Hey everyone, sorry it has taken this long for me to update the blog, we finally found an internet cafe, I almost had to use a pigeon to fly my updates to you! I just added a whole bunch of blog entries!
So I’m going to be updating my blog in chunks probably, so stay tuned! Here are some prayer requests for the next while.
- Wisdom as we look for leaders
- Ability to share vision, that will spark passion and interest here in Benin
- Communication
- Janna would pick up French quickly
- Carleigh and Jamie would grow more confident in their French
- Understanding accents
- Proper words to translate
- Patience as we learn the ropes around Benin
- Understanding how our electricity/other bills work
- How to store food, without infesting ants
- Finding our way around
- Continued health and safety
- Wisdom as we figure out the balance between developing leaders and working with an already established team
God Bless everyone! Thank you for the continual prayer!
P.S. We brought a guitar so we can have some form of musical instrument here, but since I don’t know how to play the guitar, I have been learning, and my fingers are finally starting to form calices! Yay! I have never been so happy to be in pain before! Haha.
I will for sure be praying!
ReplyDeleteA quick tip...keep things in jars...if you have an old peanut but jar or something put your sugar cubes in it...thennnn....put THAT in something else secure like a pot haahha those little ants are preeettyyy sneaky aren't they?...ooooo something fun...take one lone sugar cube and surround it with tape sticky side up...(i don't know if it works...but it would be cool to see if you could trap a few ants :p!)
You are all in my prayers! Keep up the good work :)!
Wahoo... internet! lol. Isnt it sooo crazy how dependant we are on it? I saw that you and Janna fb me and I was excited but sad cuz Lent started on Wednesday... (so I cant read them til Easter!)but I really wanna read your guys messages! (I was even tempted to read them thru email but thats still cheating! boo.) Then I was like MAYBE THEY POSTED ON THEIR BLOGS! haha. and yes. yes you did :) And alot... :) that will give me lots to read and comment on while Im off fb ;) haha. Definitely will be keeping you guys in my prayers for sure! PS my brother was teaching me a little guitar the other day! Its fun! But hurts your fingers a little bit.
ReplyDeletepps. i dunno if anyone else noticed... BUT... part of the words were cut off in the prayer requests... I mean I can guess what they are and Im pretty sure Im close if not dead on... But is that just happening to me and my computer? lol
Anyhoo... enjoy it there! take care! ttys!
Fun stories! I like the Traveler's Logs. It's always interesting going to new places and being immersed in the culture. Especially when you are going to be there for such a large chunk of time.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am Carleigh's best friend, and I am here to ask you to take good care of her. We want her back home safe and sound! And you can also take care of Janna. I don't know her, but she is probably pretty important too. :)
