Well, hello there. Awesome things are happening. Check out my blogger to see what God did on Monday and Tuesday (read: I am too lazy to write it again).
Shawn, my roommate, had been sick for a while. So when BonnieJean and I are walking to school on Wednesday morning and I'm not feeling good, it isn't a good sign. So I asked BJ to pray for me and I also went into our "office" and prayed. Everything went great. I felt fine. And I know it was God sustaining me, because five minutes after my last class, I started to feel horrible. I missed Chinese class that afternoon and felt bad all night. Then Thursday morning I got with Bonnie and prayed again (hey, it worked last time!) and went off to school. Once again, I did fine! Praise God! I'm feeling somewhat better now.
---Pray for our teams health. We majorly need it. Bekah had a fever of 103 on Thursday. Shawn can't seem to get over it. BJ is kinda sick. James is kinda sick. I'm getting better but still have no energy.
---Pray for the church here. Our pastor, Samuel (what a cool name!) and his wife Joy are awesome people. Some of the elders are very cool too. But they've certainly got their work cut out for them. Some people say there are probably only 60 Christian's on the island...and there's 50,000 people on the island! I was walking to church Sunday morning and walked by one of the temples. One man was burning incense while another banged a gong and people from all over came with "paper money" to burn and send to their dead relations. It broke my heart to see all these precious people in bondage. Pray that God will help the church to bring revival to Kinmen.
---Keep praying for James!
---Exciting news! Dad is coming for two weeks in early April! WOO-WHOO! Pray that all his travel would go smoothly and he would know what to pack. We are very much looking forward to seeing him! Last night at a small group meeting I told the church that Dad was coming and that he had been praying for the church for a year now and was really looking forward to meeting them. They're pretty excited too.
