February went by so fast and it's all ready March Wow.... where did all the time go? I feel like everything is flying bye there is a lot going on with me. As a lot of you know I am part time with Mission Adelante and I love working there! My job title is Ministry Aide, I go to work had help the staff or what might need to be done around the building and then I get to hang out with our LIT kids. LIT is our (leaders In Training). It's really kool to see how these kids our growing so much throw what they learn on Kid Adelante on Thursday nights and just how much we show them there is someone that really love them. Mission Adelante is doing a graet thing down here there Mission:

We Had Four Students come Down Over Spring Break:
Check out the pic (Just A Day Of Fun)
Spring Break is for just time to rest from school and just take it easy but not for these for lady's on there spring break they came down to Mission Adelante. It was some fun days for the kids Monday and Tuesday kids showed up to hang out. It was really Kool to see how many kids did show up, They played games and did a bible story's. On Tue for the St. Patrick's Day we took some kids to the parade. when they could have been hanging out with there friends or family, It was really kool to see them come down and spend there time hanging out with the kids and eally showing the love of God to them.
LIT "Leaders In Training "
It's fun to go every Thursday night and really love on these kids and tell them about God love for them. I feel we are the ones who are teaching the kids so much about God and how they don't have to go find other thing to make them happy or to fund love in other things. God loves them no matter what they have done in there life's. I was talking to one girl last week and she was tell me about somethings in her life that was going on to hear her store just broke my heart.
Will LIT started last year and it's kool to see. We chose 13kids out of our Thursday nights club
that showed a little bit of leader ship and we invited to this new program. Well, LIT has had it's ups and downs right now... We only have 10kids that are still hanging on with us, but the ones that our still her are working really heard and keeping up with everything.

KID'S ADELANTE (Thursday night's)
I was able to share that even though we don't under stand life and why bad thing happens but God is all ways there for her. This is why we are here to reach these kids and show them that there is so much love for them when they face so much pain at this young age it's so hard for them to under stand it all but when they know that it's going to be ok it make something a little easy and that someone is there for them. I told her that God is there for her and I was right there for her too I think she under stood it that we are here for them and we care about them.

Every Saturday at 9:30 there is a little garage that we open and family's they come in and get stuff that might help them. Just watching some of these families come in shows me that the have some much strength to ask for help by just coming. Just with the hard times everyone is facing right now I have seem a lot of family's come in and ask for dippers and food or take a bag full of clothes or stuff for there house or there kids or just things take for granted.
(this is a pic of what it looked like when we first started)
when everyone that comes in after they look around we ask if there is any special need that they did not, one asked for a bed and other asked for a stove we try or best if we get stuff donation and a family needs it we let them know that we have what they are looking for. I love helping them and letting them know it's ok to ask for help and that we are here to help them. the one kool thing that we do for everyone that comes in we pray for them before they leave last Saturday I got to pray for a lady it was really sweet to be able to bless her by praying over her life.

so that's what I have been up to with Mission Adelante but I feel like God is teaching me alot right now in my life and my walk with him, let me give you a look into my world.
Right now I feel like I have a lot of balls up in the air that I am trying to juggle and in my life right now, I some times wounder if any our going to come down. I am learning a lot working for Mission Adelante and living down here has been a really eye opener for me. I never thought this would be such a growing time around rising and trusting God in this new walk has been a really sweet experiment. I have been living with a family that has three and it had been a great time share life with them. I am sad and excited to say that God had called them to Costa Rica it's going to be a great time to see there family grow in God and for the to share God's love over there is even cooler. I feel like this time in place I have been really close to God and it's kool to see him show him self to me in so many was that just blow me away.

I am Reading:
this book is really kool I read some of it this summer but pick it up and started reading it a lot and I have been getting a lot out of it and trying to live it out. This something really kool keeping God in your mind when you go throw your day and just talk to Him like you would talk to a friend or just ask him for help when you are going throw a hard time with you job or school.
I have been trying this and I feel like God and I have grown so much closer I share my life by all ways having him on my mind. I will be honest that I some time do forget that God is there but I when I do I tell him Sorry God I forgot just a little please help me stay close to you and I can feel him with me."If there is any contribution that I have to make to the world that will live, surely it must be my experience of God on Signal Hill "Frank Laubach. this book is like a dairy of both man and there walk trying to keep the presence of God close. It's kool to read when they have good days and when they have bad days. I just got to Brother Lawrence part but I can't wait to see how his walk is going to be like and see how much I can keep learning and growing so close to God by practicing his presence.

This CD has been in my player in my car and on my pic and this CD has been very helpful right now in my life I just feel like the song really speak how I feel some times. In my last blog I talked about a song Never Let Go and it's on this CD. I could talk about all the songs but I am going to try to pick out some of my favorite:
Never ending: This song is so true to hear
Never Let Go: This has helped when time get hard and I sometimes don't under stand
Rain down: I just want him to rain down on my life
We won't be quite: I wanted to live this song out in my life
Surely we can change: This is my pray for the world. I feel this song really needs to touch every ones heart. It just hits home for me right now on how much we need to do this. For everyone will know that we still care even when the world might have stop caring a long time ago.

- Please pray for the LIT kids who received Christ last week to continue their growth in Him.
- Please Pray for the Sears family that they will have Safe travel

New Birth in the Mission Adelante Community
Five LIT Kids Born Again!
Long-term investing in the lives of our "Leaders-In-Training" kids has born spiritual fruit! Iris, Nayeli, Helen, Edgar, and Felipe all received Christ on Wednesday during our mentoring time. Because of more than a year (in some cases more than two years) of learning the Bible through the Kids Adelante's Outreach Bible Study, the message of the gospel was not hard for them to grasp or receive.
I have seen significant changes in the attitude and character of these kids over the last several months. Being with them three afternoons and one evening each week since September has given us the opportunity to see them at their best and worst, and has allowed us to speak truth into their lives in every situation. They have become more and more open and have learned to trust that we are truly for them. Now, as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, they are new creations in Christ. It will be exciting to see how the Holy Spirit will continue His work in them!

-Just wanted to know the great news about some of the kids I work with!
Needs:
- We have found that baby items such as diapers and wipes go faster than we can stock them. We always need these items!
- Food staples for what we call "Canasta Basica" or basic basket also go fast. One "Canasta Basica" contains: 2 bags of rice, 3 bags of beans, 1 box of Maizena, one bag of sugar, one bottle of cooking oil, 2 bags of pasta, 1 bag of flour. We love it when friends can bring a complete "Canasta Basica" already assembled! This is what we try to hand to every family that comes to the Resource Center.
- If any one would life to donations any new and lightly used items to the Resource Center that might be just stilling around Please just let us know
