Fit Soul? or Fit Body?

..."we dread malarial fever, and fear lest it should get hold of us and drive us out of the mission-field. Should we less dread this spiritual malaria, the fever of a restless soul...surely this is the most dangerous form of fever possible. A fit soul in an unfit body is doubtless uncomfortably crippled, but it is not wholly ineffective; but what is the good of a fit body with an unfit soul inside of it? It may as well go home at once for all the fighting it will do in the mission battlefield." Amy Carmichael

Please pray for us. This is Warfare, and we feel our un-doneness. We will not give up, but we do need your prayers.

First Visitors

We just enjoyed a visit from John and Debbie Rumble.
It was such a blessing to be with them again!
We packed a lot of things into just five days...
the children had plenty of ice cream and rides with John
on the motorbike, we went to an elephant farm
and to see Nui's mother, and another day we went to
Compassion Home, a youth hostel for orphans and village
children so they can go to school nearby.

Anniversary Trip

Since Martin had a few days off, right over our wedding anniversary, we decided to take a little trip. We stayed all night at the project where our friend Wah works. This project, called UHDP, is a test farm where they raise gardens and animals. They then help nearby poor villages in learning to raise their own food, plus assisting them in other ways. The next day, we visited two villages - the first one was one UHDP is helping. The next one was tucked away in scenic mountains, with lots of farming around. This village is tribal Chinese, and very touristy.
