Currently. {Vol. 11}

Hey there! Welcome to Currently, where I share what we are currently up to each week - and the goal(s) we have for the coming week. 

Thinking about: How great last night was. We are starting to have Saturday night services here at the mountain with the boys - and last night was the first service. It was so good. The focus is more of a worship service-lots of singing, with a brief word in the middle. At first we could tell that the boys weren't that into it - but by the last song, their attitudes had completely shifted. Pastor Carlos did an altar call, and three of our boys went to the front to accept Jesus as their Lord. I am excited to see what God is going to do through these worship services and I am praying that these boys will start to see how much God loves them. -sorry about the color/quality of these photos - we had the lights dimmed, and I didn't want to use the flash and disturb the service. 

Listening to: "In your presence Lord, I will find my strength. You're the breath in me, you're my everything."

Making: I made my first ever dump cake this week. I had a pineapple that was super ripe and needed to be used up. I thought about making pineapple smoothies, but then remembered a recipe that I had seen for pineapple dump cake. Literally, you put the chopped up pineapple in the bottom of the pan, sprinkle some sugar over it, sprinkle the dry cake mix on top and then put pats of butter all over the top and stick it in the oven for 50 minutes. It turns out to be this buttery-sugary fluffy cake with sugary pineapple chunks. It was good. The boys who did English class with me got to test it out too - we've decided it is a winner.
