The day didn’t go exactly as I had planned (I have found it rarely does)…but it went perfectly according to God’s plans! I have learned to let my own will and ideas be flexible and allow Him to lead and direct. That doesn’t mean I don’t make plans and prepare. I planned and prepared myContinue reading “Walking through our Village”

What a busy, blessed weekend!!! Preparing bags for the prison and hospital. On Thursday, Eric was able to give out bags of different grocery items, tracts, and John and Romans at the prison. It was raining so he wasn’t sure how many would come out, but around 180 men came! They all huddled under aContinue reading “Christmas Weekend”

I have been feeling like my life is pretty hard lately. Daily living has been hard. In the last storm, one of the electrical lines coming into the compound was broken. It was the one for the fridge and water. So now even when we do have electricity, we don’t have water or a fridge.Continue reading “A Drive to the City”

The electricity has only been on a couple of hours the last two days – 2 hours yesterday morning and maybe 3 Wednesday night.

While the kids were playing tonight, I went around and snapped pictures of things on our property. The hats peeking through the doorway looked so pretty! I have been trying to do so much since we arrived, and we are having a hard time adjusting to this heat. Any time my attitude starts to getContinue reading “Lessons Learned Around the House”

Wednesday we woke the kids around twelve-thirty AM, though neither Eric nor I had been able to sleep. It seemed like they just rolled out of bed ready and smiling! They started singing while waiting for us to leave and sang almost the entire drive to the airport! (Which I know our pastor thoroughly appreciatedContinue reading “We’re On Our Way!”

Our second Sunday! It still doesn’t feel real, and yet it feels like we’ve been here forever already! I had the opportunity today to teach the children’s Sunday school through a translator this morning.  I always forget to ask someone to take pictures.  I did get some videos and pictures when the kids were singingContinue reading “Settling In”
