LIFE CHANGE IN AFRICA

I talked with Justin today. They are doing really well. Here is an email we got from one of the mom's. She gave permission to post it on here...

I just got off the phone with Jamie. It truly sounded like she was next door. I could hear Lorraine in the background calling "Hi Mom!!" They all had just finished their evening meal and were getting ready for bed. The long flight over was good, esp. the first leg where everyone had their own TV. Most slept on the second flight. Everyone has stayed in good health. Their compound where they are staying is in quite a nice part of Johannasburg. (great view from atop a hill overlooking the city) The beds (yes beds, not cots) are comfortable. The food, according to Jamie, is unique, this coming from one of the world's pickiest eaters. A little chilly in the mornings but very nice during the day. The best part of the trip…the culture, the people and truly feeling that God is working thru them. The worst part…Crouchy "borrowing" her bag of Cheetos and never seeing it again. My prayers will continue for their safety as they journey out daily to do God's work.

Loving Mom in California,
