Some random things

Just wanted you all to know...

• I am so excited for my brother Alex, who will be attending Harding University in the fall! He's an amazing kid, and I'm really proud of him. I cannot wait to watch these next 4 years of his life play out.
• Congratulations to one of my very best friends, Shannon, on her new job and upcoming move to Rwanda, Africa to teach first grade! She is a wonderful person who has blessed my life over and over, and I'm so proud of her for taking this step of faith. God will provide!
• Tomorrow some of the guys who regularly hang out at the Zone have appointments to study the Bible with us. God seems to be really opening their hearts, so I'd like to ask that you'd pray for them!
• P'Wah, our fellow Thai intern, is anticipating an interview for a job that she'd really like after this internship, so it would be great if you would say a prayer for her.
• Last Sunday after worship service, all of us interns recited John 1:1-18 from memory. This was a requirement of our internship, and it has been really neat to have that memorized as we've been studying the book of John in equipping time. Memorizing and reciting Scripture took me back to home-schooling and Bandina days. :)
• I got two letters in the mail today! There is just nothing like receiving some snail mail, especially when you're across the world! A huge thank you goes out to the Jains and the Frys - y'all are awesome. :)
• If you haven't read The Five Love Languages, I recommend it.
• Happy 4th of July to everyone! We'll be at another English camp in the mountains, so we're not sure how much we will get to celebrate. We will be thinking of all of you at home while we have a mini-celebration in another country of Red, White, and Blue.
