Todays observations:
1. Andrew Basic and Marc Chewning are having birthdays. So...we thought we'd send a message from the other side of the ocean.
2. Exhausted World Changers can sleep anywhere at anytime.
3. Nutella is goooood!
4. Matt can drive in a different country and not wreck!
5. Music transcends every culture and if you repeat it enough times they can sing it even if they don't speak the language.
6. There is nothing like the love of a child.
7. Crew Chat is fun!
8. Water games are good when the temperature is 96 degrees.
9. THERE IS NO ONE LIKE OUR GOD!
Tomorrow is our showcase where the children will show their parents what they have been learning all week. Pray that we hve a great turn out and that we will be able to have fruitful conversations with adults.
It will also be a day full of emotion as we say good-bye. This is going to be really hard.
Love you guys so much. I'm at the point now where I CAN'T WAIT TIL SUNDAY! I know you probably aren't ready to leave - but I cannot wait for the stories to pour out...

ReplyDeleteOK, I'm looking at that photo of Jackie with the kids and then the photo of Elijah with the kids and I'm sitting at my office computer with tears dropping out of my eyes. Elijah, you are so very blessed to have parents who are on fire for God and have led you to become an ambassador for Jesus . Jackie, you are so very blessed to have children who walk in your footsteps.
Have a safe, comfortable and on-time journey home.
