This week had lots of celebrations,

Hi,

This week was exciting, we had lots of fun and celebrations.

First, on Tuesday we had a celebration here in YWAM Montana, because the base was paid off, Praise God ! It is mostly a celebration of God’s faithfulness. This base is very huge and lots of houses on it, they started to buy it since June 1985.
The leaders and staffs here didn’t ask for help from outside, but different people just contributed little amount of money each month and then they got the money to pay the rest of the loans.
God is just amazing, because there are lots of stories and miracles showing how God provided this base to keep running and to finish the buildings on it.
We had this big party, when we learnt about the history of the base, lot’s of testimonies about God’s faithfulness, we had also a praise and worship time, it was really exciting.
In the evening we had also a prayer time for different people especially the leaders and people working here, the director of YWAM North America did a short sharing which was very consistent, then we had worship time again, which was the taste of what will be heaven, as we are from different nations, more than 20 countries.
It made me remembering my country, as we have some sort of those big meeting back home. The food was really delicious and we had lots of desserts.

Then we had Thanksgiving on Thursday, it was my first one in America. I heard people talking about it before but this year, God took me here and I could be part of this big tradition in the States. We went to Pete’s house (our leader), with some of my classmates, and some other people. We had plenty of food, of course we had turkey, and we had games, then watched movies, it was a relaxing time.

Then, Bob and Cathy Walker took me and two friends from India to town, we were standing on the side of the road watching the Christmas Parade in Kalispell. It was nice and cold, lots of kids and lots of different things in this city, it was at 7 in the evening. We have snow now for few days and it’s cold outside especially at night. It starts to feel Christmas over here now, as people are putting on their light in front of their house. There are lots of lights and many of those have the shapes of deer or Santa Claus. It’s nice to be out there, in the morning there is snow everywhere, all the trees become white, the houses and the cars have snow on top of them. It’s like in a dream but not real. I love snow as I am not used to it and I enjoy it because it’s something new for me. Also, during the night, we have lights everywhere, it’s wonderful.

God is blessing me over here, even if had some hard times before. I grow and God was stretching my faith. There’s no better place other than being in His hands. God is good, He is always good.
