It's Crunch Time!

Last Friday, I completed my third year of teaching. Whenever I finish saying goodbye to my students and their parents, turn in report cards, clean up the classroom, and close the door for the final time that school year, I feel a bit lost. From the end of August until the middle of the following June I have a purpose - to educate my students; to support them in the learning; to teach them how to get along; to be their advocate. When the school year ends, I feel as if I don't have any purpose for the next 2 1/2 months. Sure, I can hang out with friends and family, volunteer for a week or two at a summer camp, try out new recipes, clean my house, go on a vacation, but I never really feel completely satisfied. This summer both Brian and I will have a purpose - a mission for God.

We are still about a week and a half away from heading off to join our team in Lusaka, Zambia, and there is much to do. We are excited to meet our team members, the orphans and the widows. I am sure God has much to teach us and areas for us to grow. Please pray that we will be focused on the mission even before we get on the plane to Texas for training. Distractions are many, and time is short.

Thanks to all of you who have been praying for us, encouraging us, and even donating computers/computer parts! We thank God for each and every one of you.

In Jesus' Love,
Andrea and Brian Tsang

P.S. For those of you who don't already know, we will be leaving California for Texas on Monday, June 28th. We'll be there for three days for training, and then head out to Lusaka, Zambia on July 1st. We will return on August 15th.
