What an Interesting Week!

This week has been the most interesting week of my life. Spiritual things first and then I have lots of funny stories for this week. Ministry is going good. We have experienced some demonic activity this week. I will fill you in when I get home. Also, we have had 3 more people saved. Praise God! We have done numerous Bible studies…I can’t even count how many. We have found a potential person to help start a house church. Her name is Divenna. She is very knowledgeable about the scriptures. She even helped a missionary from England translate Psalm to Rev. in her native tribal language. We have been able to encourage her and she has actually led a Bible study for us and some people in the village. She said she needs a companion to help her lead when we leave, so pray for that! The people are very open to us coming in their house but not very open to committing to going to a Bible study at someone else’s house. Pray that we can start a community Bible study soon. We only have 2 weeks left in this burungie. Also this week, we have started a teen Bible study every night. WE do it our Burungie hall. WE have had around 11 teenagers each time. They want a relationship with God but they still have a lot of questions to be answered before they make that commitment. Pray for wisdom and understanding for them. I am really excited about ministering to them!

Now onto funny stories…..so I have this boy in the village who is in love with me, Ray. He can not speak English so he always makes all the little kids tell me I am beautiful and that he likes me for him. Whenever it is my turn to cook, he always starts my fire for me J Also, we were invited to the local witch doctors golden anniversary party. What an experience. There were probably 300 people there. Of course, they all stared at us all the time. We got escorted to the inner room, with all the important people. At this point, we had gotten separated from our translators. Therefore, we had not clue what they were saying to us. They proceeded to unwrap a WHOLE pig. I am talking skin and all. So we, along with their help, filled our plates with pork, rice, ect. And just smiled and swallowed. Then they put chairs for us right in front of a stage where the band was playing. I sat by some government official who kept telling me he was single. What do you say to that….good for you?! Everyone wanted us to dance but of course we couldn’t we are southern Baptist missionaries J There were so many other funny things that happened this week. I can’t wait to get home and share them with you.

God is moving and I am so excited! I can see Him everywhere! We have 2 more weeks in this burungie. Keep praying for salvation and a house church. Pray for me, I have been pretty sick. Pray for our team! Pray for my family! Thank you so much! I love you all!
