The next chapter,....

Conference was absolutely incredible! Imagine Missions conference,..only about 10 times more intense. It's like a church family coming back together after two years of not seeing eachother.
I wasn't able to attend any of the main conference, but i was helping downstairs with the children in a VBS program. The kids were so excited! It is very rare that they even get to attend a sunday school class that is in their primary language. This is also the only time that they get to connect with children who are going tthrough similar things as themselves. I quickly learned that MK's (missionary kids) have a whole different set of struggles and emotions as ordinary kids,..in addition to all those "normal" issues.
God did so many amazing things that week! It was incredible to be with a group of people so focused on changing peoples lives. It was incredible, to sit and tell how God has led me, and then when feeling I need to explain what it means to feel at home in a country you've never lived in,...having someone fully understand without explanation. To feel that the world really is completely open and there are opportunities down every road, and its just a matter of finding the one God has for you, but to know that its out there is such an amazing feeling.
The workers for the VBS were wonderful as well. I was certainly blessed not only by their kindness, but also in the ways that God used them.
Before leaving, I had considered bringing a suitcase of craft supplies for the kids. However, i did not feel a peace about it, and it just didn't seem logical. Well, the VBS workers approached me and asked that since they didn't want to bring it all back home, our team would be interested in taking the remaining craft supplies!! Thank the LORD. "God is never late, but seldom early" (thank you Mrs. Reimers). He showed me once again that He will always provide!! It was such a blessing!!
The more time i spend with each family, the more I fall in love with them. The kids aer wonderful, and although they each come with their own challenges, God has put such an incredible understanding and burden in my heart for them.
There is so much that I wish I could be able to do, that i am excited to see accomplished, and yet I havn't got any idea how it owuld be possible in three months. There are also a few teens on the team who I look foreward to getting to know better. Who knows what other doors God may open. All i know is that I already hate that i have to leave in october!
