Prayer requests

-I had some good time with a couple of students that I went to Ringfest with. We are meeting together for dinner on Saturday. Please pray that this time would lead to a deepening friendship and also that the night would be open to spiritual conversations.
-A Bolivian student (christian) came to house church for the first time on Saturday. I expect to spend one-on-one time with her soon, and would appreciate your prayers for that relationship to build.
-My first English lesson to some neighborhood kids will be tonight. There will obviously be a language barrier, so I am hoping that I am able to do a good job despite this.
-I am having dinner with another missionary couple here. They invited me over tomorrow night, and I am hoping that we might find some ways to serve and encourage one another.
-I think God is leading me to give a book called "The Ragamuffin Gospel" to a student that I have been spending a lot of time with. I just finished a book that she gave me to read, so I am hoping that my gesture will not seem too out of place and that the book will be received well.
-Please pray that I am able to build strong relationships with the Christians in my life here. I think that it is especially important in this place that we are able to learn to love and trust one another.

Way to go babe! A visa, a tutoring job, connections. It's fun to "watch" God work through you. I'll be praying. (I always feel dumb commenting on blogs, so know I'm reading, even if I'm not commenting:)
