I want to try and catch you up on what I've been up to since arriving. I didn't blog or journal Saturday, and believe me when I tell you that there is a reason for that! Friday I went to a Youth Fellowship and was rewarded greatly with the blessing of seeing a group of young people who are intensely interested about their Bible study and very passionate about their opinions about the text, yet they all loved one another and shared good company. Saturday I went to a traditional baby naming ceremony and then two subsequent traditional funerals in completely different geographic locations. My laptop battery is dying so I'll leave you with this: I will get pictures up by next weekend. I will get a more detailed blog about the things I've seen and done by Wednesday. Pray for me - water is a true commodity here. I find I'm thirsty nearly all the time and often catch myself in the middle of a hydration headache.

I have to go - I am sweating and going to enjoy a few hours that the rooster isn't awake for...yet.
Have faith that God is speaking to me in powerful and amazing ways which I hope to share with you soon. My heart breaks for the suffering and poverty I have already seen but I feel empowered by my heart's love for these people that are now within my arm's reach. I hope I can count on your continued prayers and support! Peace and blessings! Become the change!

You are in my prayers, Boyd. Your body will soon adjust to the high temperatures and not drinking as much water as you are used to. I guess it goes to show how spoiled we all are here in the United States and how we truly do take simple things, like clean water and air conditioning, for granted. It sounds like your experience so far has been great. I can't wait to see the pictures you post. Please stay well and healthy, and be safe!!!!
