Well, the last we had heard was that Taurean had decided to move on to another city, he was just feeling lost and alone there in Amsterdam. Come to find out, the phone calls were because he was really missing home. He ended up staying, and worked things out with the owners, so that he could start working and keep himself busy. We have not heard from him in days. (Which was a good sign). We did get a hand made postcard from him yesterday, sending his love & letting us know that we are in his prayers. This afternoon I got a phone call from him, Sunday. He sounds different, more settled and assured. He had some sad news though, his bicycle had been stolen from in front of the Hostel that he is staying at. Also the cash that he had left got stolen. He did put his travelers checks in the safe, so his remaining funds are safe.
He said that he has been working every day, I think he said from 10 - 6 pm. When he calls, he tells me so much in a few moments and then I try to remember all the details. I think that he is working in exchange for room and board, which means he really does not have to worry about rent or food. He said that God is really working in his life, taking away all his worldly possessions. That he is realizing more each day. Just the place (That particular Hostel) that he was brought to is a blessing, he said. I personally am excited for him. I know that God has great plans for him, and I think he is on the path to finding out just what that is. Please keep him in your prayers.
