WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21

We're on our own!

We took Sara and Marilyn to the airport early Wednesday morning for their flight to Guam. It was time for them to leave and move on to other parts of their field. One is reminded in a small way of Paul leaving the friends in Tyre in Acts 21, "And when our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were outside the city; and kneeling down on the beach we prayed and bade one another farewell. Then we went on board the ship, . . ."

Not a whole bunch of for this send-off, but similar in many respects.

Debbie and I were asked to care for a lady from Chengdu, China. Marilyn and Sara had met her in Hong Kong a year earlier and spent the day with her on Tuesday. She was on a tour. Our part was to make sure she got to the Bible study that night. We were happy to do so. Since she was not familiar with the study, she shared her testimony of how she came to find Jesus. There were tears of gratitude.

During the day on Wednesday, Deb and I went exploring for another beach. Here's some of the foliage the jungle had to offer.
