Friendships Flowering

Peter and I were away for a few days.  On our return, the tree in our front yard that had been bare was suddenly a riot of leaves and flower!

    

As we have thought back over these past several months, this tree has come to symbolize our return to Laos.  We spoke in our last letter of how we felt God nudging us to just "follow the friendships"-not to worry too much where they were leading, but to obediently put one foot in front of the other.  Suddenly, it seems, those relationships have blossomed into some beautiful trees and ministries.
