Prayer Request

We know that people are constantly thinking of us and remembering us in their prayer. We are so thankful for family and friends who support us as we seek to serve the Lord here in Taiwan. Just a few specific areas in which we would love to be lifted up in prayer:

1. I, Elisa, will begin leading the 8th grade girls bible study this week. Pray for open hearts, fast forming relationships, discipleship, and that the girls and I will be open to what God has for our time together this year.

2. Cam and I will be traveling this next weekend to MAK (the Morrison campus at the bottom of the island) to chaperone a sports trip. The boys soccer team (which Cam has been helping to coach) and the 9th grade girls volleyball team will be playing in a tournament. So, I am going as the only girl chaperone since the v-ball coach is a boy. We will get to do a 5 hour bus ride there and a 5 hour ride back the next day.....It will be a LONG trip! But pray that God allows it to be a time where we can really get to know some of the older students at Bethany.

3. Our search for a church......this has been quite hard

4. Friendships....We have made friends but we both are still in need of some really CLOSE friends that we can really connect with. Especially Cam....there aren't many guys here his age that he feels very close with! Pray that God will help us to build relationships and put people in our lives here to fellowship with!

5. School this week....its going to be rough getting back into the swing of things! Especially since the end of the first 9 weeks is quickly approaching and that means report cards and parent teacher conferences :(
