Well it's not every day you get an opportunity to go to a remote tropical island and spend a few days. Unfortunately I was there to work and after 2 1/2 days of cutting grass with a strimmer (weed whacker for all you Americans) I was ready to come home. Here is a picture as we approched the island. It is a beautiful island and as there will be a Bible dedication there soon we flew in to prep the airstrip for all the visitors during the celebrations. Click on the pic to make it bigger.


Working all day in the hot sun really saps your energy but praise the Lord for coconuts! Did you know there are over 150 uses for the coconut tree. I kept it simple and just stuck to 2 - DRINKING and EATING! They say the coconut water can even be injected straight into your body through an IV drip ... thankfully I didn't have to try that, but it kept me going. Now all I need to do is to learn how to climb the tree so I can get my own ;-)



Anyway, here are a few more pics from the island ... enjoy!

• Growth - please pray that I will continue to grow in relationship with God and follow His promptings
• Next step - I am looking into different opportunities for my next step after the Philippines, please pray that the Lord will make His plan clear on where I should train and serve next
• Safety - Pray for safety as I travel by motorbike to & from the airstrip about 20-25 mins away
  
• Learning - Pray that as I work on aircraft that i will lean quickly, make good sound decisions, and be of use to those I am serving
  
• Outreach - Please pray that I will be an effective witness for Christ with all that I encounter

Give Thanks!
