now that we're here

i can't believe it. I'm in mongolia. and traveled through much of china in 2 days.

God is crazy crazy (i've been saying this a lot) in the way that he works. I am so blessed to be here.

even after 4 hours here. i love mongolia. the land is beautiful. the culture is deep. and the people... the people have such a need of Christ. There is no question towards why i am here in mongolia.

God has been crazy good in keeping us safe through the 14 hour plane ride, the 12 hour bus ride, and the 14 hour train ride. it was unconventional but worth it.

i wouldn't trade that team bonding time for anything.

at the same time, God gave me time to prep my heart for this trip. i think i'm ready to pour out in love. but irregardless.... some prayer reqs...

1) to keep my heart focused on the mission.
MASTER. MISSION. MATE. right? i follow Christ and then, my focus is on the mission (i.e. to spread the gospel to the college students that we will be teaching english to). pray for undistracted time. especially as we women will be working closely with brothers. (you past VSET-ers know what i mean, right?). so prayer for a whole heart devoted to portraying the love of Christ.

2) continued prayer for Mongolia.
this is a country of secularism and political corruption. prayer to go out for the young people who grow up secular. that hearts will be soft and type 4 to recieve the gospel.

3) unity in the team
team is... interesting. so far, fabian, lorraine, jason, irene, conrad, brandon, albert, n' i have been getting a long. but it feels...a bit superficial. prayer that we will go deeper in our faith and deeper in understanding the unity that Christ calls us to as a body.

much thanks, all!

God bless :D
