Dear Friends and Family,

Well we made it!! After about a 18 hour travel day we arrived safe and sound to LAX @ 12:40 which was 30 minutes before we left in Sydney because of the time difference. So we lived the whole Tuesday again. *smiles*

The 25th we hung out with my friend Kathryn and her husband. We went to the ocean and fished off a pier (I can't recall which one right now) but it was really fun! Although we didn't catch any fish it was nice trying. ("I even baited my own hook!)

The 26th was the big graduation day! As graduates we were onl given 6 tickets, so my mom was there, Kathryn, and her husband, Libby (who is my dear friend from Israel, who has been staying at our house while we were in Australia), My friend Mandi, and her sister Angi (Mandi and I went to bible college together in Austria, and she flew all the way from Washington State!)

It was a grand time, and i saw a ton of people even my bunk mate from Austria was there! It was a very special time and i am thankful for the opportunity that God has given me to be able to finish this chapter.

Now the page has turned and another chapter in this thing called life has begun. I don't know many things for sure, but Ido know that God is soverign and that is the most important thing! Also God has taught me this semester the importance of having a servants heart, and really dying to my flesh. Everyday I must crucify my old man.

For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. Romans 6:5-6

I want to be a slave to Christ, for in that will I find the only freedom known to man. God bless you all please e-mail me if you have time as i would love to hear from you. christiang_@excite.com

In Christ, Grace
