Hey!
I found a place where I could log on the internet…wanted to give everyone an update.
Here’s the scoop so far…
- The trip over here took 25 hours total! BUT…we made it…and so did our luggage!
- Landed last night and went straight to the hotel…where I managed to get a whopping two hours of sleep before our trip today.
- It took us three hours to travel around 60 miles this morning! (We are eight hours ahead!) VERY bumpy roads…horrible when you really need to take a pee!
- We did see a monkey, a giraffe and some zebras today!
- We went to a community called “Q” today…and the Lord broke my heart. I saw things I’ve never seen and smelled things I’ve never smelled.
- YET…in spite of what we in America would call EXTREME poverty…I saw hope and joy in the eyes of these people…especially the children.
- They fixed lunch for us…not REALLY sure what I ate…but I am sure it did go straight through me!!! (Just being honest!)
- God is really showing the team and I that He is going to use our church to make a difference over here!
- I REALLY MISS ‘CRETIA and CHARISSE! (‘Cretia…hey! :-) I would email you but I can’t log in for some reason…will try and call soon!)
Thanks to everyone for your prayers…please continue to lift us up. We are doing a LOT of traveling over the next several days. I would alos LOVE to get some sleep!!! (Added it up…MAYBE have gotten 15 hours since Saturday night…my butt is dragging!)
Seriously…I can’t wait to get back and share first hand what we have learned and experienced….and this was just the first day…God has amazing things in store.
