The last few weeks have been incredible!  The Lord has opened many, many doors for us as we travelled doing Asia setup.  While I can't mention specifics for security reasons, praise the Lord with me for His faithfulness and favor the whole time.  I look forward to catching up with you guys in person and through snail mail newsletters when I return home to better explain where I've been and what I've done. 

Meanwhile, let me share a few highlights that aren't super-secret...

After the Philippines, I visited six different places, which means that I rode on

         5 planes in 7 days
               
                        one of which we bought the ticket for only 30 minutes before taking off

        Innumerable passenger trains

                      Most of which took 1-2 hours

            But one was 28 hours and 43 minutes!!!

I also met girls from an unreached people group that I've never heard of, and they attempted to teach me their cultural type of dancing.  (Let's just say that I'll probably keep my day job!)  They also took me out for their native type of food, which was awesome (except for the huge rat that almost fell off the ceiling and landed on our dinner table!)

And, though I didn't visit Korea, I ate some amazing Korean food, which included an octopus pancake.  (Yep, that's right...  Imagine a lovely, fluffy pancake full of thin, squiggly purple legs.  Yum!!)

     Actually, it really was pretty good!

Alright, I guess that's all I can say for now.  I hope you all are doing well.  That's for your constant love, support and encouragement!!

PS--Thank you very much to my H2O friends and to my family members who sent me over here with encouraging cards.  I had a day last week that was rather frustrating, and they were exactly what I needed to lift my spirits.  You guys are the best!
