Being Back

I have had times of smiles and times of tears now that I'm back in the States. I have been so encouraged to hear from many friends and family who were praying for me while I was there. My faith is still growing from reflecting on God's work there. Remember my prayer request earlier? I prayed with you that...

"My time [in Thailand] will draw me closer to God and that God will use this time to encourage believers and draw non-believers...maybe even 10...to Himself."

Here's the countdown...

1. Pii Gai-we encouraged each other as fellow believers
2. Mamee-I got to share the gospel with Pii Gai with her
3. Kruu Auy-language teacher who does not yet know Christ...I was able to tell her little bits more about Jesus' love in class and to show that love to her.
