The concept of looking back over the last week and recounting the events in chronological order is nearly impossible this week. Instead I will do my best just to update on the major events. The past week has been quite chaotic, as most of you have heard Gabe has been sick the past week so our schedule has been quite screwy. We still get out and climb and the Lord has blessed us with many wonderful conversations, some only go as far as explaing what YWAM is all about but others go as far as to discussing the rededication of ones life to the Lord.

This has all been wonderful but kinda difficult with the weight of worrying about Gabe on our minds. But praise the Lord he is back on the road to recovery. He should be coming back today from his time in Krabi trying to get it all figured out. This morning Seth, another YWAM team leader, informed us that he had heard from Gabe and that he is feeling much better today.

Speaking of Seth, for those who don't know who he is, is one of the other school staff from back in New Zealand. He and his team, including co-leader Jordan, were up in the North of Thailand when they heard that Gabe was not feeling well. They rushed down here and arrived on Sunday so that Jordan could go with Gabe into town while Seth stayed with us and our two teams became one large family. As well as Seth and Jordan's team coming to support us so is Denver, he should arrive today for his pastoral visit.

Through all these twists in turns in our adventure here God has kept us safe and the YWAM leadership has handled it brilliantly. My fellow teammates and I have kept up our ministries going and have continued to share God's provision in our lives with those we meet, this has been a wonderful testimony of His power and has even changed a few people's vocabulary here. One man that we met here switched from saying "I hope" to "I'll pray". This same man has also talked with us about rededicating and how God has worked in his life.

Through it all God has kept us safe and pushed us through, on to deeper commitment to Him. He IS good and He DOES love us. He WILL keep us safe and we WILL continue to do his work.
