A new face for the dorm

Hello again,

We have had one busy week. But what a week. It's been a joy having Stan and Gloria here. They gave the dorm a real face lift. These are just a few of the areas they accomplished. It's beginning to look like a home now. We hope the teams appreciate all the effort they put into this.

We have been praying the rains would stop. We have had rain, rain and more rain. Tonight is the first night it has not rained in a while. But the night is not over yet. We are still praying. It will need to dry out a bit before Don can get out to some of the really needy areas.

While here, we took Stan and Gloria out to visit Ray and Bonnie, some friends who work with Pastor Paul and Belle Romeus. They went along when Ray went to feed the people at the "poor house". It is actually just an empty old school building with cement desks where people come who have no where else to go. They were touched by an older lady who was in there sleeping on a cement table. We took them to the Asile (a well run place for displaced persons). The Lord worked that all out and tomorrow that older woman will be moving into the Asile where she will get proper care and medical attention. What a blessing.

So much was accomplished in this last week, it's hard to explain. But it was all positive. We had a great, exhausting time. Don and I have both been under the weather, but we still enjoyed the time with our good friends.

We have a big team coming in tomorrow, so are looking at another week of working. They will work mainly with another missionary, putting a roof on an orphanage. What a blessing they will be to them. We'll keep you posted as the week progresses.

For now it's time to close and get some rest. Remember to keep Jesus as your focus and let Him be your guide in all you do. We are praying for the election tomorrow. We are praying God has His Hands on it. Have a super great day and keep praising God!!
