Some of you may remember Jean Reane. If the picture upload works, he is the boy with the tie-dye shirt, and he is one of those who excitedly accepted Christ last summer when the August team was down here for the Vacation Bible School. When he saw Nate (on the left if you don't know him), Jean's eyes lit up and he gave Nate a big hug.
After the movie, we were able to help out with the feeding program. On the menu? Rice and beans with a spaghetti/tomato sauce. It was humbling and fun to serve the kids this meal, which for many is the only one they will have today.
Afterward, many of us walked to the mission with a bunch of kids from the village holding our hands. Then we had some chow, took a tour of the mission compund, and hung out. Bye for now. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Thanks!

Okay, still not seeing a picture of Aaron. Did you lose him already, Nate? LOL Keep him busy. I want him to come home tired but with his eyes wide open.

Very familiar sight! I'm so excited to go in July, I can hardly stand it!!! Mike and Tori - did you see Daphterlie this time?
If you get a chance (& internet allows) post a pic of the whole team.
Tori - thanks for the activity sheets/notes for me! I'm having fun with that! Is your homework done yet? With all the delays, I thought you would have it all done by now! :)
Sounds like you all had a great first day there! I'll be praying for you guys!!! :)
Nate:
What a great feeling that must have been when the little boy remembered you!
I am praying for you and your team and also for Brenda and Diane back home!

That is so cool that Jean remembered Nate! When I read the last post, I was wondering if you guys saw him in Barbencourt.
It brought tears to my eyes to see Jean Renee again and that he gave Nate a huge smile and hug!!! Awesome!!
