Today was a good day

Just last night I woke up in the middle of the night, and began to think and just couldn’t stop...(why does this always happen in the middle of the night?)… We have several people with whom we are building relationships. This is a long process. Last night in the middle of the night, I was getting discouraged. I realized that all I could do was pray. So, I fell asleep praying…asking God to continue to work His plan out through us here in Kiev and for each of our new friends. This morning we woke up and prayed, asking God to encourage us. After we finished praying, we decided to go to the university (the one Jerry had gone to earlier) and talk to the head of the foreign languages department and tell him again of our desire to help students with English language practice. He seemed genuinely pleased with our offer and is to call us on Monday. Please pray that if this is God’s will, he will call.
We also had a really good time talking with our grandma friends. Our friend Pasha’s husband is sick with gallbladder problems. We have been praying for him. Pasha told our other friend Galya that we are praying for her husband and so Galya asked us to pray for her too. When you read this, will you pray for our friends too?
Today was a really good, encouraging day…Thank you God…

We are praying as well.
I know just what you mean about being awake in the middle of the night :o) I always have to ask for God to mulitiply the sleep He allows me to have to make up for all the time I spend praying when Holy Spirit wakens me...

Thank you for all the updates, Kim. It is easier to feel engaged in ministry with you when we hear about all the ins and outs and ups and downs of life.
