My team is wrapping up our time in the Tenderloin district! It has been a growing experience for all of us and I am grateful for the time. It has been a privilege to serve here this month even though we did not have formal opportunities to use or teach what we learned in counseling school within the community; we did use our counseling skills/tools within our team as we encountered challenges ourselves! :) I've met some great people and seen the Lord open the eyes of my own heart in new ways, as well as open the eyes of other people hearts to his love for them.
Thank you to everyone who prayed and gave financially toward the gentleman that needed new shoes; within one day after my last blog post, I had the opportunity to ask him about his shoe size and the financial need was covered to purchase the shoes too. God is so good! The gentleman was very thankful for the shoes and said to say thank you to those that helped get them for him.
We are headed to Tacoma, Washington on June 1 to serve at the church Freedom River Outreach. That first Saturday in Tacoma, my team is hosting a morning seminar at the church, which will look similar to the teaching ministry day we did while we were still in Hawaii.

- The gentleman who needed new shoes now has them and I believe he has experience God's love and kindness toward him through my team and the staff of the YWAM base here.
- I finally have peace from the Lord to go with the team to Tacoma June 1-16th for the last two weeks of our outreach AND we are so excited that another staff from our school will also be joining us there too!
- My known outreach expenses are covered! Any funds coming in now will be used toward unexpected expenses that come up or saved to be put toward expenses that I know I will have after outreach is done.
- Great person to sublease my space in the condo where I live in Kona while I am gone on outreach.
- Outreach team unity and good communication.
- That our hearts would be sensitive and submitted to the Lord for the work He is doing in and through us in this outreach season.
- Good physical mental, emotional and spiritual health/strength to push though when it is hard...but wisdom to know when/how to rest.
