Plans Change, Clinic in Transition

Dear friends - we're having another shockingly HOT day, it seems that a summer in Boise is the perfect precursor to the Philippines! And of course all heat is compounded when you shove as many girls as possible into a vehicle without Air Con!
I've had a fun weekend with lots of kids - yesterday I got to take 5 kids to a local river for a day at the beach, followed by an afternoon at an outdoor pool with friends, then this morning I was on schedule again at church - this morning with more than a dozen rowdy 2-year olds! Lots of fun.
I have news about our clinic! No, it isn't open, please keep praying, we wanted to be open for these women yesterday (or a month ago). But things are moving forward, our lawyer is still hard at work there, and things are taking shape and forming now for what the future is going to look like!
Our school directors announced this week that they're selling their place and moving to the Philippines - they're going to do whatever it takes to set up places for us to serve and get our experience. This could mean many small, Filipino run clinics, working in hospitals, etc. We are going to wait and see what God will do!
But this means that our timeline has changed - at this point I will not be going to the Philippines in September. It is going to take time to set up and get running. So please pray for all of the pieces to fit together. I hope that the next couple weeks will see more of the details unfold - this is a time of major transition. And for all of us students our dreams, expectations and plans are changing. We are having to trust that God is at work and in control (which of course He is). PLEASE PRAY.
Thank you - you are such an encouragement, I am so glad you stand behind me!
