Coming at ya LIVE from Amish Country

Pennsylvania is a beautiful state. I knew I would like it but I didn't know I would like it this much. Since I've been here I've had at least 3 big adventures. I will tell you them one at a time:

1.) We are staying at a big empty house in a slightly posh neighborhood. The owners are out of town and graciously opened their home to us. So as soon as we got there me and one of the other girls on the team, Katie, went out to explore the neighborhood. As we were walking we ran into an older man with a cute little dog named Muffie...in Bekah fashion I began to talk his ear off and found out he was a Christian. Ok so fast forward to 8:30pm when we're getting ready to go to a youth outreach and our van wouldn't start. The battery was dead and we needed another vehicle to jumpstart it. Guess who I went and asked? Muffie's owner! He was so nice and came right over, jumpstarted the car with his flashy cables and then promptly handed us $20 for gas! What an amazing God thing!

2.) We hopped into the newly jumpstarted van and sped off for the outreach. The outreach was amazing because there were tons of kids and it was outside near a cornfield. Charity and I did our dance and the kids really liked it. Then another YWAM group from Pittsburg did a drama and a few of the kids raised their hands for salvation. That was awesome. So right as the drama is ending I look over at this girl's feet and realize we have the same sweet and sassy shoes. I go to talk to her after the salvation message and find out she wants to be a missionary! Oh I talked to her alright...and then danced like crazy while this high school band was playing Copeland covers. It was one of those IknowI'msupposedtobehererighthererightnow moments.

3.) Amish. Need I say more?

Next up....New York City. Be excited. Be very excited.
