Abundant Blessings

Hello friends and family,

It's me again! We have been staying busy here with the school year coming to an end and people preparing to voyage to all countries of the world for the Summer. I have now been tutoring a couple more students in English writing, have begun a class for children of Ayis, and have begun to volunteer at the hospital teaching English to the nurses. My plate has been full and overflowing with adding on little tasks here and there for end of the year church activities. It is great and I would not have it any other way!

I wanted to let everyone know that our church here has been so gracious and blessed us with the money for our tickets to home and back! So we will be coming home June 25th and returning to China on August 6th. We have tourist visas until December, but are hoping to work out the details so that we can get working visas to stay here until the Summer of 2014. However, that is all in God's hands and we are waiting on him to see where he leads us.

With the many jobs here and there and the gift from our church here, we have been abundantly blessed. Justin has even had some opportunities arise here that have been beneficial for his studio work that may lead to something greater. We have even seen God come through on some tiny details that were more wants than needs, also. Justin and I love going to the movies and we have been wanting to see a movie here. However, our limited budget has disabled us from doing so. Nonetheless, one Sunday at church, when I was sick, a man from the congregation approached Justin and told him "Thank You" for what he has done for the church. He handed him a bunch of movie vouchers to his theaters and an envelope with some money for us that has significantly helped us in paying our bills for the next month. We were blessed enough that we can even take people that have been such a blessing to us out to the movies. We are so thankful!!

Justin and I will need to raise money to try to help out with some needs that we have here in China. We will need money for bicycles (a means of transportation), for help with some luggage expenses and items we will need to purchase while home (toiletry items and other things that are hard to come by here), and for visa expenses. If you can help out we would greatly appreciate it! Any help is one step closer to supplying our needs. You can contact me via Facebook or through email at blythe.ure@gmail.com about these needs and we can arrange a way to transfer the money.

Thank you so so much for your prayers and we cannot wait to see you!!!

With Love,
Blythe
