I am alive and back home. Thank you so much for your prayers. There were a few times where I know God had called some of you to pray at that moment and angels surrounded us and kept us safe. I am working on a Vlog (Video Blog) where I'll have pictures and a few video footages to put up hopefully on Sunday or Monday to recount the last 2 weeks.

But I just wanted to let everyone know that after coming back to the house we found out that it had been broken into while the girls were gone in South Africa and we were on our walk. I knew that it would be, it was just one of those feelings, but when we got there the girls recounted to us what they saw when they got back, that the house was trashed, things were thrown everywhere all 3 of the girls rooms where completley messy but the guys' was untouched. We figured they hadn't stolen anything from ours. What they did take from the girls was random, bags, make-up, meds, teapots, some money. Just random. But when I was lying in my room contemplating things I looked in my closet and noticed that my camera bag was haning funny, and after one look knew that my camera, my Nikon D-50 had been stolen. It was a great camera one of those really nice ones, and not only that going through more of my closet I found out that my computer battery, electric razor, computer games, some books, and a few other odds and ends were stolen. So I have been robbed from and it's a horrible feeling. I hope none of you need to go through that feeling of violation.

Also last night I found out that Serena, the lady that I've prayed for so much and spent so much time with in A-Ville last semester had passed away in January. It was pretty hard blow to the gut to find out. The one thing that I am thankful for is that I found out at home and didn't walk to her house with high expectations only to find out that she hasn't been there for the last couple of months.

My emotions are kind of all over the place today, and would continue to ask for your prayers.

One neat thing is that through my mouring and anger last night, I spent some amazing time with God who is telling me that He is planning something big. I am not sure what it will look like, but I feel a change coming. I ask that you would pray, that in whatever form it takes that I would be open and willing.

Thank you all once again for keeping Michael, Ben and I in your prayers the last 2 weeks.
