So it is officially one week until I leave to go home. This past weekend has been very difficult for me spiritually. I haven't felt God's presence as strongly which is strange because amazing things have been happening and people have been seeking like crazy. I also have become a little sick. Yesterday I had a fever and body aches but I am feeling better today. hopefully it is over and I can enjoy my last week here with the students. Please pray for all of us to that end. That our last week would be special and glorifying to God. Also that we would all be well because several of us have been sick or hurt in different ways and I think that satan is trying to get us down.
I really want to continue doing what I have been doing here when I get home. Being open about God and about Jesus and not afraid to share him with others because he is life. There is no life outside of Christ. Please pray for all of us volunteers that we would transition well to life at home and that the people here that we have become close friends with would transition well also. I know that they are already very sad about us leaving. Keaw seems he is going to cry any time someone says that we are leaving. He has been very sad in the past and I think that God used us to bring some joy to his life but I hope that he will seek his joy from God and continue to seek even after we have left.
Thank you for praying for me this summer. I have appreciated it so much and all of your comments have been so encouraging and I have really received them. I am excited about what God is going to do in this last week and hopefully I will have something wonderful to share with you when I get home about what He did this week.
Lastly, Corinne is being baptized on Sunday...she is one of the volunteers and Nancy, the Thai girl who became a Christian at English camp may also be baptized. We have invited many of the students to come and watch so please pray that they would witness Corinne's step of faith and that they would want the light that we carry inside of us. People I know will be there are Keaw, Ak, Art, Carol, and Jade. Hopefully Piak will come also. Please pray that God would use this to bring these people to him.
