After 4 1/2 months I am finally back home. I flew into Austin December 9th at 8 pm. It is great to be home.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for me while I was gone. God listens to the prayers of His people. It helped me make it through this time and it made a big impact in the work we were doing. The last month went very well. It was a good time of wrapping up and resolution for all of us there. We got baptise three more ladies. That was a great pleasure. Our last night on the island we had a going away party and around 90 people showed up. It was nice to see how much the community had adopted us and wanted to send us off. We were up to the wee hours of the morning with our closer friends. I got to sleep around midnight but then we were up at 4 to get everything out of the house and taken down to the boat. There was a group of about 20 that got up with us at 4 and saw us off at the boat. There were quite a few tears amidst all the goodbyes. It was encouraging to the see the impact we have had and that we will be missed.

It is good to be home, but I won't forget what God has done and taught me. It has been a long hard road but filled with God's grace and provision for me. He is always faithful and has been there for me every step of the way.

But His mission for the world is not over. Please continue to pray for the people of the world who still need to know the love of Jesus Christ! We are God's tools to help reconcile the earth to Himself.... Don't ever forget!!!
