Somethings just take getting used to. You cannot imaging how long it could take to locate 55 hangers for the suits that we brought for the Pastors. It takes some time to get use to Africa time.
John and I had a chance to view the place where we will be teaching next week. It is pretty primitive. It is about 1000 sq ft with a tin roof, cement roof, three small light bulbs, and a combination of wood benches, plastic deck chairs and a couple of basic tables. The Pastors will learn, sleep and eat in the same room for the whole month. There are a couple outhouses as well as several stalls where the wash up using a bucket. It is a privilege to get to work with such folks.
I will preach tomorrow at a local church. John will also be sharing in some way. We will also get to go to the Genocide Memorial. Also, it seems we are going to help a local pastors kid who is going to attend school in Montana with an internet transcation...they don't have a credit card and that is all the US Embassy site will take.
Thanks for following along.

And its pouring here. When it rains in Africa, it really rains.
I love your comment Neal on how it "It is a privilege to get to work with such folks." A couple of weeks ago I was "pprvilege to work with the people at Pleasant Street Baptist Church. Serving is not something we make sacrifices to do... but is something God guess us the opportunity and prvilege to do! God bless all of you and you are in my prayers.
