Well here is a quick update since I have had a hard time writing on here each week. We have now had four weeks with One Way Youth Ministries. Tonight was our fourth meeting and we had 25 students. We have increased every week and are encouraged with how fast it is growing. Next week we are having a BBQ and I am planning to preach my first message in Spanish. Please keep that in your prayers. I am pretty nervous just thinking about it. Work at the school has been getting better each week. I am really seeing some improvement in some of the students and it is encouraging.
This week I started with a new ministry. Mitch had heard about a team practicing at the local stadium and mentioned how we needed to meet the coach. So last Saturday we went by the field and were able to meet the coach. We found out that he doesn't have a team, but that he runs a baseball school. In the morning he does hitting and defense, and in the afternoon he does pitching. It just so happened that I get out of school at 3pm and he begins his pitching workouts at 4pm. This week I was able to go over to the field after school and help him with his pitcher workouts. He even wants me to start working with some of the pitchers and giving my opinion. It has been so nice being on a baseball field again.
This week I got as sick as I have been in a long time. I tried to go to work Wednesday morning after being up since 2am with stomach problems, but I only lasted an hour at work. I spent the whole day at home feeling absolutely terrible and sleeping. At times it was so bad that I could barely stand up for a period of time. God has really come through though and I am feeling almost 100% just two days later. For those of you that are praying for me here are a few requests. You can pray for continued health, One Way Ministries and my message next week, and the ability to reach the ball players at the stadium. Thank you all for your prayers and support. It really does mean a lot to me.
