Hola Todo!(Hello all)
I hope you are all doing well, I am doing ok, missing everyone as usual but blessed as always. I want to share my heart in something. I have been reading about who Jesus was and abotu the first church. I feel a burden for missions as I read my bible, and I feel like there is something new and exciting brewing brewing in the church for missions. I want to propose something,
as I read my bible, it becomes clear that the holy spirit is indeed real, and alive today. I feel that we must get back to the basics of the word of God and the moving of the Holy spirit. Therefore, my porposal is that we all start walking daily in the spirit for at least one week. just to try it, would it change the way missions is addressed today? yes, it would. we could be so usefull if we would walk by the spirit. Anyways, I am going to challenege myself to walk this way for a week, and see if I can live that way.

My short update.
Hello all!
I wanted to quickly update you all on my grades in school. I have all A`s,B`s and c`s in my classes. my spaish grade is a C and that is really good for not speaking good spanish. I am blessed and I feel like it is a good witness to the students for me to get a good grade in all my classes. I feel really blessed,
I also feel blessed because today I got talking with a student and he asked me if I was serious about wanting to go into the mission field. Also, I have been blessed by being able to speak even more spanish I have a new determination to leanr spanish and really wish I could have more time to study it. My host family tells me tha when I go back to the states, I ned to keep leanring spanish and make sure I dont forget it or get rusty on it. They told me to just find ways to speak spanish. I feel this is good, becuse I feel more and more that I am being called into something more then just this time here. The Lord is stirring my heart for the Central American region and I love being here and will miss everyone when I come home in Dec. Anyways, it}s dark now and I need to get home.
God bless,
Josaih

Random Posting
Ok all two blogs in two days! wow, I guess I am making up for lost time this past week.
I hope this blog finds you all all well once again. I figure I would just be posting a random blog about random sorts of things.
As I sit here I have some thouhgts I have been thinking about. The first one being how much am I willing to die to myself to be able to truely be a lfe changer?
maybe someday I will upload a poem I wrote about dying to myself, anyways, I wish I could die to myself fully and truely be a "missionery" I wish I could be witnessing day in and day out. I wonder often what is considered to my mission field and am I truely acting as a missionery? what defines a Missionery? am I truely serving God or should I be doing more? how much of an effort am I making? anywasy, I guess the point I am trying to make is, I am feeling dscourged by lack of fruits showing in my time here maybe I need to just be patient and let it grow in time. Anyways, trhis is a random posting and just a bunch of words some might never want to read. I am just ranting,My second thought is the thought of long term work in Central America region, I am feeling more called and more confident of my work here, I feel as if the possibilty of being here in the region could be very real. No direct dissions as I need to finish Highschool, anyways, this is not a for sure thing and it could dramticaly change in the next years, but anyways I am feeling at peace me being hee for only 2 more months. I want to come back to Honduras to vist and see all my friends again. This post is so random and I am homesick and slightly bored.
God is faithful though and maybe someday I will be back to this region, I really feel this is where I am called. My time here is only 4 mnths I need to take advantage time of this time and do my best effort!
time to close this post

Honduras life and more
Ok people,
lets do this!
wow, never thouhg a week could be so long.....this past week has been tough, full of homework, and random things, now I am preparing for yet another long week of test and more. But Among my craziness I have been overwhelmingly blessed this past week and Life in honduras is treating me ok despite the languge, odd foods, and other things. Anyways, I have had some good times w/ the classmates lately we have connected well. I have been busy with school and trying to leanr spanish, finding ways around my town, doing random things, connecting w/ the classmates and students.
Let me update you all on my spanish speaking skills, so far I seem to be coming along well and tonight for the first time I was able to full understand the youth, this is great, because I always have such a hard time understanding youht because they talk faster I think and because they use more slang and other words then adults. as if understanding Spanish is not hard enough
Meanwhile besides leanring spanish, I am keeping a steady grade in french, this is amazing as I am trying to leanr Spanish and French. On my French Oral test I got 9.5 out of 10 points! my teacher was amazed and says I'm ready for testing and also I am leanring fast.
some other classes I keep a steady grade in is Espaniol, this class is touhg and I just simply do my best. The teachers understand I'm trying and they have been helpful. This past week, I have had some incidents regarding some students but things have worked out and I was able to witness to them. Anyways, tonight Honduras lost against the United States (I can't say America because we are in Central America so they say that they are Americans) anyways, I sorta wanted Honduras to win so that way they could go to the world cup, they still have chance but a very slim one. Anyways, hopefully they make it, Honduras needs to go to the world cup it would be very encourging to them to be able to make it. I need to get going it's almost midnight here,
So long!
God bless,
Josiah

This past week and the Lords work
Hello all!
I hope this update finds you well and about the Lord business. As I sit here in Honduras I think of each one of you guys and I miss you all. But I want to share about my past week and how I have been blessed. As some of you may or may not know this past week has been full of many test in school and a lot of homework.
I hav some good news regarding the results of some test, so far I have passed my test and proved to be getting good grades thanks to God. My classmates are somewhat am,azed and I keep telling gthem it's because I study and prepare for test. Please keep them in your prayers, and also the teachrs as they teach us. Along with studying for test I have had a chance to connect with the classmates more this week then before possibly. These are all praise reports but now I want to share what the Lord has done for me spirtualy. He has opended his word to me so much, I have been reading in Luke about Jesus last days on earth and how much he served the diciples rather then worry about his death. I am so blessed by how he did not worry about his future but the future of those arround him. I don't why I feel that can be aplied to me but maybe it's because I know what I'm doing and where the Lord has me and I know I'm in his will. But how many of my classmates and students don't know who the Kord is or a will for their livs that are so precious? Am I so blind to the truth that not everyone is saved? my point is after reading and studying the Lord has spoken to me even more about reaching them then he allowed a door this past thur to be opended at recess. I was able to talk about my faith with a student who has moral stands that are against the bible. The lord is slowly working
Below are some prayer request placed on my heart:
School
my teachers
Classmates as always but please pray for seeds to be watered
a particulur student at school with whom I have been able to have some talks with
My host family, they are conn ected well with me but please pray for my roomate that I can be a witness to him, he came with me to youht group tonight for the first time so the Lord is moving!
spanish skills
Praise reports:
Test went good
School is going really good
The Lord is faithful and true
Thank again for all yor prayers, please keep praying!
