Moncton, New Brunswick

Okay... I'm sitting in the library at the Atlantic Baptist University typing away at this random old computer (Samsung nonetheless). The Heart for Asia Conference is going well so far and it's great to meet lots of faithful prayer warriors in this area. Many have driven up to 3 hours to come here and learn about overseas work and everyone is so thrilled to meet me! I feel very humbled that they would give me an opportunity to speak to them (even though I probably have so much more to learn from them!). My session was at 9:15am and it went really well. I was very calm and relaxed, the powerpoint slides went smoothly and it was good to talk about the ministry that I'm involved in sending short-termers out to Asia :) The other sessions were very challenging as Greg talked about the ministry he is involved in (restricted places) and I was overwhelmed by the needs there are to send workers in those areas. I will remember to direct people that way if I ever encounter anyone that is seriously interested :) The dorm that I'm staying in is great and the view of the forest and the sky are absolutely beautiful... I feel like I'm in Green Gables! The numbers of trees here is fascinating and the air is crisp and clean. I'm probably the youngest one here and yet I feel surrounded by like-minded people... Lots of interesting conversations and discussions...
