Moving into Action (Already)!
Since my arrival here in VZ I have been busy already! This past weekend on Sat. 29th my missionary partner and friend Fernanda Vielma and I went to a meeting in a home far up into the mountains. I don´t think there were any other houses around them on that mountain because it was high up. ha... No there were some, but they were scattered and most of them a lot lower then where we were. On the drive up the mountain in an old beat down SUV just about stripped of everything but the seats and the steering wheel, the guy offered to me if I wanted to drive. Well- if most of you guys know me I am shy and hesitant about my self and the answers I give people a lot of times. However, if you also know me...I LOVE to DRIVE! :) So I declined at first and then he asked me a few minutes later and I said "aw...why not!" So we stopped on the mountain and exchanged seats. SARAH, ME, GOT TO DRIVE IN VENEZUELA UP A HUGE MOUNTAIN AND IT HAD BEEN ONLY ABOUT 48 HRS. I´VE BEEN IN VZ. I just thought that was awesome!
Everyone should be very proud of me. They drive crazy and the roads are so close to the edge of nothing! I still can´t believe how they trusted a young white chica like me to drive. Anyhow- Once at the home we met several people there who waiting to be taught by my partner Fernanda about missions development in their local churches. She taught two sessions and then we came back to our city of stay. Now mind you we left on this journey for the day at 5:30am in the morning and it took a few hours to get there. Then came back late that same day. While we where in the meeting Fernanda introduced me to the people and I got to say "hello" and give a short sermonette and word of encouragement. The people were greatly blessed, but that was not the end! After the last teaching Fernanda had me come back up and I sang some worship songs acapella in spanish and english. The people were brought to tears and stood up to lay hands on me seeking the Lord in prayer to use me continually while I am here the way He did that day. The people thanked me and wanted to take many pictures with me. It was a good time!
