This time in Hong Kong has taught me so much. God has been revealing so many different things. I have been reading about His faithful servants (Abraham, David, and Mary mostly). I wrote in my first blog about the serious feeling of inadequacy that i had. Haha that is just so funny to me now because the Lord is teaching me that this has absolutely nothing to do with me. That He will get things done with our without me but as His child He has called me to be His servant and to step aside and let Him work through me. I am really beginning to understand the truth behind behind “dying to ourselves.” I am so privelaged and honored to be used in the way that God is using me. Today was a successful day carrying the Bibles into China and i thank the Lord for blinded eyes and open doors. Sooo, our flight leaves tonight for INDIA!!! I am so excited, i can’t wait to go back! Thanks everyone so much for your comments. It is so encouraging to see and I feel very loved 
I miss each of you, Keep praying and I will write soon!!
The Last of Hong Kong!

Ryan,
Your comments today remind me of Queen Esther, who was used entirely by God to save her people and even her Uncle Mordecai from certain death. I love the book of Esther bc you cannot find the name of God mentioned one time, but He is all over that book!
Continue to let God use you in every possibly way. Remember that sometimes just surviving certain tasks without falling apart IS our best and in those times God is not ashamed of our performance. He’s proud of us for fighting overwhelming human emotions to do His will. God isn’t interested in our stellar performance but in our hearts. He loves our WILLINGNESS and OBEDIENCE despite our insecurites. We love you and are praying for you.

Ryan, everytime I read your blog I get excited all over again about you being on this trip. This is so awesome, and I CANT WAIT to hear about everything in full detail (the whole waterfall, rock thing on the blog before sounds INCREDIBLE by the way). Keep up the great work- you’re constantly in my prayers, I love and miss you SO MUCH!
