We are really enjoying some of the new friendships we are making over here. K is a new believer who lives with the P family (whom we are staying with). He has the most fascinating story - orphan who found his way to the town we are in, lived on a man's property who hired him to guard it, once the property was rented he was kicked the the curb and the P's took him in. He has since become a believer and is now being discipled by S. He was baptized just a month ago! He has the kindest spirit and is a completely transformed man. He is around 19-20 and loves hanging around with the kids and the P's have taken him in as one of his own. He was scared of Nick and me the first few days but is coming around and has even cooked a few treats for us to eat!
St is a local believer around 25 who works for the P's a few days of the week. He has the biggest smile you have ever seen and the P's are really excited about his potential as a Christian leader in the community.
N is a friend of the family around 20-21 (many people do not know their age around here). He is not a believer but is open to the sharing of the Word. He is drawn to this family and is good friends with St and K. I've enjoyed the time we have spent with him and can tell he has a good heart. Please pray that the Lord continues to work on N and that N will have a thirst for salvation.
Z is a widow we went to visit yesterday. She is probably only in her 30's and takes care of her children and grandchildren. She is a Muslim but allowed us to share the Creation story with her yesterday. We shared as much as she would allow and we will go back to visit her. She thinks Christianity is ok for us as we do not have the problems that she has - poverty, dirtiness, health issues, widowhood. Please pray she is receptive to the love God shows to ALL his children. We also believe she has cataracts, as she is losing her sight and the sun hurts her eyes. Pray for healing (we shared with her that true healing comes from God).

It's going to be very hard to leave there when your time is up. The bonds formed with the family and now the people! We will bow now in prayer for K, St, N and Z. Do you see water issues solution in the future? Daddy is prowling around now :0) Feeding BUDDY the guinea pig. Austin's team isn't fairing so well in the baseball tourney. We will see them again this afternoon. Then it's off to Daniel & Jessica's for dinner. Pat's helping them with kitchen remodle design :0) Love you, Momma
