This is Kader who came with our friend and language teacher Yaya on behalf of the church to say goodbye and give us a gift. I can't really talk to him that much, but I'm really encouraged by his family and the role he plays in the church.
This is Mariam, and she's a hoot. She's a Bissa woman who has been coming to literacy class. She cracks me up and all I can say is that if you know who Madea is... this is her sister. Pray for her and her family to come to know the Lord through the stories of God's word she hears at literacy.
On Sunday night, Albert performed at a Baptist Youth Conference and we got to see it all. I wish I could upload the video of all the people jumping on stage to dance- hilarious. It was hard to say goodbye to Albert and Vivian, they're great.
These are the two men that we spent the most time with in Africa- Yaya our Bissa believer friend on the right, and Adama, the one that we have asked you to pray for so much. It will be strange not seeing these guys everyday, and especially not being bossed around by Adama. Pray that the Lord will use our time with here to encourage Yaya in his faith and to bring Adama to Himself.
BYE SHAFTO'S! I'll miss each member of this family greatly. I couldn't have asked for better supervisors, and I feel like I was just a part of their family for the past four months. Fortunately, they call Wilmington home in the States, so I'll be able to see them on their next furlow. Damin zinda (another day).
