Happy November! I am back for another quick update. (Epic pause)
Since the last time I wrote a few things have happened.
Media
I have finally finished the long and awaited warehouse video. This video I started back in September and due to bad timing I had to wait on a few people to interview and after that the whole editing part took a bit of time. I was pretty happy with it and can’t wait to start the next big project. In between waiting and editing I had several opportunities to make and film shots around the mission. A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege to record and take pictures of the warehouse team and staff members helping pack a shipping container that was bound for Kenya. I am currently still in the process of editing the video for that.
Warehouse
God has been blessing the warehouse with several donations in the last few weeks. Earlier this fall we had run low on cleaning and hygiene products and now we have several overflow pallets of each product. We also had several donations from other companies and last week we got multiple pallets of paper products. In our line of work the cleaning and the hygiene and the paper products are a hot item.
A couple of weeks ago we also packed the Kenya shipment. We had a bunch of help and got it done pretty quick. It was a real fun experience and it’s gonna be amazing to hear about how the equipment impacted the lives in Kenya.
Spiritual
This is an area in my life that could be better for sure. I do have a wonderful roommate and fellow co-workers that challenge me to grow. Mondays I have a class on knowing and understanding who I am in Christ at a local church and more recently a class of emotional healing every Tuesday. Being here at CMTS has definitely been helping me grow closer to God and to know Him better. One of the coolest features here is every Thursday morning we have a former pastor come and help lead a Bible study. That’s a definite plus.
Personal
My personal life is going well. I hung out with my fiancé and her family this past weekend and did some wedding planning. I thank God for all that He has done in my life. I am very blessed to have a wonderful mom and now extended family on Kira’s side. This year is definitely gonna go quickly and I just hope that I am ready for this new and exciting change.
Prayers
As I close please keep me and Kira in your prayers as we do wedding planning and figure out our future. Also pray that I continue to trust God and pray that my growth in Him grows closer. Please also pray for CMTS as a ministry and for those we will interact with this month and in the future. And please pray for continual support as I begin to have more responsibilities.
Until next time,
In this together,
Sam Mechler
