Off to Terekeka!

Yoyoyo fellas,

We are getting into a car tomorrow and driving for ~8 hours to get to Terekeka, South Sudan.  We will stay for 13 days.  It is a smaller orphanage of Harvesters (40 kids rather than 150) and happens to be on the Nile river.  Can't wait to go swimming with the crocodiles! ;)  Its also gonna be fun to be crammed in a car with Ben Baker and Johnson, a Ugandan worker at Harvesters.  We should get to see some cool Sudanese countryside.

We met tonight with our 5 brothers:  John, John, John, Samuel, and Nicholas.  Good guys, had a good time talking about Luke 9.  "Take up your cross and follow Jesus"  Praying that God would use us to bring more glory to himself in these guys lives.  Such potential exists in this orphanage for future leaders of this nation.  When we get home from Terekeka we have the privilege to lead 2 other groups of guys that are high school age.  Can't wait, as we've already become friends with most of these guys and have spent considerable time with them. 

For the record, I agree with Ben by saying that making cabinets is one of the most frustrating things on earth.  You seriously cannot be 1/16th of an inch off on a lot of your cuts, then you have to take account for boards being warped.  Being a perfectionist doesn't work well for me with this job.  It didn't work well with tiling an uneven floor either.  lol.

Ok enough rambling.  Off to Terekeka, pray that we can be a real encouragement and help to Lance and Kim, the leaders of the orphanage...and that we'll love some cute African kids to the glory of God.
