Praise God that I've decided which school to go to when I return from Niger! BIOLA has accepted my deferment  and I am on for the 2013-2014 school year! 
Also, thank God that people have been responding well to my first newsletter and please pray that He will continue raising up prayer warriors and people to support me. The Lord is awesome and I know that He will provide no matter what!

Hi again!
I would like you to join me in prayer as, along with planning on going to Niger, I must also decide within the next week which college I will go to when I return to the States.
I have narrowed it down to two colleges; Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL and Biola University in La Mirada, CA. I have already been accepted to Biola with a good scholarship and grant package, but still need to decide if I will accept their offer. It gets slightly more complicated because if I do choose to go to Biola, I will need to ask for an enrollment deferment until next year. I have yet to apply to Moody, and even though I have already been accepted into Biola, I am still very interested in Moody's ministry program. Students who go to Moody are required to do ministry hours weekly, and double major in Bible and another subject.
Both are great Christian schools and I would be happy to go to either one of them, but I'm torn between the two. If you would please be praying for me to make wise decisions concerning school, that would be great. I know God can use either one of them to help accomplish His purpose in my life.

Hello everyone!
I would like to invite you to join me as I encounter a new culture. I'm not only entering the culture of a people in a different country with different customs; I'm also entering the new culture of adulthood. I've been a kid all my life and now is the time for a change. I don't have to change who I am because God can use anyone for His glory, but I do have to change my heart. I can't live for myself because there is no purpose in that. I MUST live for Him. I'm dedicating my life to whatever God wants me to do. I am going wherever God sends me, and at least for now, that place is Africa. I have been so blessed to have grown up in Perú and I'm so excited that I get to be a part of His ministry in Niger!
