Twitter, Facebook, Bulgaria, Grandma
I’m sorry for letting another month go by without a blog… it turns out that work, ministry, and raising three kids takes a lot of time 🙂
I wanted to let you know (any of you who might care!) that I am updating MUCH more regularly on Twitter than I have ever done on my blog. Now, a Twitter update is nothing like a blog, but it does let people know what is going on in our daily lives. Since I signed up for Twitter a little over a month ago, I have “tweeted” about 150 times. For those who want to check out my 150 Twitter posts or follow my tweets, my name is: “chinaadventures“
Also, if you have Facebook and we are not already friends, then send me a friend request anytime. My Facebook name is “Eugene West”. All of my Twitter updates are also posted directly to my Facebook account.
By the way, I am writing from a (very expensive: $2.75/hr) internet cafe in Sofia, Bulgaria. Gabriel & I were blessed with cheap tickets and a few weeks off to travel to Bulgaria to visit my brother Zach, who is working here this summer. We are also visiting Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Istanbul, Turkey on our way back to Beijing. Pray for the thousands of people who are receiving the tracts we are distributing in each of these countries, and for our protection!

One last (but very important!) thing: My grandmother Mabel West is in the hospital and will probably not make it through the night. Please keep my father Laban (her only son) in your prayers, as well as the rest of the family!
Grandma Mabel was an amazing woman… her heart for God (specifically in regards to prayer & evangelism) will impact our family for generations! Her life will be an awesome (albeit difficult) one to emulate!
(This picture of Grandma Mabel (89) was taken last fall when my family had just flown in from China. Baby Abriana was still a month away from being born)
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Will pray for your family.
Dude, Dubai?! I hope you post something about your time there…
Blessings on you all and thanks for the updates.
