The Utah Mobile Trip

Well, it's been awhile sense I've written, life has been so crazy!
But I want to let you all know about how our trip to Utah went!
God used our team in incredible ways, He FAR exceeded my expectations, thats forsure.
Our first day of the trip we were given and hour and a half service for kids pulled out of gangs. They were all court ordered to go, there was about 10 of them, they have this meeting once a week at Caiti's home church, and we were not allowed to preach the gospel. So we talked with them about injustices of the world the whole time! We had videos, facts, a really great powerpoint, and the coolest part, our own personal testimonies of injustices we have seen and experianced. It was a tough group, but you could tell God was opening up their eyes and showing them what they could me doing with their lives.
For our other bookings we spoke and did presenatations of missions, ywam, and injustices in youth groups, chapels at Christian schools, and young adults groups all over Salt Lake City. They all went fantastic! God spoke through us in awesome ways and alot of people said they want to get into missions and quite a few signed up to do a DTS!

Another really cool thing we got to do was go to a house where they are trying to start a YWAM base. It's amazing because they have tried to start a Ywam base in Utah 3 times and it always fails. Just goes to show how deep the strongholds of mormonism run there. But yeah we went and prayed over this new base and the people who are starting it, it was very cool.
The other thing we did while we were there was prayer walks. Salt Lake City is the Mormon capitol of the world, and the main Mormon temple was there. We got into the temple court yard, walked around it 7 times and prayed=] it was so cool! We went and saw the major landmarks, the temple, the tabernacle, the visitors center, Joseph Smiths house, temple square. All these different things. It was insane, I felt like I was overseas again, in another country or another culture.The enemies deception looks so good there, it's very sneaky, it all looks "not so bad" but it so is. It was a very eye opening experiance, but also very inspireing for prayer. We even got to talk to some mormon missionaries, it was very interesting comparing our life, veiw, and motives for missions, they are so vastly different. We asked God to pour out His truth and light over salt lake city.

All in all our mobile trip was FANTASTIC. God used us in HUGE ways!! Plus he really blessed out time. We got closer together as a team, had FUN, no car trouble, no money trouble, no drama, no conflict, we made new friends and had a blast! thank you sooo much for your prayers. I know this trip wouldn't have been such a success without them !
I love you all! Thank you!
