Hello Friends!
I'm here in Monrovia. We got in last night without ANY problems with our
luggage or weight restrictions or anything except Rachel didn't get her
checked bags yet. She should be getting them tomorrow. Pray that they would
come through without any problems! Please join us in praising the Lord for
the traveling mercies we have had so far.
We stayed at ACFI headquarters down by the beach last night. We got to meet
another American girl who is teaching at a high school and college in town
here. She is from Virginia and has been here for five months and will be
here almost until we leave. That was encouraging for me and Rachel to see
that it is being done by someone else.
I have been so glad already to have Rachel here. I'm praising the Lord
that she was able to make this adventure as well. We had our first
experience with a giant spider last night. I don't know if I can do the
story justice but I will try. I was going to the bathroom to take care of
some of my nightly duties and being the great white hunter that I am I
decided to look around the room carefully and make sure that everything was
as it should be. :) Well I discovered a rather large spider perched on the
side of the shower/bath wall... I called in Rachel to take a look and she
decided it was a moment that should be captured on video. I ended up getting
into the tub and trying to swat it with my shoe... that large bug was so
quick it got away... so I think we will be dealing with him again sometime
in the near future... my reactions will be quicker and i will get him...
It's super humid, it's hot but the humidity makes it a hotter hot, a
sticky hot... i don't mind it too much, i just haven't had much energy yet
but it could be the lack of sleep i had going into the trip and then the jet
lag as well. Pray for quick recovery time.
Please also pray for sweet times with Jesus... that we would be filled to
overflowing to pour forth for Him... for His glory... one day at a time.
Pray that we would make this home and not simply "survive" it but really put
down roots and live and love and all of those things here...
We haven't gotten a phone yet but soon. Please remember if you are planning
on calling here it's 8 hours ahead of you and it is good to buy phone cards
through speedypin.com. Any other questions on that please feel free to ask
my mom.
I love you all and am so blessed by your prayers and support. Please feel
free to write. For now, we have internet access daily if we want to and it
looks like while we are at the orphange it will probably be about once a
week. Feel free to write. I would love to hear and keep up to date on your
lives.
to HIM be all the glory.
