It is already Thursday. I cannot believe that I have already been here in Bolivia for about 5 days! Time has already flown by. At the end of the day I am pretty exhausted but excited to wake up for the next day! I know that I just sent an email out updating everyone on my first few adventures in Bolivia, but I wanted to post something on here as well.
Does anyone read Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest?? Well you should definitely read the one for today....October 25th! I was blessed to have read it this morning in my quiet time. God not only used it for where I am, but I believe that it could make a profound impact for a lot of you. You can go check it out at www.rbc.com. The title was ¨Submitting to God´s Purpose.¨ It starts out talking about how you need to learn to be God´s man or woman of great worth and excellence. We are made extraordinary by the purpose He has given us. We are right where God wants us and needs us, so embrace it. A few scriptures that he referred to were 1 Cor. 9:22 and John 15:16. God has chosen us and He wants us to seek the work before us. We are not workers by choice, it is ultimately our calling! Praise God, yeah? It of course provided a lot of encouragement for where God has me right now and gave me a boost. I am right in the exact place He needs me! It doesn´t matter if you are in Cochabamba, Holland, San Antonio area, Wisconsin, South Carolina, or Mississippi. God needs you to follow Him. You can´t just sit still and expect it to be done for you and straight through you. We as children have got to do our part!
Well, although I didn´t share much about the adventures here I felt like I needed to share what I just shared! Tomorrow we are going back to the Villa Israel orphanage because there are a bunch of high school kids doing their service project. They are painting the whole house in and out. They need some supervision and assistance because there is a lot to do. Than we will go to the center to tutor and play with another group of adorable Bolivian kids! It is possible that in a week me and 2 others will be going out to the jungle to work for about a week or 2. Two orphanages are under construction out there. Ok, now I must go because we are going over to a missionary couples house for dinner who are from Australia! Hope you are seeing the hand of Christ in all you do! You can never praise Him enough!
Hasta luego,
Jaclyn

Jax,
heard this missionary talk the other day in chapel. She said, "there is no safer place to be than in the center of God's will"...and that is coming from a lady who risked her life living with wild tribes for years. You saying in your blog that you are right where you need to be made me think of this. God bless
Jaclyn I am so excited I stumbled upon your blog! i am so excited to see what the lord does in you and through you while you are gone! way to be obedient to His call! love you!
