This update is straight to the point because I have a point to make. I am pleased to announce that we have a family member and his name is Oliver! Oliver has been one of our closest friends since about October or so. He’s been a regular attendee of our Bible study, he even vowed [...]
I hope all bodes as well for you as it does for me. I’m doing quite well over here as this year in Asia winds down to its end. Three weeks left! I’m not going to lie, I’m excited to come home and see everyone again and eat American food, but I wouldn’t want to [...]
It’s been a little while since my last update, so I apologize for that. The computer that I had been using more or less died and would have cost and exorbitant amount of money to get fixed, so I’ve been getting my work done at the net cafe when I’ve had the chance, which has [...]
Things have been going terrifically here. We’re making our final preparations to begin our new fellowship and have even set a date for the first meeting! Between then and now we will be holding a boot camp for all our friends in the family, in which we will cover many aspects that they will need [...]

Things have been going quite swimmingly in our team, seeing as we’ve initiated the pool party into our life here. What’s this pool party you ask? Some of you who’ve been on this mailing list since last trip may know it better as dunking. Still not sure. How about in the context of John the [...]
This past weekend we had our Christmas party for our friends. Our five member team invited everybody we knew to one of our apartments for the celebration. Due to exams and study, many of our friends couldn’t make it. That left us with only seventy people that showed up. That’s right, SEVENTY, not seventeen, or [...]
Things are moving along here at a steady pace and it is pretty awesome. As of now, our city has seen nineteen new members come into our family! Young as they may be in this family, they are growing up fast, being taught more from the Word and pouring out into their classmates. It’s terrific. [...]
(These past few days have been so abundantly exciting that I’ll skip the small talk and open this week’s story with a slightly ambiguous opening line.)
