One Week.

Wow. We've been here only a week and yet feel like we have had an adventure of a lifetime. Saturday morning, we had tea with the lady that lives behind the church building. They were very gracious. We visited and talked about how excited they were to have just gotten electricity in their home.  Here are some pictures of the church as it is now.

                                                                     The sanctuary.


The Sunday school classroom. 


The Church kitchen and ovens. 


The future offices under construction. 



We also had a picnic at the Cashes property outside of town. The countryside here is breathtaking….

Tomorrow, Brayden , Hannah (another intern of the Cashes who is from Oregon) and I will be going with Derrick to his village to spend the night. Derrick is the church leader who is Mr. Cashes right hand man. He is hilarious and makes us laugh a lot.

Derrick has been talking about all the things he wants us to do and learn in the village….including killing a chicken and learning how to cook over an open fire. :O Pray that we will be a blessing and good learners..pray that we will have strength for whatever we have to do or eat. J Whew-this should be quite an adventure… 

Also please pray for concentration and focus for us. There is a lot going on at home with friends and family.  We live here right now and are loving it, however, our hearts are with our loved ones who are struggling.
