On to my next adventure:

Yes, I am doing the next school in YWAM Tyler which is the School of Evangelism(SOE).
Since you asked so nicely, I did not want to do that school at first, however God changed my heart. I'm so excited for another five months of growing in the Lord and letting Him take over me completely! It will be the same type of thing: 3 months of lecture, 2 months of outreach. This outreach I'm especially excited for. I'll be spending it in Romania working with prostitution and human sex trafficking again. God is so faithful to keep teaching me and showing me how to help these women and the amazing plan He has for their lives!

So... This blog will continue.

Well hey there everyone.
Havent updated for a few days but yeahh not much has happened I guess to update on.

Tomorrow I'm going to ride elephants =] hooray!!

I just wrote a whole post and then it got deleted. Uggghh.

Sorry I havent been updating lately. We havent been doing much but it still seems like we have no time to do anything.
During the day time we've been working towards YWAMS 50th anniversary tonight. I get to dress up like a thai person which makes no sense to me because I'm tall and large. But they still picked me. And ofcourse we get to bring in Loren and Darline Cunningham on bamboo thrones. What an accomplishment.

At night we've continued to go to the bars. I'm in love with that place because of the prostituted people there. Ive continued to see Mali each time we've gone, even if its just to say hi. God has completely opened that door for me. She speaks amazing english and starts the conversations with me. We've exchanged chocolate, lots of hugs, and lots of cheek kisses. I love her ridiculously and my heart is after her.
Last night I went to a new bar because there was a party at Wooden bar, or Mali's bar. I started talking to the women because they started yelling at me telling me I was beautiful and "LONG!". They then preceded to touch my arms over and over again haha. We ate fruit and played connect four until their customers came in. Mai, my newest friend, insisted I meet them. I had never been in that position of talking to the customers yet. I was nervous, but went for it.(It was safe, Steve was three feet away from me and watching very closely).
"Hey my name is Julie, nice to meet you."
"Thats a coincidence, my ex wife that I just divorced yesterday was named Julie."
"Oh..ummm..."
"Let me buy you a drink!"

bahahah.
It wasnt threatening whatsoever. I talked to them about life for a bit over my coke zero. It was hard at times seeing the things they would do to my new friends. But I continued to talk to them because my poker face is getting very good. I love these bars. I come alive when I get there, not in a bad way, but I love hanging out with these people. I could do it everyday and I'm so excited to know that this is my calling.

Today we went back during the day time to pray. Amy, Johannes, Charles and I. We decided to sing some worship songs there. Once we got there it was shocking; The bars look so different. If you didnt see the signs and the boxing ring, it would seem like a complete different place. Its so peaceful even more then the village. We prayed there for a good hour and God continued to just pour out His heart into mine. I'm after these Lady Boy's and Prostituted women's hearts!
I took a picture but it wont let me upload it right now. I will later though.

Keep praying!
