NA Update #2

Dear Friends & Family,

Update #2 ( revised version of field Update)

Everyone is doing really well and it is has been fun for everyone to get a chance to know one another. The entire team seems to be enjoying themselves in the country and having a great time. I will try to email you daily, if possible, but the only problem is that HK has to take the email to a café to send off, since internet is not possible and phone texting is limited to 120 characters. Yesterday we arrived late after being picked up by our local friend. We basically arrived together , the two teams, due to our delays in travel. We arrived to a farewell party and had fun getting to know each other and the new people from the other teams that have been serving here. We woke up this am and had personal devotions and quiet time and ate breakfast then went to the "Health Carnival" ( Mobile Medical Clinic), a clinic for poor women and widows and children, everyone really enjoyed this and we had lots of opportunity to pray with the women and children; we came home and the team was excited that they got to do ‘medicine’ and get out and meet people. Tonight we went to the local Mslm park and prayer walked and tried to build some first friendships. The girls & guys split up and the girls met a woman and her two young daughters and were able to make their first contact with a Mslm. They were really excited about this. The guys prayed and met some Mslm of our own. We had a good time making these new vital relationships.

Sunday—The Team arrived after a day and a half of intense travel to this North Africa nation, excited about the what lay ahead. They really enjoyed getting to know one another as we ate a late (eleven oclock ) dinner. ---Please pray we continue to allow Christ to unite our hearts as we serve this week.

Monday—The team went to Health carnival for widows and poor women and children; in the evening we went to park where we met some Mslms for the first time and prayer walked this dark area. --Please pray for these new Mslms friends- that Christ would give us opportunity to share His love and His heart for them. Also for the patients in the clinic. Many have nothing and only Christ can meet their true needs. Pray Christ would continue to give us opportunity to share with them, but that He would continue the work He started at the Clinic.

Tomorrow, we plan on going to a different Health Carnival ( mobile medical clinic) again, after some morning team time and then some Mslm training ( All the How too's in this culture) by HK. --Pray for this clinic that Christ would glorify Himself during this time and draw hearts to Himself. Pray we would be humble servants and show & share the love of Christ with all we meet. Pray also that our bodies are revived and that we absorb all the training well.

Everything is going well, Everyone is in good health . I will try contact you tomorrow, if possible.
