Please feel free to comment to let me know you're reading! I love you all and will update soon!
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!!!!! It has been far too long since my last update. So many things have happened and I have been so busy that I keep pushing this blog further and further down my to-do list. So now I will do my best to update you on what has been going on this last month.
June 26th – 30th I was in Kota Kinabalu (KK), Malaysia. This city in east Malaysia, on the island of Borneo, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I was sent there as a part of a small team to assist in a ministry teaching refugee children from the Philippines and Indonesia. I have never been more hot in my life, but it was an awesome experience that I will always remember.
July 4th is an interesting holiday to celebrate outside of the United States. You find out very quickly that no one else cares that the American colonies won their independence from Britain in 1776. My fellow Americans and I decided that everyone here in GET would celebrate with a potluck dinner and swimming party. We had a marvelous time eating hot dogs, potato salad, red beans and rice, cornbread, and pavlova (an Australian dessert).
I had a nasty run-in with a cold this month…I am finally better, thanks to good antibiotics and your prayers.
The most exciting thing that has happened this month is that I finally know where I will be spending the next 6 months of my life. My internship with GMT will be spent in…..drum roll please……VIETNAM!!!!! That’s right, Vietnam…Hanoi, actually. GMT has an orphanage and music school in the capital city, and I will be teaching English there for the next 6 months with my new friend from GET, JeremyPhua.
Please pray:
That God will continue to bless the work of GMT and its staff
For clarity of vision for the plan God has for me in Vietnam
For renewed health
Thank you so much for your continued support of the plans and purposes of God through me.
