Mi tiempo en Mèxico!

Hola genteeeeeee!!!!!!!!! Estoy felìz sobre el nieve!!! (Hey people, I'm happy about the snow)

Don't worry, this entire blog won't be in spanish. LOL

It is currently snowing here in Alabama so I finally have time to sit down and blog about my trip to Mexico. It was by far the greatest week of my life. HOWEVER, I know that the best is yet to come. My greatest days are ahead of me. This will be a compilation of my journal entrees and current thoughts on my experience. I will start with my journal entrees. I will just be pulling excerpts of important things I wrote down.

wednesday november 27, 2013-(hint: this was before i went)- i am sitting in my room in florence right now. it's 12:06 am. i am going to mexico in a little over 2 weeks........just for future reference, i declare that i will live in the garment of praise and i will live in peace when i'm in mexico. i know God is going to move so mightily. i know that souls are going to be saved and people are going to be delivered.....Doug gave me an extra $100.....i am finally stepping into what God has called me to do. i am so thankful for the people who have encouraged me to go on this trip. i cant wait to write in the journal everyday while i'm down there.

I made those declarations over myself because I was experiencing so many negative emotions. No me gusta.

tuesday, december 3, 2013- (hint: once again, this was before we actually left for the trip)- tonight we had our meeting for our mission trip.....I met a new friend named Emily! she is so cool. i'm looking forward to spending the week with mark mckissack mark and robin sewell. i think i will learn so much from them.......

thursday december 12, 2013-it's the day before i leave for mexico. i'd be lying if i said i wasn't nervous........with God, i won't be stopped......i just don't know what i'm doing. i really hope that i make really good friends on the trip........

friday, december, 13, 2013- i am on the van, hence the bumpiness. it is day 1 of the trip. i can't believe i am on my mission trip. MY FIRST MISSION TRIP. this is so surreal. i am in arkansas right now. i've noticed that i'm still in the bible belt. shakka babba. i love looking at everything we pass by. we stopped and ate lunch at taco bell and in there a song was playing and it said, "follow your heart and you'll never get lost." i thought that quote was so on point w/ my trip. we are a little over halfway to dallas where we are staying tonight. i got to give this guy a word in Corinth @ mcdonalds. he was fairly receptive. i have made a new friend named caitlin. she is riding next to me in the van. i found out that we were very similar in high school!..... she is a lot of fun to be around. i feel so alive right now. i feel like i'm stepping into my calling on a whole new level. there is such a grace right now. i am so happy to be on this trip. i am now in my hotel room and i'm rooming with caitlin! we danced to Feliz Navidad. it's been hilarious........ we ate dinner at cracker barrell for dinner and we were playing checkers and i saw a lady with a walker and i got to pray for her. then when we were done eating i saw another lady w/ a walker. she was super friendly and so receptive of prayer. after we got done praying, she told us that she would be praying for our mission trip. this has been so great. i found out more about Caitlin and we actually have very similar pasts. it's so awesome!

saturday december 14, 2013- today doe.this was one of the most experiential days i've ever had in my entire life. i can honestly say that this trip has been so stretching and so beautiful at the same time. today was so action packed. right now it's 10:23 and i'm sleeping in a bunk right now. i'm in the upstairs of a church that i don't know the name of. man this is the life. it is absolutely the life. i feel so bohemian. today we went across the border to get our visas. CULTURE SHOCK. there were people standing in the middle of the road selling things, trying to wash people's cars, etc.......but when we were at a stop light, this guy was trying to wash our winder but our driver told him no, so he went up to our other van and jumped on the front of it and started washing it. it was funny but it freaked me out at the same time. God is so doing a work in me. it's so deep. i feel like i'm already so changed just after seeing the people selling stuff on the street. THERE'S A POWER IN POVERTY THAT BREAKS PRINCIPALITIES AND BRINGS THE AUTHORITIES DOWN TO THEIR KNEES. -JASON UPTON. i almost don't wanna go to sleep tonight because i just want to reflect on everything that happened today. coming back into texas we had our passports checked and the border security searched our van. it was intense. when we were at lunch, we ate at burger king. i got to give a lady a word and she was tearing up and after i gave her a word, Caitlin asked her if she needed us to pray for her or anything and she said, "Yes! i'm barely able to make end's meet." so we prayed for her and she was so touched. she did the catholic cross over her face thing. and her name was Esther. the word i gave her was about how she had a gifting to raise up young girls in purity and that God was going to open up doors for her. and she said "that's amazing, because i really need doors opened." then when we were at dinner, i got to give this guy a word. his name was Homero and i told him that God had a huge calling on his life and then i asked him if he was in school and he said no because he owed some money and i prophesied over him that he would have more than enough money to go and i told him that i felt lie that was a desire that he had. and he said that it was! it was wonderful.

That Jason Upton song was in my head the entire trip, along with God I Look to You by Jenn Johnson, and Dear John by Jason Upton. I listened to God I Look to You and Come to Me a lot on the trip.

sunday december 15,2013-......the scenery here is so beautiful. i'm learning not to take myself so seriously. church was off the hook this morning. the worship was AMAZING.....they played the most awesome worship songs. and they were sung in spanish. we sang "i give you glory glory. i give you glory glory. i give you glory glory, Jesus" and they sang revelation song and dancing generation. i got to give the church a word of encouragement.

We sang "I Give You Glory" in spanish obvz. It's called "To Doy Gloria"

monday december 16, 2013-today was literally one of the best days of my life. it was truly amazing. it's just amazing, amazing, amazing. this morning we got up and ate breakfast and then we bagged beans. i didn't write much yesterday because i fell asleep. but yesterday when we went to the church in nuevo loredo, the service was amazing......there was oil drenching the floor by the middle of worship. they fed us after...... i fell in love with the people at the church. they were so sweet.

tuesday december 17, 2013-i have been getting in super late so i haven't been able to write as much as i like. my mind gets so flooded with everything that happened. i just sit and stare into space thinking about everything. i love hanging out with adults so much. that is something i've learned about myself on this trip. i mean i've always known that about myself but i learned it on a whole new level this week. i've also found that i do like my alone time. before this trip, i used to think that i would love hanging out with people all the time, but now i realize that's not true in the least bit........today was amazing. devotion this morning was crazy! i wept. worship was good and then we had a time of repentance. if anyone needed to. Emily Butler came over to me and asked me if i would go with her to pray for Mr. Vernon. she said that she believed that he was gonna walk.

Wow wow wow. I can't wait for my next mission trip! God spoke to me so much through children in Mexico. I felt so much love through them, and honestly almost every Mexican I encountered. I'm just so amazed at the grace God provided on the trip. God just BLEW MY MIND there, just like He always does. He is beautiful. I was so drunk in the Spirit there. I laughed so much and God healed me of SO much anxiety, depression and heaviness. It feels AMAZING.

te amo yall,

Allie
