Hey ALL!! As John would say "mbote kuwanna bahnahnah!
One major miracle was receiving every piece of luggage--16 in all, many with goodies for the nationals here. We visited Elikya today as you can see in the picture. I was so impressed with the great and plentiful ideas the workers there have put into practice through the cottage industries there. They not only sew but also make soap, learn carpentry, make stools and are interested in a few other ventures. The students in the carpentry training were all orphans who are learning a trade they can use when they are on their own.
Weather is hot but not horrible. We're doing well with that. Met the president of the EFC in Congo and John had preached at his installation service years ago when he became a regional supt. Also met the head and vice of women's ministries. So interesting to hear of their hope in the midst of so much need.
Thanks again for your interest and prayers as we are over here.

I stepped on Elikya ground a year ago. At that point one of the buildings was only half done. It was wonderful to see how much it has grown in a year. You are all in my prayers! As I am sure you are already seeing, God has blessed you all on this trip and will be with you every step.
