Month report!! Que vivan los plantain bananas
It’s been a few months since I started working at IFI, and so far, it’s been a great experience. I have met wonderful people there, and I think I’m getting to know another version of myself. Honestly, I still don’t believe the meaning of having God in my life, but it’s becoming necessary to keep […]
The beginning of the ISEED training – Summary of September
Hi everybody! Didn’t I say I’d come back? This month of September went by very quickly and a lot of things happened in our ISEED training. The month was marked by endings and beginnings! First, we finished our Bible story telling lesson. It took a few weeks to learn how to tell Bible stories accurately […]
An Experience of American Hospitality
I have always associated American hospitality with asking Uncle Google and also assuming it was something that resembles giving others personal space, including no hugs and not calling on family without announcing beforehand. Let us just say, I did not get it nor see it. I keep my bread in a refrigerator and microwave it […]

The world was unified by the fear of a pandemic. I Felt like I needed a refund of 2020 cause I barely had all the months to myself, but, wait! […]
Marked by God
Being marked by God means that we have God’s approval on our life in our everyday life. God has set us apart for a special purpose, do not let people, or your hard situation mark you but allow God to mark you for he cares and loves you more than you can think or imagine. […]
A Conversation
The power of a conversation with Jesus, is a weapon not so used, but so effective. I have come to enjoy conversational prayer with the Lord lately, He communicates his truth to me and I communicate faith to him by trusting him, accepting his will in faith. 1 John 5:14-15 “And we are confident that […]
Stand Victorious
In my MasterLife class, this week topic was on Stand Victorious and this is my favorite topic of this book. There are few things that stood out to me in this chapter and I thought it will be great sharing them with you all. In this chapter we learned five principles of spiritual warfare; the […]
SNOW WHITE
I woke up to a cold morning, I looked out the window, it was all covered in snow. It reminded me of psalm 147:16 ” He sends the snow like white wool, He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes”. This was beautiful to know, that God is still in control even when I think […]
