..We have a new neighbor moving in. That will fill all 4 apartments that are here. She is 26 yrs old. Works with ywam also. She is bilingual. I am so blessed to have good neighbors. I did speak to another english school but they have not called back to give me a price. The best english school that doesnt start until the 14th called and said she could come for a free 3 hour sit in class that I think we will have her do next week. No news from the embassy today. That's ok. I am content to know that we made a move this week toward home and family. I am truly thankful for the time I have had here. I KNOW that I have been changed.. I read something today that made so much sense for christians.....It is not what happens TO US that is as important as what happens IN US when we are in trials of life..We are going to have troubles..I want those who watch me and know that I say I am a christian, to see me be a christian..Trusting GOD..Letting go of fear and worry..Having a solid trust and FAITH in the one I say I follow..The one who says..."Fear not for I am with you"..Living a life that shows I belong to him..To hear him say.."Well done" when I stand before him one day. I know that we ALL face personal problems and family problems. I just want to encourage you by saying that GOD can take any crisis and grow us or person and change them. People who are stumbling need our help. ..Be patience. PRAY for them to want change. PRAY that they see only Christ as the solution. PRAY that you will stay out of it.. Continue to let them see us seek GOD for every need. Continue to be good examples of a true child of GOD.I am not saying support the negative behavior...That is where GOD works..Just love them...The two greatest commandments of all are..!. To love the LORD your GOD with "all" your heart, with "all" your soul,with "all" your mind and "all" your strength..2. To love your neighbor as yourself...I say these things because I know of some of the struggles that some of you are going thru.You are in my prayers..and I have found an unbelievable hope while here that GOD is so great to grow us when we really are seeking him.. I havent said it in awhile so I am going to say thank you to everyone again for your prayers and thoughts. I find great joy when I think of the ones I know that read what I write.Please feel free to comment anytime.I love to hear from you too...I do not want anyone to think that I take that for granted..I am truly thankful. My mom is doing very well..She walked with a walker all the way back to her room today from therapy..This is great news..We both so hope that she will be ready to come home when I am. We can really have all the family back together...Thanks for caring for me and my family. Hap is doing well..He is excited at the thought of coming..and we are excited at the thought of having him with us..To put this family together when the perfect time of GOD arrives...
I love you and miss you..and Sandra sends the same..DAD..Please tell Michael how much I miss him and Tyler and Pam..and I will say this publicly that when I return home I want to start doing a Sunday dinner once a month..That is one thing that you do see in this culture is family together...I want to start something that we should have done long before but was to wrapped in the american way of work and kill yourself all week and the weekends are mine..I am so thankful for my family that I would give up all to start this time of family once a month..and I am..I want to show you and the others that I do appreciate and love you all as part of my family..

Good morning,my wife.I hope your sleeping well.It's 6 here .I am going to be busy first thing this morning.I traped another wild hog, it's going to take a few hours to put it in the freezer.I think that everyone has a few friends like Job,there encouraging words,aren't.We love them too,but focus our walk on God.I think your idea of dinner once a mounth with family is great.Long over due.It's easy to forget what really important,to distance ourselves from others problems.We love them and care about them but don't want to hear it.Mike asked me if he and Pam could take Sandra bowling,wow,what a suprise.I look forward to our new family.I am still praying for God's speed.Every day I see how much we need God's grace in everything we do.God is good,all the time.I will call you when I can,in his love, Hap
