Many people out there live high-powered, fast paced lives. They rub shoulders with the who's who or maybe they just are the who's who. I rub shoulders with little ones that are fascinated by my funny accent and my pathetic attempt at Swahili and my white skin that turns pink. The most power I have is when I drink a cup of African coffee. =) I am not much of a coffee drinker back home and the stuff here really knows how to pack a punch. One cup of java African style and I think that I can climb Mt. Kilimanjaro! (Little side note: I do hope to climb it one day: back to the real story). However, life has been a little face paced lately. As I mentioned before, I have been traveling to the villages a lot. Every time I go to a village, I never want to leave. You see the people and the sweet precious faces of the children with these gigantic smiles that seem to quietly say, love me. How do you leave them? I am still learning the ropes so I am doing a lot of traveling back to back but I am so thankful for all of your prayers because I know that God is sustaining me.
Tomorrow we have a team arriving from Perimeter and I am so thrilled! I feel like a little kid at Christmas, you know that feeling when you feel all tingly on the inside and you think you are going to burst! This is a youth team and I have taught, tutored, discipled, or some other way been involved in almost all of the lives of the teenagers. Plus, the adults aren't too shabby either! We also have a team from SBC and I am so excited about getting to know them better. Please pray for the earthquakes here. We had a couple more today and for one the epicenter was only 20km away from Mairowa, one of the villages where SBC is involved. So far no major damage. Praise the Lord.
However, I will be traveling with these teams over the next week in a half and will be in the villages full time. So, no internet access. I will be offline until late next week. Please pray for the teams while they are here. They have busy schedules. Pray that God will knock their socks off, completely blow them away! I want them to know that God is an amazing, powerful, wonderful God but also a tender, compassionate, loving God. The team from Perimeter will be in Karansi and Mwika. Mwika is the village that has the orphanage with children that have HIV. I think some of what the teenagers will see might be hard. It is hard to take in. Pray that their hearts would be handle it but still be tender.
Thank you all so much!!!!
