CHINA 5

Hey Friends,

This one should be a little shorter since I just wrote you.

Couple of yarp requests mostly.

First, I am going to be teaching on Sunday (which will be Saturday night for you) on temptation. I am a little nervous about it, although I have confidence in the Father. Please ask that I would be given the gift of teaching, if only for that day. It would also be good if maybe some of the thoughts and speaking points could come together by tomorrow so that I am not cramming on Sunday.

Second, I have a lot of students with minor health problems. Nothing to write home about, but so many that it keeps me very busy all day. I can barely keep track of who I need to check on, and I keep a running log. Also, along that same line, would you yarp that my students would remember to drink their water. I think that 80% of their ailments start because they didn't drink enough water.

Third, this is a good one, worth thanking the Father for. Over the last few days, although running like crazy over health issues, I have been able to sit and have really good one on ones with a bunch of the girls. Thanks for 2 main things. One, I am thankful that the Father is using me in ways that I feel that he has gifted me, other than administratively (I have had a hard time with that this summer until now). Second, I feel that the Father is doing great things in this team and is drawing them to himself, which is awesome to be apart of.

Last, well, I don't know that there really is a last. I am tired and ready for bed right now. It's about midnight here and I really need to shower still (aren't you glad to know that!! It was 93 today, the humidity, well you can see the humidity in the air, and our electricity was out until about 1:00 this afternoon. Which meant no fans and definitely no AC. Nothing to cry about, just makes things a little rougher and sweatier.)

Thank you to everyone who has been responding to my emails. Your words and encouragement really mean a lot to me. Sorry if I am not able to respond right away if at all. I don't know when I will get to use the internet and when I do it is generally pretty late at night. So, know that I am reading them and am super grateful!!

Love and Hugs,

Mags
