Update

Dear Friends,

Wow, when I checked this out, I couldn't believe that my last update was in July. And now it is almost November! When I started this site, I definitely intended to keep it updated more often than that. Towards the end of July, I began to prepare for returning to East Asia, which I safely did on August 18th. A few days after I returned, a power surge hit my computer, which had to be returned to the US for repair. In the mean time, I have been using a borrowed computer but have had data scattered in three different places in two different countries and it has been a little difficult for me to keep up! I have also been quite busy with starting ministry on a new campus which has been challenging. I will list some praises and prayer requests below, and try to post some pictures from the past couple of months too. I hope you are all doing well, and thank you so much for continuing to pray for me and the ministry here!

Praises and Prayer Requests

Praise the Lord for safe and smooth travel back to Asia. Settling in was a little rocky when I got back, especially with the computer issues, but praise Him also that things are going more smoothly now.

Praise the Lord for those who prayed to receive Christ through short term summer projects. We have followed up with these students and continue to work and study with some of them.

Pray for the guys that I have been working with to begin to desire fellowship with other believers and depth in their personal relationships with the Lord.

Pray for me as I continue to try to adapt to a very different team situation than I have been in before. This year is the first year that I have been on a team with nationals and an American family with kids. It is a lot of fun but also creates challenges with scheduling and social needs.

I'm sure that's not all, but that is about all I can think of for right now. I will try to update this again soon. Enjoy the pictures below!
