Springdale, AR

Right after PEAK in Tulsa, OK we drove to Springdale, AR to preach for the Walters! Now I had never been to this church before so I had no idea what to expect! To my surprise this church was like a mini mission field!! Most of the church is filled with "Marshallese" people! They have migrated from their islands into only a few parts of the US!


Preaching the Word! Some of the older Marshallese don't understand English but they sure felt the power of God!!!!:)


Lady seeking the Holy Ghost!



They have only had this missions work for several years & have quite a full house!!



It was so beautiful to watch them worship!


I fell in love with this group of girls!! They love church & are ones that can speak English fluently!


Worship service Sunday morning! (I couldn't get the whole building in the picture. The boys & men mostly sat off to the right.)


Their music was soooo COOL!!! It sort of reminded me of hawaiian tunes mixed with Elvis? Haha! But it was so awesome to sing some of our same songs in their own language!



FABULOUS drummer! Omw they play so neat!


We also had a few baptisms & people praying through! It was amazing!


I tried to get all my buddies to take a picture after church:) (most of them their mothers/grandmothers make their outfits! So bright & colorful!)



"Likatu"! One word I learned!!:D it means "beautiful girl" I think!



Sweeties!


Mom chillin!:))



Talkingg....*yawn*



Joel & Jacob Walter!!



A really near decoration Sis. Walter had in her house that the Marshallese make out of tiny shells!

The next day we went out on the lake with the Walters & their grandkids from OR(more in a future post!:D)!


Mom & Sis Walter getting ready to go!



Eek...rather frightening riding double on a jet skii!:-o but soooo much fun!!!



Great day on the lake!:)



The family all frazzled looking after a long but fun day!!:)

I loved visiting the Walters & getting to be apart of their church! I would encourage any young person that wants to do a missions trip but cannot afford to go out of the Country to visit here! It truly is a mission field!

Pray for
The Marshallese!

Yes!! this is a story to be told lol!! Do not mess with Cassia!!:D Let's just say he ended up having whipped all over his face & down his suit.....oops:-/ lol




Ready for my graduation Thursday night:)

Graduation was a huuuuge thing for me! It has taken many hours & long nights to achieve this goal! For many of you who may not have known, I spent 9-10 months in an online course! I learned about the bible, leadership, character development, working with cultures, & our apostolic doctrine & SO much more! I will tell you that every day I spent studying & working to obtain this diploma was worth it all & I would do it all over again if I could! Every step of this journey my family has been supportive & God has worked out one miracle after another!! He has blessed me beyond measure since I chose to do Hope Corps & gave my life to it & the ministry! I know greater things are going to take place in the future because of all that has been planted in me!


You can barely make out our class on the very first two rows! See the "sea of blue"?
Btw all those pamphlets on the seats at PEAK? Ahem....yea that was sommme embarrassing work!!;) all apart of the team though!











Our graduating class! I was sure I was going to trip or fall...or surely pass out (my knees were giving out haha) but...I made it!!!!!:)




There I am!!
