Please Pray

Please Pray for the team that is in Kingston right now. One of the
women on the team just got a call this morning that her husband
was killed last night in a car accident. Please pray that things will
come together smoothly as they get her arrangements set up to fly back
and for comfort for her, her family, and the team that is there with her now.
Thanks.

Meet GVSU

This past week we had a team from Grand Valley State University (in Michigan)
come to serve with us. Part of the team worked in the school helping to set
up bulletin boards in the class rooms for teachers. The other part of the
team was working on the farm helping to finish the new pig pens, and
started the construction of a room to butcher animals.

Unreal!

Today I found out (after all my letters that were stamped and ready to go

were returned to me) that the price of stamps went up 100%
Yes thats right 100%

in one jump the price of stamps doubled! so I then had to add another stamp

to all my letters. Now hopefully they get sent before the price doubles again!
Craziness!
