Well, Alan has made it back to America in one piece. They arrived on Tuesday afternoon and are doing debriefing at Vangaurd University. Tomorrow he will be flying up to Sacramento to spend a few weeks at home before going back to school. Things turned out to be amazing. There were a total of 34 decisions made throughout their time there. One was someone Alan was talking to specifically. Well, we are excited to see that we have new brothers and sisters. It is evident that our Father was working and changing lives.

The last letter we received commented on the weather being hot and muggy. Basically they were wet all the time with rain or sweat. I guess it does not matter which one at that point. Anyway, the trip was an amazing experience for them all and I am excited to hear about all that they learned.

Thank you for all your prayers...I know that they were much appreciated and all that happened would not have been possible without them...asking the Holy Spirit to move. As the group comes back, debriefs and adjusts to life back in America I ask that you would be in prayer for them.

• Pray that they will have a good time of reflection during their debriefing sessions.
• Pray that adjusting back to life in America would go smoothly. (Sometimes there can be as much culture shock coming back as there is going when you are overseas for such an extended period of time.)
• Most of all pray that their lives would be changed from this experience and that they would never forget the things they learned and the way they saw God at work.

Thank you again and I am sure the next e-mail you receive will be from Alan with much more detail about his experiences.
In Christ,
Melissa
