update on me and some other things....







Hello everyone! Hope that you are all doing wonderfully. i am attempting to update this thing more often, but i keep having to remind myself, things just get busy and i forget so i apologize. first of please continue praying for Kyleigh, she was doing better and was taken out of hospital, however after only one day out she had to go back in because her wounds were leaking, they had to perform another surgery, and if it doesn't work they will have to do it again! so she's going through a lot. so please continue to pray. also please pray that God would just take care of her long term since the doctors have no way of removing the tumor. And please pray for her dad, Ryan, who is sick with a fever right now. Thanks. Prayer works, so thanks so much for praying with me on this.



As far as me. well i've been busy lately. This term at school is a little bit more work, but i am loving it and learning lots. i go at least one day a week to happy life, (the children's home) to help out there, and then on thursdays i go with Christa to her school is one of the slums here, to help with her students. i help students that need extra attention, i read with some students, and this week i will be talking to her Class 7's (grade 7) for a little bit, sorta like a motivational/bible study thing. so please pray for me. but i am really excited to have that opportunity available to me. God is so good. I've also been going to one church regularly now, and am starting to get involved there, beginning with being a part of an out-reach/evangelism/mission team. So i am really excited about that. so when that gets under way i will have stories for you i'm sure. Overall i am doing really well, and enjoying every minute of being here. i'm officially half way through! which is a little bit hard to believe. i look forward to the many experiences that are ahead of me in the next 5 or so months. Thanks so much for all of your prayers and support.



love, jade

Hey Jade

It is great to hear that you are doing so well. It is also awesome to hear that you are getting involved with so much there.
I can not believe that you have five months left. It has just gone by so fast!

I can not wait till you come home to hear about you trip and see all the pictures.

Try to keep the blog updated when you can. I know I have updated mine in a few weeks, but starting this Saturday I am getting back to it!

Hope fun and see you soon!
