we had about a week of cooler weather and now it's back to being hot and humid. tomorrow is thanksgiving! i have plans to celebrate with the loudin family and a few others. i thought it would be so very difficult to spend thanksgiving apart from my family and while it isn't easy it's not as bad as i anticipated. this is probably because no one celebrates thanksgiving here, its just another day to everyone. its also so helpful that i will still get to celebrate it with my HK family! just another way that God is taking care of me and providing for my every need.
things with the youth are great. we had an afternoon of paintball this past saturday, which was a blast. we all came away with great stories and a few bruises. we have an event called RESOUND coming up on friday. RESOUND is a night of worship for all the kids in HK. we had a great experience last time and i anticipate another awesome night on friday.
i can't express to you how thankful i am for your prayers and how encouraging it is to know that i have so many people supporting me. thank you.
