Hey Temple! This is Erin, though it says this post was made by Evette! (I have forgotten my password since I haven't posted an entry in quite awhile!) Chris asked me to type up a little somethin' for you all at home who are wondering what wonderful things we are up to here in Charleston. So far, this is the best M-Fuge experience I have had with the youth group, even though I am no longer a "youth". As a college student on this trip, I have had the honor of being somewhat of a leader in my small group here. I am in the creative ministry track for the first time, and wish I would have chosen this track in previous years! We have visited 3 nursing homes so far, and one city park where a children's day camp was taking place. I love working with the elderly: sitting down and talking, playing cards, and listening to their various life stories has been quite an experience! At the very first nursing home we visited, Evette and I found a man named Frank who wanted to find the truth of the gospel once and for all. We talked to him for quite awhile and at the end of our conversation, he prayed the prayer of salvation and accepted Jesus into his heart! You see, this was on my Birthday, so it was a very special moment for me. At lunch, my track group sang Happy Birthday to me and our newly born Christian brother Frank. Please pray for him as he begins his new journey in Christ. I could go on with several more stories concerning how God is working, but I will save those for when I come home. Thank you for your prayers for us this week! Wonderful God things are happening all around this city because of your obedience!
Love in Christ
