What an awesome day!

First the Emi-woro football team had a friendly match with the Elaite school and won!  We carried a truck full (and I mean FULL) of kids rhythmically shouting “three-zero” (the score) while Devin did a honk interlude for the whole two miles home from Elaite and Baruwa sat in the back seat laughing every time Devin honked.

 

Then Stephanie told us God is calling her to extend her time here with us!! Which led to apple pie announcement of such awesome news.  MMM – we love it when teams bring goodies!

 

Then we drove inside inside and showed a video Devin made from the team’s recent visit and lots of pictures of our friends in their camp.  They giggled and laughed hard and ooooohed and ahhhed the whole time.  We showed a tiny bit of a nature film, which got lots of comments as well.  As we were leaving they were all standing along the road as they always do, but in the dark this time. 

 

Suleimon, who was a real challenge when we first arrived, came along to interpret for us, and he did a great job.  The mission’s impact on his life is very evident.

 

Then a drive home down a long bumpy road in the bush in the dark in the back of the truck with Jack, who said “It was nice talking with you” to me.

 

Life is good.  God is great.  These sweet people need Jesus.
