Ni Hao!

*blogging from Ch1na, you will notice a change in language in order to protect Shepherd’s Field and their work*

Father was definitely looking out for me as the trip could not have gone smoother! You may recall when I came this summer, that was not exactly the case.  The trip was great, the flights were on time, and ALL my luggage arrived! PTL!

Today is Saturday and all is pretty quiet here at Shepherd’s Field.  I met my roommates, Marissa and Chrissy, who will be here for a year teaching the Baker boys. Marissa is a fellow red head and recent college grad from Virginia and Chrissy has traveled all over the world with YWAM! I'm really looking forward to getting to know them!

During lunch I got to see some of the older kids and Grady gasped “I remember you!” when I walked in the dining hall! It is such a blessing to be back and I look forward to all He is going to do over the next 2 ½ months!

Lots of love and blessings! Thank you for continuing to lift me up!

So long stateside!

The day has finally arrived! It feels as if I've been anticipating today for so long that it would never come.  I board to Detroit at 3:00pm 3:34pm (first delay) today and from there will fly to Beijing.  I should arrive in Beijing late Friday night (which is Friday morning stateside). 

Please be lifting up (praying) for these things:

• His name to be known 
• Against the evil one's schemes
• Travel Mercies- no delays and full luggage arrival
• Luggage to be within weight limits 49 & 50 lbs- PTL!
• A quick adjustment to the time change and jet lag (School starts Monday!)

Next update will be from Shepherd's Field!
Thank you Father for paving the way for me to return. Please continue to go before me on this crazy adventure!
