I am going back!

It is with great joy that I announce that I am returning to Indonesia early next month!

Since returning from my trip in April, I have processed about God's powerful healing and intervention in my life while I was there.  I am changed.  Following much prayer and consultation with my spiritual director, pastor, close friends and family, I have discerned that I am to return.  As an official guest of the Bishops' Conference in the Diocese of Maumere on Flores Island, I will again be spending the Fall semester volunteering at the SVD/Divine Word Missionary seminary on Flores Island, experiencing the universal Catholic Church from a Southeastern Asian perspective, visiting local parishes in nearby villages, and practicing English conversation with the community there.  I couldn't be more excited!


While there, I will continue discerning God's will and call for my future and and excited to learn His will for the next phase.  I am surrendered to Him as never before in my Life.

"Here I am, Lord.  Send me!"  --Isaiah 6:8

If you're interested, have a listen to this great song that speaks to some of my hopes for this trip:  Let them See You by JJ Weeks Band

May God continue to bless you and your families and friends.

In His Love,

Joan
