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.

Cory, it was nice to hear your voice this morning, we pray for you daily and know that GOD will work through you to touch peoples lives there in Africa. Stay humble and follow his will. Try hard to post to your blog, lots of people praying and asking about you and your ministry. Take care and keep that bald head covered and watch out for the hippo's LOVE YOU LOTS MOM&DAD
Hey Cory - laid-back lifestyle may not be so bad after all! You might enjoy that part of it and want to keep doing that when you get back to the States! I bet you will realize that we really don't need all the "stuff" we think we do and how much simpler life can be without a bunch of things that take your focus away from what's really important. Learn much and share the Gospel while you're there. Do they have pizza there?
Love ya, Aunt Sue
