First off, let me apologize for the relatively infrequent posts. But…in my defense, we have had power for about 14 hours over the past 72. What are you going to do?
The big news of the day is that several team members have malaria. Thankfully, most of them do not yet have any symptoms and the treatment has already begun. Thus the symptoms should be very mild.
We went to church Sunday with Pastor George. This was a great time of worship with this small community. It is our sincere hope that they were encouraged.
Saturday we gave out new shoes to about 30 kids. We really enjoyed this chance to bless them.
Saturday was also June birthday day. We had cake and ice cream. And they even recognized Zach as having a June birthday.
Tomorrow, most of the first team heads home. Please pray for them as they do. Matt, Lisetta, and Ryan all head to Dubai and then to Houston. Monica, her kids, and Caroline will all stay for a couple of days in Dubai (thanks Stolesons) and head to Austin on Thursday.
Zach and I are excited to see our family who arrive tomorrow. Please continue to pray for us. We will visit a prison on Thursday and possibly do some leadership training on Friday.
Blessings,
Mark
