Pictures from the zoo trip a while back:

Additionally, a couple prayer requests for this final week:

• That God will give me strength and sustain me. All I want to do now is go home, and it is kind of depressing to think that I still have 9 days until I get on a plane home. Pray that God gives me the strength and joy to persevere through this week and to leave on a high note.
• Youth group this Friday night...I know what the topic is, but I'm not really getting any enlightenment from God on exactly what He wants me to say. Please pray that He will give me the words and information that I need to share. I'm talking about why we can trust the Bible.
• Safe travels and that the flights get off without a hitch. The pilots are still considering strikes, and I would definitely appreciate it if they wouldn't.

Thanks for the prayers and I will try to give a more informative update later!
