Swine Flu, Typhoons~

So, the Swine Flu has died down, which is a blessing (considering that right before i came back to the island, the whole bible college had it almost). I have only had a bad cold/stomach flu being here so far, and that passed in two days. Praise God, i think He is strengthening my immune system!

(something my brother drew while we were chatting)

While that has died down, a storm is brewing as i type this. A typhoon is hittign the island! But, it is supposed to be moving in a different direction, so we areo nly getting the tip of it, if not even that, but just the winds. We typhoon-proofed the cafe and our girl's house to protect againts the winds (which are harsh enough to blow me around while i am standing).

It's sort of exciting (partly because we have chub parties here if there is a bad storm), just to see a different kind of a storm. In Michigan, we have tornados, and in california they had earth quakes. It's sort of strange how it's not the same wherever you go (Ana and Christina were complaining nothing exciting happens where the come from haha).

Everything is going awesomely, the Lord is doing so much in our lives. Each student is being changed, and stretched. I didn't expect it to be such a stretch with the things i am beign stretched with (thought it would be in different areas of my life). But it is all soo good, no matter how hard my flesh wants to make it, Jesus makes it easy if i just yield and submit to Him (i have already felt that relief several times).

This friday, the students are leaving for the mission trip to South Korea. I am sad that i am not going, but i know the other students are going to have their socks blessed off completely. The people there are so impacted by a life lived for the Lord at such a young age, its amazing what God does through just that. Please keep them in prayer, that they would be led, grown, see God's love and Spirit working, and to have the most amazing life changing time ever.

I wish i had more pictures to put up and show you all the little things i get to be a part of everyday. If you get the time and think of it, please pray God would provide me a camera so that I could share the wonderful things He is doing out here and in my life. Thank you greatly.

A cool thing i read, "to shine Your love; even in the least of things."

God bless.
