I realized as I opened this document that it has been over a month since my last post. My bad ya’ll. As I am typing I am wrapped in a blanket on the couch watching the fire I built smolder out. It has gotten cold here. It also has been raining for several days strait. The worst part is that if it were just a bit colder it would snow.
First I would like to thank everybody who is supporting me with their prayers and finances. Your contributions have changed my life. I'm serious. Also I would like to thank you for the contributions to my missions fund. I still have a good bit to go but God is faithful and I have met my first deadline. So much love there.
As far as what is happening at school it would be impossible to recount exactly what has happened here this month. So I will give you a basic overview. Supernatural ministry is the norm here. I am seeing miracles regularly. One night I prayed and saw two backs and a shoulder healed. At Sunday Night Service it is not common for whoever is speaking to call out certain ailments from injuries to desires and then see them immediately healed after the congregation circles around them and prays for them. My friend Toni was called out prayed for and has been crossing off allergies from the medical bracelet she no longer wears. The thing you might find surprising is that we don’t really here much preaching on miracles or power. Our teaching focuses primarily our identity in Christ. Once you know who you are and the power you have it just becomes normal. You spend your days chasing God and when you run into miracle opportunities you just act.
Thanksgiving was great. I friend of mine flew in from the great state of GA and we went camping in the Redwood National Forrest. It poured down rain, snowed, and the temperatures dipped below freezing. In the morning I could feel my hands or feet. We probably almost died but adventure is always worth it!
Also thanks to the best Grandma in the world! (I mean it. I’ll fight about it.) I will be coming home for Christmas and not just in my dreams, I will fly in on the 18th at around 11pm! I am so excited to hear a southern draw and talk to a boy who isn’t wearing skinny jeans. I respect the people and their style I just don’t prefer it. I am also excited to see green plants, the sun, and the beach!!! To smell the salt air is to smell heaven! (Actually heaven has a different sort of smell. It’s like incense. I smelled it the other day in worship. And no I’m sure it wasn’t hippies they hunt them in this part of California.) Any way, please feel free to call and schedule some hang out time if you like. I would love to impart what I am learning to ya’ll. (And when I say schedule I mean just call before you come over to the house:) I miss and can’t wait to see you all.
Love,
Jessica
P.S. Perny98 sorry for not calling you back. It has been mad hear. I will find some time this weekend and we will knock it out.
