Happy Birthday Viktor! Wow I can't believe this is actually happening I am going to Sri Lanka AND Bali. Not going to lie I'm super anxious and I've been a little all over the place since the Big Island trip. I had a 10hr buffer in between trips and mentally that is simply not enough. But here I am ready to rock 'n roll. Viktor, Tyler and I got the exit seats and are sitting prime time with our own "living room". Checking in was no big deal and I am starting to settle down. I am the "person" to shmooz, do the paper work and be the what we like to call "professional traveler" of the trip. I am super ready ok.. no I'm not ready but I'm willing. Father I simply pray that through out this and beyond I satay within your will - always. I am so afraid to ever move outside of your will sometimes I question if I can walk at all. But I know that those doors have been opened and only God's power will let me through. We are on our way to Japan! Father be with us as we travel, give us safety, health, rest and constant joy. you are our provider.

First night in Sri Sri. We all went to Ali's for dinner. Super good - slightly sketchy. I had coconut sambul and I'm already addicted. The whole team ate together and Tiff and the family joined us too. I loved it. Life couldn't be any better. My best friend, Sri Lanka, STN, and God's covering over me... could it get better? I think not. Once we got back from dinner we all sat around and heard the testimonies from those from STN that live here. I was so stinking tried I fought to stay up. Koda just cuddled with me the whole night and I couldn't be any happier! Oh and we had some fun wil life come out last night. A mouse ran over my foot, two geckos dropped on Andy Lister and some massive buy was flying around Tyler... Welcome to Sri. I LOVE IT.
Me and Re and Pristine sleep in a tent and I'm sure Jo will come join us soon. It is super hot even at night but I seem to manage just fine. But the fun before we slept was that I cut open Jo's foot with a leatherman to open up this gnarly gnarly infection that she has going. I hope it worked. We'll see.

A little morning time at Aloha Cabanas! So Good. Re and I came over to Aloha for a just a little quiet time and some much needed 1 on 1 check in.
Yesterday was so good! I got to surf, go to church in Tamal, go to Pottivul, take the local kids swimming, love on Tiff and listen to Waxer at Tiffany too! It was so good to have some solid best friend time - the thing I miss most is just living life with Tiff and these few hours are more than a simply encouragement. God's love is just infectious being around her. =) I just can't get enough. Listening to Waxer over there was uhg.. just like home! Than Jo and Babu and Zach danced to a little Justin Bieber. Classic. Now I'm munching on a HUGE fruit bowl with water buffalo curd and some pretty legit coffee. Kaful is the cook - I like him.
Oh and last night we had worship on the beach during sunset. I am are you kidding me. Really? Come on! This is too much - too classic - God you are too good.
Father thank you for another amazing day. Thank you for keeping me healthy. Heal Jo's foot and give her encouragement. Father be with the kids and heal them quickly. God put your healing hand upon Randy and love Tammi in ways only you would know how to give her rest. Father be with Tiffany today and give us time to love on each other and serve the woman of this village.
Real time....
Okay that's it for now.. it's time to get the property cleaned up and we are off to Ella tomorrow! Maybe once the team leaves I will have time to put some images up. But maybe we will adventure the island.. so you'll just have to wait and see. Sri why are you so HOT!
Right now it is 120 degrees in the sun ... without humidity... yup it is the truth. Nuts.
