Just a quick update

to let you know everything is okay with us. If you heard about the earthquake a few days ago or the bombings yesterday they were both on different islands then where we are at. Please continue to pray for the safety of all the teams here and that we'll use our remaining time, less then two weeks, to our fullest advantage in sharing the love of Christ with the people.

Not too much has been going on. We made a trip back to the village 5 hours away one day to help pass out medicine. We will be going back to that village to retrieve our team phone that was "misplaced" there. It'll be our 4th time having to tell those kids "bye". On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays we are going to the refugee camps and having Sunday school with the kids. We shared the message of Jesus and salvation in the villages on Monday and Tuesday but weren't able to in the village Wednesday. We will do it next Wednesday. The middle schoolers are back at the children's home. The rest of the kids will come back next week. We'll only have a week with all the kids back and then it'll be time for us to leave.

Just for fun. This is some of what we eat. Rice, chicken, rice, noodles, rice, potatoes, rice, fish, rice, green stuff(lots of vegetables fall under this category), rice, chicken, rice, carrots, rice, tofu, rice, chicken, rice, goat, rice.

update

Well we are back at the children's home for the remainder of our time. We really enjoyed our time in the village and I think I can speak for all of us and say we all wil miss the children and people from the village. We did the same things there we've been doing, with the main thing being leading Sunday school each day for the kids.  

The last day that we led Sunday School in the village we were planning to teach about the death and resurrection of Christ and slavation. That same day there was a christening in the Catholic church so we were expecting significantly fewer kids to show up. We were a little late getting to where we have Sunday school and when we got there there were less then 10 kids. We waited a little longer to see if any other kids were coming. I can't describe the joy i felt when slowly but surely more kids started coming from all directions. God is so good! There were about 40 children which is about what we were having the other days and 5 parents. Many of the kids that came came for the first time that day.  I don't know if any kids accepted Christ that day but we told the most important message we could ever share with them. We were able to  plant that seed.
