Day 8 of our African Adventure - We went back to the Sekute school we had visited on Mon. Had a flat tire in the middle of no where on the sandy road.  Found out we didn't have the correct lug wrench to get the tire off. Can you say "triple A come help?" NO!!!  So God sends another truck on the same road, which usually has no other cars, and they have the correct lug wrench.  God 1, flat tire (Satan trying to prevent us from ministering to the children) 0.  Go GOD!!! All of our lessons have been on Trusting God and did He supply that lesson for us in a big way. 
Did our lesson with the children at the school.  Jo Anne and Amber had the 2nd grade with no teacher which meant no interpreter. But again God's love knows no boundaries even language.  Melanie and Kelsey did 5th grade and Jaybo and Janet (our host) took 6 & 7th grade. 
Next, we went to one of the pastor's home where his wife had cooked (over an open fire) lunch for us.  It was an experience we will never forget.  They were the most gracious hosts. 
Then we went back to the village where these children have stolen our hearts.  We had taken individual pictures of the children and put them in a frame.  After our bible story, we gave them the picture and a bag that had underwear and some toys.  It was Christmas in July.  It was hard to leave as this was the last time we would see them. Hugs and tears were plentiful.
We feel your prayers as the days are long and being tired is always on the agenda.  BUT OUR GOD supplies all our needs and gives us just what we need to "get ur done" We love and miss you all.

  1. Amazing how it all worked out. I think we take for granted all the modern conveniences of our world in America.
    Yesterday as I was sitting in the drive thru at sonic, I wondered what it would be like to not have a "happy hour" where you get your drinks handed to you through your car window. I wondered how Mom was handling not having her vanilla diet dr pepper easy ice each afternoon. Well I guess the answer is we'd survive. Just as these families do in Africa.
    Keep up the hard work everyone! I am in awe of each and every one of you.
