This is our last day here by the orphanage. We will be moving about an hour down the road to the high school we were at on Friday.
Apparently, that is a lost and unreached area. It is not where we were originally going but is where there is a field ripe for the harvest. Many important officials were at the ceremony on Friday and are planning on coming to the Jesus film tonight. I am anxious to see God work and move there.
I didn't sleep well at all last night because my back was hurting. I am SO glad only 3 more nights in a tent - not going to lie about that! However, God has been so good and my energy has been up so far. I will have lots to say about the benefits of MAX when I get back - Dad will love it!
Today has been frusterating. Tim and Tobey left to get water with some pastors and Taps. They planned on being gone 2 and half hours but were gone 5! The rest of us were left sitting at camp - very restless and bored!
Finally, after lunch we loaded up and drove to Neshuro - very eye opening! We got out and looked at the shops - there are a lot of supplies but there is no money to buy them. The economy and state of this nation are so sad and depressing it is no wonder that they see the need for a Savior. We in America have a hard time with the need issue.
One picture I took today has special meaning - A picture of footprints in the sand. This will forever remind me of the wealth I have - I and my kids have shoes, clean clothes, we are blessed! Those precious feet that made those prints need the hope of a Savior!
The enemy was out in force today. Tim and Tobey were almost in a car accident, the rest of us were grumpy and bored. When we reached camp it was dark so once again, it was setting up camp in the dark. The sound equipment was having issues, tempers were short. However, over adn over I was reminded to "Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS".
The night ended in much laughter with Tab and I. The Lord knew it was exactly what I needed!
