The Melting Pot. aka Arugam Bay Sri Lanka Ladies and Gentlemen. It is hott!! seriously this is like extreme heat I’m talking about. Makes me glad that I’m sinner saved by God’s grace because I would not wanna be in hell for even a second, since i’m sure it’s hotter then this. Things here are really good. God has given each of us just divine appointment after another, and encourages us daily to walk by faith and not by sight. It’s kinda what I’ve come to realize I have to do here. It’s like we’re taking this little chizzles with us each time, making little dents in the enemies camp, and although I may not see the injury to him, I know it’s deep and powerful, because God is setting up his kingdom down here in good old A-Bay. We met this awesome Danish couple who have been staying at Aloha. We spent a lot of time together and it turns out he had done his DTS in maui and they are both in seasons of life where they are really seeking God’s direction for them as couple. SO it was awesome to just speak into their lives, encourage them and just be with the body of Christ. So sweet. Johnson is here with us and it’ s such a gift from God. The timing of everything. We’ve spent a lot of time with him, just hanging out and being friends. Man when you step back and look at his life and where it is now, the hand of God is so evident, so gracious. Sunday we’re going to go have lunch at his mom’s house, and I can’t wait. I love love love his mom. Oh and his sister is having a baby anyday so it will be great to see her. Johnson shared with me today, that the well they dug at this families house, well they never found water there, but now they have in this other area, and he has like a two day window to try to get the digger out there and also the other workers. He didn’t ask me to do this, but if any of you who read this want to put some money towards this project, I know it would speak endless words of God goodness to him and his family. Right now his family has to walk to a pump down the road everytime they need water, but with this well it would revolutionize their lifestyle. They’d have water anytime they needed just outside their door. The whole project will cost around $700US. I guess if you are interested let me know and I’ll let you know what to do. Even $10 would make a difference. Pray about it and see if God tells you act upon it. A prayer request from us as a team would be for the wood to arrive! Gosh I feel like the past two times this was like my major prayer point. Well it continues to be. We need this wood from the jungle so we can begin builing a meeting place on the property. Everything is in line, the workers, the other supplies we arelady have, we’re just waiting for these 6 large peices of wood and several smaller peices. pray earnstly for WOOD. I’m doing super good. I tried to surf the point today, but yeah i got a little scared and just sat on the shore. ha. But soon enough Baby Beach will be rockn’ and rolln’ and I’ll be out there. Who knows i’m sure tomorrow bright and early mr niklas will wake me up and drag me to the point again so tomorrow could potentially be the last day of my life, since i will probably die out there, jk. but for real, scary place, that point break. Well this is long enough. I have no crazy animal stories yet!! oh wait i do. we found the deadliest snake in our well the other day( the well at Aloha) and yeah johnson kind crawls down, as we’re all around it staring at him, and he puts the snake kinda on the stick and then yells ‘ you guys watch out here comes the snake!!’ then he proceeds to fling the stick in the air with the deadly snake on it, up in the air!!! i just about died!! obviously this plan was not thought all the way thru. At the end of this little adventure. the snake was pounded with a brick, which probably broke it’s back and then caught on a hook, and then beat with the smalles stick ( if you could have seen this man you would have been lauging with me, because there was this HUGE pile of large sticks right beside us and Mufaris brother chooses the smalles little twig of all time, to finish off this snake, i was rolln’ laughing, so Sri Lanka!) well time to go..until next time this is Kristin Flynn signing out from Arugam Bay Sri Lanka, aka the Sun. 4:57 AM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment
