Dear Friends,

The days are just flying by! Tomorrow morning I will be leaving home for America again. Last Saturday it was my 25th birthday and we celebrated at the Nautilus restaurant. There was so much singing, dancing and eating with about forty Holy Given friends attending. Then on Sunday I was baptized in the Indian Ocean. It was such a precious day for many of us. Why be baptized again? Well why not? It was just a symbol of me giving my life to Jesus again and being washed clean and filled with His Holy Spirit. I was so blasted so I don't have any pictures but I do have a short video clip. Rolland and Heidi Baker and Mel Tari baptized me… and to be baptized by people who raise the dead, heal the sick and go to heaven is amazing.

This past Wednesday was the Holy Given School of International Missions' graduation. There were about 200 Mozambican pastors who also graduated. It was such a Spirit filled, wild and crazy day. Most of the school went on extended outreach in the bush and most of us are leaving this Tuesday to go home.

I will send one more email when I get home with pictures and some overall reflection about the trip. Please pray for safe travels home and to be free of jet lag. I get into Philly at 2:30pm on Wednesday then have teacher training at Lower Dauphin Thursday morning. I spent the last few days on holiday here soaking up the sun and sipping tea and sodas on the most beautiful beaches in the world. It will be a crazy time but more of a reason to lean on Jesus. I have been so incredibly blessed here in Pemba Mozambique.

Thank you for all of your prayers.
