Sisters  in Christ,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Here is a quick recap of my last four weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Four weeks ago I was in Oregon &amp; packing to head to  Florida!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Three weeks ago I was in Florida!<!--more--><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Two weeks ago I was attending an amazing Seminar in Florida at  the NTM Home Office &#8211; &#8220;Sharpening Your Inter-Personal Skills&#8221;.\u00a0 It was a great  seminar and will greatly help us with our friendship, our co-workers &amp;  teammates, &amp; also in the future with anyone we come in contact with!\u00a0 I  normally hate attending seminars\/workshops, but this was very good because it  had a great amount of interaction with each other, and there was no boring  lectures!\u00a0 Following the seminar I was able to spend some more time with Amy  &amp; her family, and we even got to go to the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida!\u00a0  Life was busy &amp; exciting in Florida!\u00a0 And I even saw my alligator!!\u00a0 He\/she  was around 10-12 feet and I could have reached out &amp; touched him!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">One week ago I was in Louisiana.\u00a0 I came to Louisiana with the  big purpose of sharing at my cousin&#8217;s church in Erwinville, Louisiana.\u00a0 I was  able to share with their church on Sunday (9\/6)\u00a0for about an hour!\u00a0 It was a  great time &amp; I came away totally encouraged by this church and their desire  to see God&#8217;s name reach people all around the world!\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been able to stay  with my Aunt Rosie, and I have seen almost all of my cousins that live in  Louisiana.\u00a0 We even took a trip to Mississippi to\u00a0visit with my cousin &amp; her  family.\u00a0\u00a0Now\u00a0I am helping\u00a0my aunt pack for our trip to Oregon on  Saturday!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">My Aunt &amp; I will flew home to Oregon on Saturday.\u00a0 Then  Sunday I plan to 56will drive her to my grandma&#8217;s house and she will spend about 2-3 weeks  with her, while I will only stay until Wednesday.\u00a0 And that is all of my  traveling (I think) for just a little bit.\u00a0 My next big travel plans should be  to Mexico!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">When I get back home to Oregon the next big plans are: continue  to raise my prayer &amp; financial support, prepare for a yard sale, &amp; pack  my things for Mexico.\u00a0 Currently my financial support level has reached 41%  ($1299 out of $3152)!!\u00a0 Amy &amp; I have been trying to plan for a leave date to  head to Mexico, and while we would like for it to be October, we are really  going to have to wait until our support level reaches 60% ($1900).\u00a0 And then we  will be able to plan on heading down to Mexico!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Please continue to pray for us as we seek to do God&#8217;s will in  our lives.\u00a0 Also as we are getting closer to heading to Mexico, and for our  families as we will soon be leaving them.\u00a0 And also praise God with us as He  continues to prepare the way for us to head to Mexico!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Patiently waiting on the Lord,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span>Crystal Pierce<\/span><br \/>\nen route  to Mexico with<br \/>\nNew Tribes Mission<br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ntm.org\/crystal_pierce\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">www.ntm.org\/crystal_pierce<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: small\">P.S.\u00a0 You can also check out my website &#8211;
