Hello friends from around the world!  This week there was much to be thankful for and I’m excited to see how God is continuing to cultivate a thankful heart in us all. 

 

Join me in celebrating all the wonderful things God has done for you!  Here’s some things I’m thankful for in our last week in Indonesia…

An incredible church that has given us so much

Friends that helped us carry our bags and dropped us off at the train station

Being able to take a few days to go to Bali!

How faithful he is to do good things in us

God’s grace

Basically this last week in Indonesia has been simply astounding.  I’ll be posting a video recap of this month sometime soon so be sure to catch that! 

 

I’m super excited to be moving into this month in the Philippines with everyone.  I know God is going to continue to move in such mighty ways! 

 

With great love,
