Jambo from Africa! Thank you Jill Cox for relaying my message that we arrived safely last night. I just could not drag my tired self out at 1 in the morning to go find a wifi spot. Our flights over were fine and fairly uneventful other than losing some luggage. And yes, for those of you keeping track, this is the second year in a row that Quincy has been the unfortunate victim of luggage loss. Thankfully, he is very mature and patient about it.
Today,we slept in a bit and had our breakfast and morning meeting where we met the new president of Scott and the students who will be accompanying us as translators. We took a tour of the college and saw what we will be working on this year - helping to build a new preschool facility that is close by to Scott and where many of the students children attend.

After lunch we set out in groups to about 8 different schools. Many of the students gave their testimonies. I haven't heard from all the groups yet but Ron Crosby told us that in his group, Brandon Galvan and Stephanie Fackler both did an awesome job sharing. My group went to a local primary school where Catherine Megison and Evan McClay both spoke and Kevin led music. I also heard that Peter Bjorkman gave a very powerful testimony where 5 people came to Christ afterward. We are all now back at Scott, finishing dinner, and getting ready for all the goings on of tomorrow. In the morning we will start up the work project and also start the first day of VBS.

This morning, Jon shared his main prayer for this trip, which is that we would have JOY in serving. This is a good indication of a close walk with God and proper perspective of the bigger picture. Please pray with us for this as we continue our ministries.

We are all looking forward to a good nights sleep and productive day tomorrow. Hope to have some photos tomorrow.

P.s. The Millet kids are all doing great!
