There's an Earthquake Brewing...

Tuesday of this week at the English Village we experienced our first earthquake tremor for the year here.  Our teaching assistants were much perturbed and ran up to us asking "Did you feel that?!! Was it scary?!!" The earthquake was a small one (I think about a 5 or 6 on the Richter scale and was a part of the Sumatra fault line that we are on.  Apparently, there is still tension along the fault line and more earthquakes are expected soon.  Japan was also hit by a minor earthquake on Thursday.  It's pretty exciting over here all in all.

Due to the political tensions in Thailand recently, our scheduled winter camps there have been cancelled, and we will be sent somewhere else for our visa trip in January.  I was sad to hear that, but as soon as we break for Chinese New Year, I will be traveling to Singapore and Malaysia... I wasn't expecting to really see any other countries while I was here, but I'm so glad that God gave me this opportunity and I know that he might be using it to open my eyes to other mission fields that he has...fields that are 'white unto the harvest' and waiting for labourers.
