We have been in Virginia for over 4 weeks now, that means we are over half-way done! It has been good, but the excitement is rising over the reality that we will be arriving in another country in a few weeks. We have the excitement of the different country, culture, etc.; but there is also that fear of the unknown (mine-what will I have to eat?? ;-).
The Lord has really shown us alot the last few weeks, He is teaching us how to abide in Him in all things. We realize that we will be arriving into a dark area spiritually and we will need to be walking close to Christ. This last week they taught us how to teach the Bible through storying. This will be one of the main ways that we will minister in West Africa. I am excited to be able to tell the women stories on how important they are in the eyes of Christ.
Autumn and I decided to prepare for West Africa yesterday and wore bandannas. I think I'm going to like this, bye bye curling iron! Jon wanted to see what he looks like in one (quite amusing!).
This next week is Security Training! This could be a very interesting week.......we will be seeing Scott. Have a great week! We hope to see some of you in a few!!!!
In Christ,
Teresa
