Dave gave a great sermon today and we celebrated communion with our African friends. It is a great spiritual experience. In addition, due to another black out, we moved to outside tonight at 6:45 pm for an unplanned candlelight worship time. We soon realized that all of you were in church at the Flipside at the same time for the morning service. It made us feel like we were all worshiping together. Another 6 kids accepted Christ today. They were from the neighborhood and participated in a little football tournament that we put on. We used some Gatorade water bottles for prizes and presented the gospel after the "awards ceremony." It was another great way to seek God work when we just are faithful.
All of us went out for Loretta's (the house cook) birthday. It was a great celebration and a nice way to say thanks for all she has done to make us more than well taken care of.
We are scheduled to visit the Village of Hope Orphanage on Monday (as seen on Oprah's child fishing slavery special). It should be a heart tugging time. Pray for God's guidance.
Time is running out on the trip and my internet minutes...so take care.

I would be happy to give rides home to whoever needs it. We will have room for 3 people. I love you and miss you soooooo much!!!!

Hey there,
Wow I can't believe the 2.5 weeks have flown by either. :) This morning in Sunday School our class prayed for you guys about the time you were having your outside worship service and what a blessing to hear that more kids came to Christ!! I will continue to pray that you make it home safe on Tuesday. If anyone gets stranded at the airport you can call me I live 5 miles away. :) Joel has my number. :)
