He is so good and so faithful to be our strength and our comfort when we need Him the most! He worked out so many small details from getting my driver's license to meeting people at just the right times. When we are discouraged, He knows exactly what we need because He knows our hearts better than we do! For example, currently I am on a short trip to a neighboring country to meet some more personnel on our team and see more of the area where our people live and how they live. Preparing for the trip was a bit stressful, having to get paperwork and visas done quickly, but it has restored my soul by giving me a taste of a simpler, slower paced life in comparison to the city. I had been on edge the last few days in the city and I did not realize it until we got in the car for this trip and begin traveling through this gorgeous country and meeting the people that I realized the fast pace of the city was getting to me. Hopefully I will get to spend my summers out of the city, immersed in the people, which will make language easier as well :)

One thing that has blown me away on our trip through the country is that not matter how small the village is or in what condition the people live, there stands a well-built mosque in each tiny village scattered across the desert. The contrast is so stark, a false hope, souls longing for something more that they can never attain on their own. Please lift up these people, that their hearts will be unveiled. That He would send dreams and visions and put the on a path that leads them to the Truth.
