United States, August 25th, 2009.
Dear Friends,
It is always a joy to be able to write to you and tell you how much I enjoy seeing God working every day in my life. Our lives and days are definitely full of God’s blessings, aren’t they?
I wanted to share with you some of my future plans. I will be flying back to El Salvador on October 10th. The week after I get there, I will be interpreting for a friend who is coming from England to meet with 2 children who she is sponsoring through Compassion International. We will meet with the children and their families on two different days. We will also be visiting other Salvadorian ministries in El Salvador.
The next month, I am planning on traveling to the Youth with a Mission Base in Antigua Guatemala. I will spend 2 weeks there (November 1st-14th). I will be interpreting for the Discipleship Training School students.
I am always thankful for your prayers.
Blessings,
Susy Ayala

Susy's Summer Adventures
Atlanta, July 14th, 2009.
Dear Friends,
I am at the Youth with a Mission (YWAM) Base in Atlanta (United States). It feels good and great being able to worship God, to hear His voice, to intercede, and to spend time of fellowship with my YWAM family.
Last Sunday, I had the privilege to share a teaching based on Matthew 14:23-32 with a Missionary Church in Robbinsville, North Carolina. This passage depicts the story of Jesus walking on waters. I learned four main points from the story.
1. Watching someone do something out of my comfort zone may be terrifying. (Jesus walking on waters).
2. Jesus is encouraging and inviting me to be where He is by doing what He is doing. (He said, "Come!")
3. I have to do my part. (Getting out of the boat).
4. I may still fall, but Jesus will be there to catch me.
Some questions to ask ourselves...
a. What does God want me to do that is out of my comfort zone?
b. Who do I need to talk to?
c. Where do I need to go?
d. What do I need to say?
Nice song to listen to...
"Oh! what would I do to have the kind of strength I need to get out of this boat I am in." Voice of Truth song by Casting Crowns.
I would appreciate your prayers as I continue my journey back to Missouri and Arkansas in the next month.
Blessings,
Susy

Susy in Action...
June 22nd, 2009.
Dear Friends,
I am still in the United States having a great time with friends!
I have been able to share about my life and missions in some Vacation Bible Schools, Sunday School classes, Kid's camps, and families.
I have also had the opportunity to play some...
And I got to run a 5K race! Fun!
Thank you friends for letting me come over and have a wonderful time of fellowship with you!
May God bless you all,
Susy

It´s time to learn...
The Discipleship Training School has already started at YWAM El Salvador!
This is a new exciting challenge for me because I will be interpreting most of the classes and activities for Simo-Ott – our student from Estonia. This means that I will use English vocabulary from Europe and not from the United States as I am used to. For instance, I will say "mobile" instead of "cell phone." There will also be concepts to explain to him because of this “new Salvadorian culture” he is living in.
Regarding the Bible lessons, it feels like I will have Aaron’s position and responsibility to convey God’s message through a Moses (a teacher). On Exodus 4:15 and 16, God tells Moses, “You shall speak to him (Aaron) and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. He will speak to the people (Simo-Ott) for you, and it will be as if he (Aaron) were your mouth and as if you (Moses) were God to him.”
We will be teaching/learning one-week lessons on topics such as "How to Hear God´s Voice", "Quiet Time", "Intercession", "Fasting", "Biblical Worldview", "Evangelism", and "Missions."

There will be a total of 12 weeks of lecture and then the students will go on outreach for 8 weeks to share what they have learned in their training. That is why our motto is "To know God to make Him Known!"
Prayer requests
1. That I may be a cultural interpreter between Simo and Salvadorians.
2. That I will be able to convey God’s message with accuracy to Simo.
3. The planning and resources for a 4-month trip to the United States.
4. My family
5. Elections for President in El Salvador in March.
