There is quite a variance from bugs to baptisms, to the big lizard we ate last weak.... Mmm meat, not so much like chicken.
The people of Etiolo are doing well after a great harvest season thanks to God who gave some extra rain this year.
Our youth program is alive and kickin' and this week we'll be heading into the neighboring village where news of Jesus Christ has caused a spark. We'll have a service, sing some songs and eat some grub, should be some good times.
We're all pumped, the drums are painted and the rice is peeled, let's go!
Looking at the pictures, notice the new office we built during the past few weeks. We had a lot of fun together building it.
Also note the minor forest fire which is quite common as the locals burn the long grass. Some nights whole mountain sides are aflame. In a community of mud huts with grass roofs well... accidents happen.
I'm healthy and encouraged for the last month of our adventure here in this distant land.
I'm both sadened and excited to come home, but just trying to focus in on the last leg and finish strong.
Please continue to pray for us here; our new brothers and sisters in Christ, that many more will come to faith in Christ and that we would be rooted and grounded in God's love.
Love you guys
Joseph
