God changes me!!!

Hi, my name is Martin, I'm 21 and grew up in Bavaria, Germany. In January I came to Austin to complete my volunteer service with "HELP for all Nations".
I'm convinced that God led me here. In March last year He spoke to me about a year abroad and I started my search. First I wasn't very successful, so I rolled all my care over to God and now I'm here! Additional to having found a great place I receive financial support from the government. I'm so thankful for His provision.
Already in the beginning God pointed out certain things in my life that I havent recognized before. I brought them to Jesus and He changed me and is still changing me.
In the first month we went on a Rainbow Gathering where Travelers, Hippies etc. meet. We gave them coffee, hot chocolate and Ramen soups. That week was very precious to me because I was able to serve these people. We also had good conversations with them and could sow seeds into their lives.
Only the nights were bitterly cold and we were grateful for the camping stove that warmed us up in the morning.
The outreaches in Austin are a very blessed time where I can pay full attention to the homeless and their needs and listen with an open heart. Unfortunately I wasn't able to have deep conversations about faith yet because of my small English vocabulary.
Something I really enjoy is working in the Community House on the property. It's fun to see the progress. What I also like is the work ethic. It is very harmonious, something I'm not used to from my previous work. I'm a brick mason and one needs a thick skin because everybody talks bad about the others. Here at HfaN nobody rants or tells you that you're a no-good. It's great to live together with other Christians.
Another thing that God is transforming is my relationship with Him. It becomes deeper and deeper. Then I'm also learning to trust Him in every situation.
Finally I can say that I'm infinitely thankful to be able to spend this year here and I'm not gonna be the same person when I come back home.
