So this is my last night of outreach, we leave tomorrow afternoon for Aus, then to NZ. We have a 10 hour layover oh no!!! Anyways i have some extra time before we go spear fishing tonight so i thought id give an update. It was a bit hard comming back to Guam, almost like stepping back in time - like going tback to your old high school or somthing, because we had been here and been plugged in, then we moved on. So it was hard, but we had to remember that there was things to be done here and good things to happen. So we had a big outreach on the beach on Saturday with music and our skits and local churches doing stuff. Yesterday we did a chapel service which was our last ministry time where i got to speak and share my story and things ive been learning. Tonight we celebrated our outreach with a big feast - oh man this was good. And tomorrow is packing and leaving!!
The outreach has been really amazing. We had some time at the beach today just to process what we've seen change in our lives and ways we've seen God move and when i really think about it there are so many things that ive been wrestling and growing through. Its really quite incredible the ways ive been able to see the gradual growth. Then we planted a coconut tree to symbolize all the seeds we've planted here - the ones we might never see grow but we just trust God with. Good things take time.
So now we head back for a week of debrief in NZ. It will be exciting to see the other team again and share stories....but then i will be home exactly two weeks from today!! Nuts.
Anyways, gotta get going. Those sleeping fish dont know whats comming!!

Yes! All kinds of seeds all over the place. And they all matter, even if we don't know of their existence, or know what will come of them. I think the beauty of life is yours. I shall rejoice with your person upon our reunion.
Perhaps outreach never really ends.
Not only have you planted seeds in your outreach, but He has planted seeds in you. The challenge is to be "good soil" so that the seeds may flourish. Your work is not finished, yet.
We are very proud of you and can hardly wait to see and hear you.
Blessings,
