Two weeks... we're half way there and living on heaps of prayers, literally.

Daunavan and I were talking last night about how much spiritual warfare goes on here. I was saying how I feel like I can only give 50%, because the other 50% of the time we have to refocus, reenergize, refresh ourselves spiritually, physically & emotionally. Therefore we feel like we aren't making much of an impact, although we know that this isn't true. It just seems to take so much more effort to actually get things done here. Interesting...

Other than that, we are officially taking over English class for our last 2 weeks. The St. Marc base currently works with 3 tent cities (housing refugees from the earthquake), and as of yesterday have taken from the UN the project of building and long-term care for 2 more tent cities. So the tent city closest to the base (10 minute walk) is the one that we've been investing and building into. Cathy, our neighbor in the tent next to us, started up a program for 5 weeks and we are taking it over for 2 weeks and are all praying for someone to continue after we leave. It should be really fun - growing and stretching for sure! But the students there are so wonderful, all eager to learn and have beautiful spirits. It will be really fun pouring into them and then learning from them as well!

In other news, we woke up today to weather feeling like we were in Canada... I almost put on a pair of jeans. Glorious feeling! But now I think the sun has broken out so it's no more. Oh well, we were grateful for it while it was here.

Love you all lots and miss you too. Praying lots for you all back at home!
