we have a new family member!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PTL!!! please pray for tracy...we met last week and she's my language partner~ we're the same age...its crazy how Godallowed this to happen so quickly! my qt today reminded me that eternal life is only given to us by His grace and when i read that, i thought of tracy and i wrote in my journal that i believed He would save her by His grace in His time...and His time was today!!! amazing huh?? the awesome part is, i didnt even have to try~~ she wanted to learn english, so we said we'd teach each other our own languages...shes the one who wanted to study the Bible to learn english and immediately i said "sure!" (i had given her an english version the first time we met...she already had a chinese one from a past vsetter, but never heard the whole story)....~~ we're gonna start w/ matt...then try to finish the NT by june before she leaves for home...its a long stretch, but i BELIEVE we can do it!! pelase keep tracy in ur jedis...she's a genuinely sweet girl~ :)

i started classes, but im in the second semester class...its really hard and challenging, which is good cuz im being pushed, but please please pray for me in this area...i need to learn the language and keep up w/ my classmates (who are 90% korean!!!)...i heard there were lots of koreans from korea studying here, but i had no idea it was this many! so i get to speak korean too~ 3 languages...ahg! at times im translating for the koreans and the english speaking students when no one really knows what the teacher is saying in chinese...confused? haha...so am i! so yes, please jedi that i will be disciplined and diligent in studying~
