Leon Family

I just went to coffee with Jazmin Rubio, a sister in Christ here. God has blessed me so much to be able to converse with her in Spanish. We talked about many things such as: home, the little bitty moon in the sky, our friends, reading, and struggles. I was very encouraged by our conversation. She encouraged me to serve my teammates more in her example with her roommates. I was able to tell her some things that have been hard here and talk about my home and family in Texas. She was a very good listener and God really knew what I needed tonight. I have been missing home and family a lot lately and been sad for no reason sometimes.

Pause: Although I am going through some trials, I am excited after 6 months of Spanish to finally get to studying more and filling my schedule with family and the lost. However, it is hard sometimes because I have to be flexible but at the same time very organized. I also have to initiate things if I want things to happen, which isn't bad because God has blessed me. In this area I have to be selfless with my schedule and work around everybody else. It is amazing to think that Jesus was always this way but at the same time always balanced his schedule. He always made time to spend with God! I am going to look towards God to give me wisdom in this area.

Back with Jazmin: At the end of our coffee "date" we prayed together. God is so good to give me a sister and friend.
