Today is a new day in Africa!

Hello my friends and family!

I first want to say Happy Father's day to my papa and granddaddy! I miss the both of you dearly and I hope you liked your cards alot. I have little time to talk but I just want to say that God is so out of this world! He is so Amazing! Everday He blows my mind and shows me something new about Him and even about myself. I have learned what it means to be the minority. Oh yes..when people look and stare at you all the time and all they want to do is come up and touch and rub your skin and your hair. You might hear a laugh or two. We are known as the "Muzungu." The "white man." I would have to tell you that even though I am a Muzungu God is still teaching me so much and working through me. I will tell you a story one of the girls told us last night as we were having a bond fire and singing praise and worship songs. She said, " she thanked me for the prayer that I prayed for the older children before they went out to secondary school that morning because they almost got into an accident. When I heard that I was like Praise God that you kept them safe." And she also said thank you for the encouragement that I have been giving them. Well I can say these children have been such an encouragement to me as well. Oh yes! I think and am praying about coming back. Don't know when yet. Praise God! I do devetions in the morning with the children and it is so awesome to see already God working in the children's lives. Praise God! Okay I will keep this updated when I have time. We only have power 12 hours a day here and then the guy that I am with has been using the internet a whole lot because he is homesick because he misses his girlfriend and parents. I mean I miss my parents and friends but I have already been away from home for almost a year..so I am used to this, he has not. So just keep him in your prayer. I will talk to you guys later on. Bye for now. Thank you for the prayers!! They are much needed. Love ya'll and miss ya'll!!
