Indonesia, Soon!

I can't believe that I'm leaving soon! I feel like I've hardly had time to catch my breath! It's been a crazy busy week!

I'm exhausted... this has me looking forward to the plane ride over there. -No phone calls, people pulling me in different directions, or deadlines to meet. It'll just be me, my random thoughts,
books, and Leela! :) I guess the only down time I'll have is on the plane...

It seems that I'll be conducting my classes the day after I arrive! Yikes... But I'm excited about it all and can't wait to meet and talk to the ladies at the village!

Prayer Requests

A is for Angela in Asia :)

My support letter mentioned a few things, but here it is in a list with a few additional items.

Please pray:

Packing:
We are taking a long list of things over, so hopefully we won't go over weight or too over weight... and that our luggage arrives safely at our destination as we will.

Protection:

Both physically and spiritually.

Our flight is about 15 hours long with a layover in Singapore.

We'll also be traveling to various places on the island & visiting various work places.

That Leela & I will be of sound mind, body, & spirit. -That we will be able to be focused on the tasks at hand & on God.

Relationship building:
That God would work in the hearts of those we will
encounter. -That they will be able to see His grace & love through us. Also, that their hearts will be soften to His voice.

Health Ed. Classes:
That the ladies will understand what I'm trying to teach them
& that the hands on learning will help them & empower them to live healthier lives for themselves & families.

Also that the reproductive health section will be well received & taught. I'm not married, so there is a possibility that they won't accept information from me on that topic.

Health:
I'm still getting over my cold. So please pray that I'll get better by the

time we leave & that we'll be healthy throughout the trip.
