This is a note to all who have been sending money and supporting my time in Venezuela: And everyone else who has supported me with prayers and notes as well..

First of all, Thank you so much, I am very grateful for all of you and what you have made possible this past year. It has been a year of struggles and trials but a year of growth and of seeing the Glory of the Lord, thanks to all of you I had this wonderful opportunity!! I'm saddened to let all of you know that I will not be returning to Venezuela in 2009 for my second year. God is now blessing all of you with the money you have planned to send me, please do not send more money to the mission for my visa term, or send money to me, because I will not be returning or completing my second year of service. More details are available if you contact me personally at hooverhm@yahoo.com

My year in Venezuela ended amazing. God sent so many blessings my way and encouraged me in so many ways. I was able to attend a young lady's 15th birthday party, (which is a huge party with a growing up ceremony), I was able to attend a youth event going to a national park and spend my last saturday with all the youth and enjoy a fabulous time in God's creation, enjoying God's creation. I had the opportunity to preach in one of the church plants my last sunday. . I had all my good-bye services at all the church plants and the best gift of all was that the Youth from the main church threw me a Surprise Good-bye, Going away party!!! It was incredible, about 50 of the youth were there to share, in fellowship and also in blessings - we had a time where each one of the youth made a statement or talked about how I had made an impact on their lives and I also had a chance to encourage them and let them all know how much of a blessing they had been to me. It was a great way to end my year in Venezuela, because many times I felt like I was just running from here to there and never really having time or making a difference in anything and God was able to show me and remind me that even our example can make an impact.. Just a friendly smile, a hug, a Hello, how are you? Makes all the difference to some people. I'm grateful that God used me and that God was glorified. I'm going to miss all the new friends I had made in Venezuela but excited to see what the next step for me is.
I will try to keep everyone posted on where I am and what I am doing. As soon as I know, I will let you all know!! :o) Thank you all again. May God continue pouring out His blessings over your lives and over you generosity!! Spread His love to all!!
