Mystery Week!!!

So much to say again, and it's been less than 24 hours since I last posted! Got settled in to Airway Heights, which is near Spokane. We helped a little this morning when we arrived (at Airway Heights Baptist Church) and got lunch at this really great burger place (shaped like a milk bottle). It was one of the best meals I've had here... also because I had a nice plate of salad :) Then, we did some sightseeing in Spokane! It reminds me of Chicago somewhat...it's interesting.

We saw these falls... I forgot what exactly it was called, but it was so beautiful and right in the middle of the city (not like Yosemite falls though). We also walked through River Park Center (or that general area), and we rode in a gondola! Well, it was like a combination between a ferris wheel, a tour, and a ski lift, but it was awesome. We also ran through this huge fountain (being the tourists that we were) in the square. On our drive, we were able to see surrounding areas and such. It was a nice break, since we won't be getting one this weekend like we usually would. So tomorrow we'll be busy until around 11 pm or so, but we'll get to see fireworks (and possibly get to launch some!!). Then we go to Camp Touchet to work there (where we might also meet another summer missionary who's coming to help at camps), then Idaho and Riverside... oh what a week!

I haven't even talked about my host family! The couple I'm with is so sweet (and so is their dog!), and they were actually IMB missionaries in Brazil and have worked with NAMB, too! It was so great to listen to them tonight. But I need to go. I'm really needing sleep because I was falling asleep while in the middle of a conversation - how horrible!! But I'm so blessed to have my own room to myself!! Oh goodness, there's so much more to say but not enough energy to say it all!! Sorry... I guess I'll just have to tell you some other time or something.

Anyways, please please pray for patience and strength, that I will be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. I'm running low on fuel, and it's what happens during these times that can be most crucial as I'm serving. Please pray that I will have the right attitude as I work, and that God will continue to work in my life. I have had some low points on this trip, and it's really bringing me down (physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally - just everything). I've been a little discouraged in some areas (while I try to not show it), and I would really, really appreciate all of your prayers right now. Also for flexibility; I know that pretty much is a lesson you learn throughout the whole summer, but this week especially (which we coined as "mystery week") is so puzzling (for a lack of better terms) because we don't know what exactly we're doing as the plans keep continually changing without us knowing.

But thank you so much for following all that I've been doing, and I'm still trying to work on getting pictures up!! Until next time...
