Hi friends! Man what a week. I got about 25 hours of sleep since Monday. That averages to about 5 hours each night and it may have been a little less than that. BUT.... I loved it! It was like slumber parties every night, talking to my new friends until 2 or 3 in the morning. We cleaned a river, had an entire day of VBS, had dinner and Bible study with a family, visited with a neighbor and saw how pottery was made, visited the 14th largest Catholic church in the world, made lots of new friends, took more than a 1000 pictures, ate a ton of food, laughed until we wet ourselves, (which wasn't hard with one bathroom) visited our old village and shared with a lot of people the love of Jesus.
I can't tell you how blessed I am to know these people. They never once complained about anything, they smiled and laughed and were just joyful to be here with our people. Our people knew that they were happy to be here too. They all made many new friends here and I do hope they won't forget them. I am going to have some of them post over the next few days and that way you can see how this experience has effected their lives. I heard many times from them how they thought they had nothing to offer these people, however after their first day, they realized they were wrong. They had the love of Jesus.
For some reason I have not had any luck uploading pictures on my blog today. However if any of you are on FB and would like to see the pictures on there, just invite me to be your friend and I will except. I just uploaded about 30 or so photos on there. I am going to save the stories for our team to tell you and I am going to take a nap! ;o) They are all on their way home now, please pray they all have safe and uneventful travels! Love, Missy
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
