Another in the Family!

 After returning to our city, we had only a couple of meetings scheduled, and some plans we had for a beach trip with friends fell through. We thought it would be an uneventful week, but boy were we wrong! We've met with D- this week he brought a friend (A) with him. We went to a Buddhist temple that is very popular for tourists, and it was inside this temple that I was able to share the Story with him for the first time. His family is Buddhist, and it seems like that is the only thing currently holding him back from receiving the Gift. He's sent some encouraging messages our way since then so we feel that the Holy Spirit is really working in his heart.

We also were able to meet with one of our Sisters here, who introduced us to some of her friends who attend her university. We were able to Share with both of them, and one of the girls- L- has joined the Family!  It seems as though all of this movement if happening right as we are about to leave, which is hard. Leaving this place will be really difficult. It has stolen my heart, and my new friends & Family here will be extremely hard to leave.  Our task is big, and we can't do it along. We want to be faithful to pour ourselves out as long as we are here, and we want to ask for more to be sent to finished the work that has begun. The Father hasn't forgotten this people- that much is clear- and we must only be faithful with the portion given to us. One sows, another waters, but He bring the growth.  With only 2 weeks left, it's time to finish strong.

Worthy is the Lamb,
M & Ernest
