Los Lunes - The Mondays.

Hello again to everyone who faithfully reads our blogs! Or not... but that's ok! Thank you for all your support and prayer thus far... it is definitely needed since we have officially dived into our ministry and things seem to get more and more intense - God is doing great works here in Amsterdam.

The past weekend was one of rest for our team, but not after we made dinner for the entire base 2 nights in a row... from scratch! Saturday night we experimented with Chili-mac (with a special shout out to Hannah's dad for passing on this recipe to her.. you would be proud!) and the base loved it! Sunday night we made grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (also from scratch) and got on an 8 out of 10 from the chefs in the kitchen. We are slipping into routine with the people in the community and finding ourselves in the beginnings of incredible relationships. Mostly we are trying to help out here on the base as much as possible, where at the moment we are needed most.

However, we had an amazing opportunity at the Lighthouse ministry in the red light district - God blessed us and we were able to cook dinner for a bible study hosted by Melissa and Edna, two of the main leaders. We had dinner with some of the women from the red light and then painted for them during the worship session, and we even got to explain prophetic painting and the meanings of our pictures before we gave them away as gifts. We shared an amazing evening praying for and getting prayed for by some of the most honorable and beautiful women we have ever been blessed to meet.

As we go into the next few days we are going to be doing a lot of renovating and working with the people directly on the base and at the Lighthouse. Please pray for health because Chelsea lost her voice and also pray for our host family and their daughter Vera's health. We would appreciate it very much!! We love and miss you all and will update this soon, and hope all is well at home.... This month is going to be a crazy adventure - and please keep sending us texts of encouragement! Ok.... bye!
