We are here safe and sound and glad to have the travel part behind us. Very comfortable climate so far, some thunderstorms in the evening. Had a tour of GSF this orning and met many of the children, what a blessing. I have pictures and wish I could post them here. Just finished a lunch of posho and beans, a traditional meal much like our grits and pinto beans.
Now we are getting designated for our jobs, and Kay Drew and I will be in Station One of the Clinic, teaching personal hygiene and dental care. John will be in the Evangelism Tent just before the patients get to the pharmacy for their medications. It's been a real blessing already to meet the missionaries and staff, and hear the stories of the children and how they came to be living at Good Shepherds Fold. Many break your heart. But everyone bears a huge smile. We have already learned much about happiness amidst poverty.
We are more dependant on your prayers than we thought. Many interferences from the enemy, so please hold us up.
Many are sharing this computer so we will try to update again but will be taking turns, and the computer is quite slow. We heard great news from the States that UNC won the NCAA and so three cheers for the Heels!!!
Love you all, John and Carol

Carol,
ReplyDeleteLove reading all these updates! Praying for all of you and your time with the children there. I'm so glad John is in the evangelism tent...perfect! Know that we are thinking of you guys constantly and lifting you up. Hug Cheryl Workman and Amy Hallisey for me, too...Cheryl went with Tripp a couple years ago, and Amy is in my small group! Thanks for being the aroma of Christ...may he meet you all over there in a profound way.
Love you,
