Less than 2 weeks to go!!!

These are my last days serving in Southeast Asia. I have 1 and half weeks to go. The past month has been eventful. April started out with my friend Fitri's wedding on Easter day. I was invited to attend the wedding ceremony which usually is only open to family and close friends so it was an honor. I spent a few days with teammates in the west part of our providence...an 8 hour drive on more holes than road:0 We had a great, refreshing time together. It was good for me to visually see how large a providence this is (though I only saw a small portion of it in our 8 hrs of driving) and the vast number of our target people who need to hear the good news and who I need to be fervently praying over. Last week I finished english classes in the public school and had my first of 2 farewell parties last Saturday. So goodbyes are being said, packing has begun, and I have one more farewell gathering next week with the students from the English center. Pray for me...as I say goodbyes that my friends would have ears to hear and eyes to see the One who is the only hope of life, the One who was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities, Jesus who has brought us peace with God through his precious blood (Isaiah 53:5).
