At the Mission

Hey Everyone,

We arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon. The drive was beautiful, even though for most it was time for an afternoon nap. We really enjoyed Wayne and Claire’s place, and people are already talking about looking forward to heading back there. Today was a great day of work – we had the tour for the first half of the day so really we only “worked” for the afternoon and evening – everything from garbage pick up to bathroom cleaning to weeding to harvesting to dropping of the disabled children at their homes – it was a busy day. Tonight our group split into groups and went to four of the group homes for the orphans of all ages so their house parents could go out for their Monday night dates. It’s a blessing to be able to send them away with some money and hopefully a free mind hoping that God has made us capable with 10 visitors in the house as these amazing couples are able to do on their own!

I haven’t been able to make it to the computer room yet, the schedule doesn’t give more than 10 minutes break anywhere in a day. Right now I was able to duck into one of the staff’s office just to let you know we made it here! Thanks for your prayers. The experience is awesome, if you could be here you would be proud of how our youth are handling themselves – I know I sure am. Continue to pray for us in a few ways:

• health, there have been a few headaches, a few stomach issues…nothing serious, but a few have already had to have some time sitting out to recover.
• for God to speak to each one – it has been really great to hear of some of the desires of some team members hoping to really meet God over this time away
• for our leaders as we seek to lead our youth with fairness and compassion
• for us as we share God’s love (today I was asked to share at Sala (morning chapel) on Wednesday)…since the Bible says we are to be prepared to give an answer for the hope that we have and to share God’s Word in season and out of season…what kind of an example would I be if I said no! Speaking with a translator to a multilingual crowd should be interested, and I’d covet your prayers for God’s words to flow into my heart beforehand and clearly out of my mouth during

Well I don’t want to hold up Howie here, he’s supervising me. Our adult team has really gelled and we praise God for that too. We’ll update you more the next chance we get.
Love and Peace
