Time is flying!

I cannot believe it but we are actually flying to America on Tuesday at 2:45 a.m.!!!! So we are beginning to prepare for this international journey!!! We are so excited, but a bit sad too. Having the team all back together again has been such a blessing. I cannot express it in words – but there is such unity and love & I will be sad to leave it for even for a few weeks. On the other hand, I am beside myself about getting to see my family & our friends! The kids are so excited too! They have had a blast playing with the cousins & now even more to look forward to seeing Mimi & Papa & all their family and friends too!


 

We have officially started Thai school & it is going GREAT! I am so happy for this opportunity! Trent and I are in a class together & Jackson, Braden & Trinity are in a class with all their cousins. So we are all learning Thai! About time as we have lived here 15 months!!! Anyway, we are getting it & please pray against discouragement as this language is VERY difficult. There are tones & pitches and if you mess up in one area you could actually be saying a completely different word. Wow! We need prayer J

The discipleship program has restarted & Koh Ling, Koh Ow & Ko Yea Win have all committed to another 3 months. We are excited to see the fruit of Christ in their lives. We pray that these men will be future leaders & take the Gospel to other Burmese people.


 

Discipleship family style….. Well! That is our word for 2008! We are FAMILY! Meaning our kids will be going through discipleship training as well & we will all be out in the community with the children in outreach! I am so excited for our children to grow up preaching Christ crucified as a normal part of their daily life! Hallelujah!


 

GLORY TO GOD!
