I'll try to do my best blogging this week but I have a busy schedule...
Today, tomorrow and Wednesday, I'm attending a Leadership Conference that Jake is putting on for his staff. It's so amazing. It's based off the Summit Conference by Willow Creek. Additionally, we watched "Dear Francis", a movie about AIDS in Swaziland. I cried and cried.
Thursday morning, I leave for Cochin, India for 3 days. Then I come back to Colombo for a day, then to Singapore for another day and then I'm homeward bound! I'm sad to be leaving Asia so soon, but I miss Derek and all of you. I'll be back to Asia soon enough as my time with Fridsro is far from over. :)
