet challenging year. I am looking forward to seeing how God provides for both my wedding and my internship.
This past month has been very exciting at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church! We have been preparing all month to start back small groups today. Additionally, we have restarted weekly bus visitation and outreach. Our first week of visitation was very fruitful! The previous week, the bus run 7 people. The Sunday after our visitation, the bus ran 20 people, including 1 new person. Our short term goal is to reach 30 riders attending faithfully by the time I finish my internship in May. Please be in prayer for the seeds planted every Saturday outreach. Also, I visited the Muslim family again, and it was made very clear that I was not welcome to come back. It breaks my heart, but my only option at this point is to move on and pray for the seeds planted to be watered and given the increase.
I have been able to share the Gospel and discuss the Bible with several people at work during my break! Please pray for them to get saved and grow in their faith.
