In the City!

Blogger: Preston

We are sorry that we haven't been able to post anything in a while. This site is blocked where we are as a part of a recent intensified effort to limit internet communication, so we have had to work our way around the barriers! In addition to these cyber limitations, I have have had some pretty serious physical ones, too! We had pretty close interaction with a family here that recently passed around a stomach bug, and I seem to have caught it! We made it successfully to our target city on Friday with no travel hang-ups, but by Friday night I was vomitting up all of the wonderful food I had been treated to by our friends here! It lasted into the morning, and I spent most of Saturday and Sunday in bed. I am almost fully recovered now, but I will still take it easy for the next couple of days. Obviously I'm well enough to be walking to the internet cafe, though, so I'm almost back to full health. Praise God I was only sick on the weekend, and I was the only one to get sick out of the many that had interaction with this family!

It has been great to back in this lovely city that we have chosen to sponsor, though! Its character and charm make me very glad that Our Father has paired us with those that are woking here! Speaking of those that are working here...I'm sooooo excited to finally be working with them hand-in-hand! After praying for this couple known as N & G for so many years, it is great to hear their vision first hand and see them interacting with the people Our Father has called them to reach!

It has also been very fun to be with K-man (of course)! We get to spend a lot of time together and share with each other on many levels. He has already greatly encouraged me, and I think I have helped to encourage him, too. He is doing a great job in his "first REAL leadership" position as he calls it, and as I said before, it is so much fun to work with him again! :)

The informant that the team encountered last year is in fact attending the clubs again, so please ask that we will have wisdom and discernment in dealing with him. We are not discouraged by his presence; we are hopeful that he too will see the Light that has been put in us.

Although the sun doesn't go down until about 11pm here, it is getting late, so I think I need to go. :) Thanks again for following us!
