Someone has asked me what is it that I am learning from this experience. At first I was not sure how to answer that question. After 3 months, I can now say that God is teaching us/me to be flexible. We all had certain expectations in our mind as to how this trip would go. Almost all of the expectations have been met but not in ways we had planned. All is good and God is even better, we are learning that it does not matter what plans we have because God always has a better one.
We are currently in Kpalime at the blind center where I have been working as planned. We are supposed to leave this Friday for Tsiko but God has anther plan so we will be staying in Kpalime a while longer. He needs me to oversee the construction of a new church in Agou. So we are going to stay in Kpalime until the 23rd and then if God allows us we will head to Tsiko.
Sorry that I do not have a photo for you but I am at the internet cafe and I do not have my hard drive with me. Hopefully the next post will have a photo for you.
I am learning to ride a moto (motorcycle)and how to crash one, luckily it was a minor spill. Morgan was with me so we both got our first case of road rash. Thankfully it was not serious and I took the brunt of the impact. We are both fine just a bunch of scrapes and a few bruises.
Could you please pray with us that at least half of our remaining support will come in in the next month or two? We are asking God to give us another $1500.00 to help us over the next 3 months of this trip.
God is great and we know that He has our backs,
