And We're Back...

Praise the Lord! Except for a few cuts and bruises our team is pretty much back to full power. Isaac and Cristina are up and moving and no longer sleep through the day, and Gabe is slowly rejoining team activities. Seth and Jordan still are in charge of the two teams but Gabe is on the rebound.

This has been another full week of "hello", "goodbye", and "I LOVE JESUS". Our visas ran out last Monday which meant we needed to leave the country before then. So on Sunday we went to Malaysia. We met Gabe and Denver in Ao Nang and piled in a mini-bus for a BUMPY three hour bus ride to the border. At the border we piled out of the van, a patch of tall, light colored hair, westerners amongst a sea f short, black haired locals. We made our way to the immigration offices praying the while way that it would be a non-eventful process everyone went through quickly and then Gabe and I were left, but we had taken our departure cards out of our passports in Bangkok... we needed those cards. But the Lord is our provider and it really wasn't an issue, we walked to another window, picked up a card an continued through. We all walked over to Malaysia... Then walked back. We got back in the van and drove back to Ao Nang where we got on a boat and sailed back to Tonsai. God watched over us and besides some stiff backs and necks we were back safe and sound.

The next few days we went about our business of meeting people and telling them the Good News. Monday and Tuesday; Denver, Jonathon, Mette, Laurie and I spent those days playing volley-ball on Railay Beach with some Danish couples and anyone else who wanted to play... including the locals lady/boys, such a sobering sight to see the deceptive ways that Satan moves in some peoples life.

Regardless of where we've been or what we've been doing, every single one of us had a deep, thought provoking conversation this past week... that's at least 10 people who heard the gospel this week. I LOVE JESUS!!! That has been our rallying cry this week. God good and His son is alive.
