Here in Africa

Hey guys this is my first post being in Africa. I don't have much time now to post much and to add pictures. I hope to do so soon. It's very different here than at home. We don't have as many luxuries. It's ok though. I have enjoyed my time here. This week is kind of our orientation week. We have only had one day with some ministry. We went to the local college and played some sports with the students then gathered them around and prayed and shared the Gospel using the bridge illustration. The culture is pratty laid back here. It feels so different because I'm so used to doing something. It's good though I'm being challenged in many ways. The people don't really have much over here but they are so thankful for what they have and they are the friendliest people I have ever met. Almost everyone you meet is super friendly. Be in prayer that we would teach the students here in a loving way and that the language would not be that bad to understand. Most everyone speaks English. Pray that we would grow much in our personal walks with God and be an encouragement to everyone we meet. Thanks for your prayers and I hope to post more soon.
