Dear friends and children,

This is just a quick note to say hello and to let everyone know that Glenda Evans has offered to help with anything that she coud do for Noahs wedding arrangements. Please give her a call as she has been laid up with a broken ankle that required surgery to repair.

We are all well here. It is very warm and humid and it takes little exertion to really get the perspiration pouring. We vivisted a little four classroon counrty school yesterday. It is parked in a small valley that is completely terraced in rice paddies that explode with a brilliant greeness and orderliness that paralyzes the newcommer. It was like we got to spend time in some sacred storyland world, that only very special children get to visit at the invitation of the Elves. We have made tentative arrangments to give free english lessons to all of the teachers in the school and any other teachers in the area on Saturday mornings. We were visiting with the son of the School Mistress and you would have thought we offered them a free trip to Disney World. There is something about being in the radiance of genuine gratitude that stirs the hearts of men.It was one of those precious and rare moments of congruence in your life, where every cell of yor body sings " This is the right time. this is the right place, just stand up and offer a gift - a little time with you to learn to speak english a little better".

The day even got better in the afternoon when we visietd with the indonesian man who has been the key architect in the provision of clean water to over 80,000 rural Indonesians through the church humanitarian aid programs. It was such a privelege to be in the presence of someone who is absolutely inspired and totally unconcious of it. I will not say more lest I undermine my capacity to write an interesting report for the week. It did rain yesterday afternoon and it was the " Real Deal ". The explosion of the lightening was preceded by by a microsecond of a tearing sound, like a huge ice-field rupturing through the middle. There were only a few lightening bolts but it was quite amazing.

We are thankful to be alive and of service in the Kingdom.


love
