leaving on tuesday so i will try this again

hey to all
cant believe i get another chance to inform yall on whats going on here...its a blessing in itself to get to jot down my thoughts to you all...i havent been able to check my blog comments from yall, because we only get to use "that" computer on saturday afternoons...so thank you if you have posted something for me...it truly is a huge encouragement to read things from my people. if you have something you may want to tell me and dont want to post it you can email me at my address (in an earlier blog).

well, we have 17 days left until we reach U.S. soil but our work here is not done...we have so much loving left to do...its an amazing opportunity to share with these people something bigger and better than their fancy cell phone holders and their hero yao ming...

im pretty sickly these days...i have the sinus stuff...but i know father will give me the endurance to complete next week's excursion. im excited to be stretched more...

our group seems to be bonding well...our leader is so tight...bro is a pure example of humility and i need that...

i just got out of a hair cut/45 minute massage that cost $1.24. pure! ill take it...

i will continue my list of a few things that chinese people love: crown molding, michael jordan, celine dion, they still love staring at us, saying "hullo" (british style), hot food, very little leg room...

learning much about grace...and that i dont possess much of it...forgive me of that...learning a little of what love looks like, hope that father will give me the ability to love more like him...unconditionally...wow, what a challenge...

hoping that you would join me in lifting up our group by the direction of r chapter 12?...its been such a blessing to use fathers words to direct my weakly attempts at pr. cant thank yall enough for your support of our team...i know that you are lifting us up and we need it!

jon!!
well i thought i'd finally make the plunge and leave you a comment. i must confess, that my lack of comments are probably due to laziness or even pride, but the lack of comment is not due to lack of thinking of you and excitement about all y'all are learning and experiencing. you'd better shake off those sickly feelings right now....and as you get back to feeling 100% know that it's not your strength you're working on anyway so keep walking in obedience,strength, faith, boldness and confidence...i talk to dad about you and your team and everyone you encounter constantly and i look forward to hearing more about everything. before this gets to be too long i'll just end it here! i'm pretty completely glad i know you.

(maybe i'll become a regular commenter...who knows)

Jon
I'm here again in the Blinn computer lab thinking about what you are doing. I talked to Drew yesterday about camp and all that Pops is doing there. It is amazing to see how He works in every situation. I don't know if you'll be back for the Fourth, but if you are there is gonna be a sweet hang out time at Horseshoe Bay with Drewbie. I hope you are feeling better man. Keep up the good work! You are cool

sounds like you have had plenty of adventures and will have lots of fish stories to tell when you get back. enjoy the time you have left because nothing here is changing except the heat. everyone from this house says Hi and we look forward to your safe return.
