It is way past time for us to hit the sack here on the other side of the world, but before we go to sleep I thought I'd post a copy of the e-mail I sent to LST a few minutes ago. It should keep everyone updated and we will put up some pictures and stories from the information meeting tomorrow:

Our team held 2 information meetings today at the church building here in Kuala Lumpur (since the building is rather small), and we signed up 63 readers. Eric has 15 readers; Brad, Loraine and I each have 16. This is defintely an answer to prayer because we did not have to turn anyone down today as we feared. We prayed earnestly that God would make it obvious to us which people to read with and we feel like the fact that He sent us the perfect number today is an awesome answer to prayer!

Another information meeting is scheduled for tomorrow night. The church is expecting about 20 readers at this meeting, and we are planning to explain the situation to them and place all of them on the waiting list. Please pray that these readers will understand the situation and that we will be able to handle them with grace.

As far as team dynamics, I can't brag on the team enough. Such a truly fun and flexible group! The church here has been wonderful. Almost the entire congregation turned out for the information meeting. They were a big help with welcoming and registration and even prepared refreshments for the readers. I've never seen a church so pumped up about LST!

We are so excited to start reading! We are all glowing tonight from the positive experience we had today. So awesome! Thank you for all your support. We can definitely feel that we are being prayed for.

Love, Meredith
