From: ^&coming director

It is now 110% official! I'm getting married! (Pause for dead silence and uncomfortable laughter) Just kidding! I don't plan on that happening until after I'm done with four years of college...at John Brown University! That's right, I have now officially decided to go to JBU and I've called all the other colleges and said, "Thanks, but no thanks." Thanks to everyone for all of their prayers, support, and encouragement as I made this most important decision with my parents. It's such a relief to be able to give an answer when people ask me about all of my college plans. Again, thanks so much to all of you!

Stand firm,
David

Answered Prayer

Mrs. H20 wanted me to post this on the blog so that we can see something that has been prayed for, answered. Most of you know that I am planning on going to Africa this May. To get my visa, I had to send my passport to PREACH Evangelistic Ministries (that's the ministry that I am going to Africa with). So I stuck it in a manila envelope with my visa application and visa pictures. Then I made the silly mistake of not certifying and registering (or whatever you do) to be able to track it. Well, it didn’t arrive in the 5-7 days that it was supposed to take. 3 weeks later, my passport still had not arrived in West Virginia, where I mailed it to, and so I'm wondering... where did it go? I can't track it because I didn't certify it. If it’s lost, then I’d have to spend hundreds of dollars (that I didn’t have) to try to get a new passport rushed to me in a week. Of course, if PREACH didn’t get the passport within a week, then I couldn’t go to Africa, because they wouldn’t be able to get my visa in time.

Well, my parents and I prayed about it, and made the decision that we’d wait on the Lord. If God wanted me to go to Africa, then He’d let my passport get to West Virginia on time. If the passport didn’t arrive, then I’d take that as a sign that He didn’t want me to go. What do you know, but just a couple of days before the deadline for my passport to get there, the secretary of PREACH called and said, “your passport and visa application came in the mail this morning!” So more then 3 weeks after it had been mailed, and after about 2 weeks of nervous waiting, my prayers were answered. Praise the LORD! His mercies are new every morning! I am now excitedly waiting for the departure date, and have learned how to trust a little bit more in my Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you, Jesus!

H2O Date

That's right; we have finally gotten around to setting the next H2O date! It is to be held at the S's (weather permitting), on April 21. I am not sure yet what time we will be starting, but at least you now have something to put on your calendars right? As for food, we have decided to stop feeding people at H2O's because it takes up so much time and effort. So eat a lot before you come, and please refrain from complaining about being hungry, because we really just don't handle that very well.
Looking forward to seeing you all,
Nyiad
