Around the world in 2 weeks :)

I thought I'd post quickly while facebook works hard at posting some of my 4-500 photos. East Asia was amazing. I loved it. God moved. God changed us. God changed others. God ... well He did everything and worked in ways that only He can get glory for. I hope to send out emails with stories and post what I can on here but just know that I appreciate ALL of your encouragement and prayers. I believe they were answered. I am different because of what He has done. I cannot wait to share with you just a little of the things He has done and is doing and share some funny experiences (like having fried bees for dinner) but I simply want you to know that I am incredibly thankful for you.

Here are just a few things that I need prayer for:

*Tiredness/sickness/exhaustion/jetlag/food adjustment

-God worked through it but I've been really congested and sick for the last 2 weeks. He was amazing and faithful but now that I'm back, I'm a little nervous about going back to work, starting a new job and a new semester. Please pray for healing and that I would adjust to the 12 hour time difference. We also had trouble getting back (16ish hours pretty much turned into 3 1/2 days of travel due to weather issues, delays, cancellations and general cultural/language barriers). We haven't slept well (in weird hotels, in better hotels, in an airport, etc) and could really use your prayers as we adjust to the time different and the difficult past few days). Also, food is much different here. Please pray for our bodies as they readjust to American food!

*Communication with our new friends and our new "family members"

-Pray that I would not ignore my new friends and that I would be consistent in talking with them! Pray that we would also be an encouragement even though we are so far away!

Ok... that's all I have for now. I love you all dearly :) Thank you again for your presence in my life. You mean more than you know.
