Newsletter and house

Hey all...

Here is the text to my May 5, Newsletter. Had a hard time getting the PDF to be uploadable... next time ok.

"Well I have been on the ground working for a few days now (strange to think that the Philippines feels like home now) and it is hard to describe the way that I feel. Guess there is a lot of anticipation, excitement, a little fear, but there is mostly a sense of joy in the goodness of God my life. So many little things fell into place that just confirmed that this is where I am supposed to be at this time in my life. But on top of that and in spite of any circumstances, I feel a great sense of peace in my heart about being here.
I have a sense of anticipation to see what God will do in the lives of the people here. I know that as we continue to love and serve them that Christ will be revealed to them. One of our interns was discouraged that she was not making a difference in the life of a malnourished child and her mother. I told her to keep doing unto one of the least of these. She kept trying to feed the young child and teach the mother about nutrition. A couple days later our intern was beaming and praising God. She had spent some time praying with the mother and the mom had been crying on her shoulder. This is quite a miracle in itself as this mother has been a hard case for us. Praise God. I have also had the opportunity to spend lots of time with our staff encouraging and building them up. Pray that God continues to use us all and that His glory continues to shine into the lives of the precious people we work with.
Well, that's about all I really wanted to say, being the first one and all. One my first newsletter... ha. Miss you all and please stay in touch. Thanks so much for all your prayer and support. God Bless!"

I am doing good. Been so busy these last few days, have not really had a chance to set up my house, but I have a hammock, a guitar, a bible, a laptop and a place to sleep. What else do I need right? Anyway, thought a good idea to put up a video of my house... where I live. Enjoy... it was raining really hard when I took it, so its hard to hear me talk... in fact it is still raining really, really hard. Miss home, but I am so glad to be hear. This feels like home now, there is no doubt. God bless!
