Greetings fans. sorry for the long delay. But your favorite star is back. (Charity:"Whatever. hahaha.") Anyways, in case you were wondering, I'm doing fine on my home island Yap. I'm here serving under the Palauan Evangelical Church of Yap. My position in the church is Missionary. Yes, I was commissioned in the Palauan Evangelical Church of Palau (our mother church) and have sent me to here. so now I'm here and serving our church. Lately I've been doing some work. For the past two months I've been teaching the Bible study of our church, also teaching in Youth bible study, and also helping with other church duty. Anyways, I have a few prayer request. Please for the bible study. Many times I worry about teaching the wrong ideas but I have faith in God (but i do check my sources). Pray for our church. In the past week we had a funeral because one of our members is now with the Lord. Also pray for our young people (youths). Pray that we can reach out to them through some of our youth activites. Alrite that's all for now. Thanks again for checking my blog and praying for me. See ya.

In case your were wandering, i'm not died. Maybe not yet. But sorry for the long waited post. It's been a hictic semester for me. You know trying to finish that last assignment, making reports, etc. Well, now I'm over that. No more homeworks for me. No more reports. No more staying up late for last minute assignment. Yes! I have completed all my courses for this semester and my whole time in PIBC. I am an official graduate. Right now it's freedom from here on. Although I feel happy about finish PIBC, I also feel kinda sad also. I will miss PIBC. The friends I've made. The fellowship I had with them. The endless laughter together. (sniff, sniff). HUH. Well I guess I have to move on. At this time I would like to take tis opportunity to say my thanks. First of all I would like to thank you all for your support for me(the readers of this blog). Your prayers really helped and encouraged me to continue on. Please don't stop praying for me. The staff and teachers at PIBC. I know you all get headache from all my nonsense in class and out but hey, you gave me headache too. With all the work. The guys at the dorm and the dean of men and assistant dean of MEAN (LOL). And the sisters of the women's dormitory. Also my friend Mel. Thanks alot for everything. To all my friends and famliy. And most of all to God who strengthens me everyday to go on and His promise to complete a good work in me. Okay if i continue I might cry. Thank you everyone. Please continue to remember me in your prayers especially now that I'm graduating and trying to decide what to do with my life. All right thanks again everyone. Be seeing ya all soon.
Today is the Stinnettes' last day on Guam. As I've shared before they will be leaving to the U.S. so that Steve would get his eye surgery. This short clip was put together by Steve and I. The clip is a short summary of Steve and Ann's time here in Micronesia. They have served the Lord here in Micronesia for over 20 years. So let's remember them in our prayers especially Steve as he goes through the surgery. Thank you Steve and Ann Stinnette for your faithfulness to God and serving Him here in Micronesia. You will be missed.
Three weeks have already passed since the school started and only 12 more to go. It's so surprising to realize that 3 weeks has already passed. Man time flies! Anyrates, what's been happening? This will be Steve and Ann's last week on Guam. If all is planned well then they will leave this Wednesday for the U.S. Please let's remember him in our prayers as goes back for surgery and that he will be well. We will miss you Steve and Ann. WAAAIIIOOOO! Also last week I've finally met with Hiob, Holly, and Steve as we planned for my intership. It's seems like they are working on it (getting the right contact, where I will work in Thailand, etc.) and hopefully when I am finished on December, I'll do my intership in Thailand in January. Please pray that God will guide us and help us make the right contact and plan it out well. Also pray for me because this is a big step for me and I'm willing to give it try and hopefully in the future I can be a missionary there in Thailand. Well, that's all been happening here. Please continue to pray for our staff and faculity and also pray for the students here at PIBC. Thanks again for your prayers and support.
It's that time of year again. Yep! Today is the first day of classes to begin their sessions for Fall Semester 2007. This year there is an estimate of 90 students or more. Both full-part and part-time. Most of them are returning students and also transfers from Tol Campus. Not a whole lot on the freshmen. Also this year both dorms are holding about 35-36 students each. WOW! People are trying to squeeze in together and spaces are running out. Pretty soon we'll be sleeping on top of each other (sounds wrong). Another great news I have only 3 more courses to graduation. 2X WOW! Man, I'm was really relieved when I found I need only 3 more courses. Waaaiiiooooo. Can't wait to march down the aisle. But also I'm feeling sad cause I'm leaving behind a really great family here. Sure gonna miss them. Well that's all the good news that happening here. Just have a couple of prayer request that i would like to ask you all to pray for: 1. Pray for the students. Especially those who are trying to finish up. Pray that we can focus on our studies and work hard for the classes. 2. Pray the staff and faculity. They have a lot on their hands. Especially because Steve won't be Campus Director anymore. They are trying to adjust with the situation. ALso pray for Jens as he takes on the responsibilty as the new Campus Director. 3. Pray for Steve S. He will be leaving soon. He needs to move back to the states and be close to the hospital so he could do his regular check ups. You can read more about him on his own blog. 4. Pray for me. Yes, I'm so excited about graduating but not about leaving PIBC. I still don't know what to do after PIBC. However, I ask that you pray for me because in January, I plan to go back to Thailand to do my intership their and also see if this what God wants in my life. To be a missionary there. Please pray that God will give me guidance and wisdom in making this decision.
Well I guess that all. Thanks again for your support and please don't stop coming by. See ya.
Hey everyone. We are back on Guam! Just want to say thanks again to all who supported by reading this blog and praying for the team (both). (sniff, sniff) My heart is so grateful. The trip was a great experience for me. God has open my eyes to things that I have not seen. One thing that really stood is that before I left to Thailand, I got some good lessons on Joshua Project (remember Steve's presentation). But it was one thing to learn about it than to experience it. Thailand happens to be in that area what Joshua Project calls it the 10/40 window (check the website for more details) and also the country is 99% Buddism. Along with my team (TESL), we have lived in village where the villagers have not heard the Gospel. God opened my eyes to see that and that they need to know about His messege. I think of what Jesus told His disciples "Look! The field is ready for harvest..." Now I know what He means. God has opened my eyes to see and experience that people are ready to hear God's messege and that they need to hear it. And so I am thinking to go back to Thailand. To do my internship there and while I'm doing it, I want to know that if this is what God is calling to do in Thailand. To be a missionary there (sounds scaring to say). So I'm asking you (who are reading my blog) to pray for me. I do have plans after PIBC but if this is God's call for me then... Just please pray for me. I want to go back and see if God is really calling me to be a missionary there. I'm getting scared as I talk more about this because of what missionaries go through as they are "missioning." But please I ask for your prayers. I have one more semester to go. Like I said, I do have plans but that's Mac's plan. I want to know what's God's plan. So please pray.
