I'm doing great here. The weather is awesome! Cool - enough for a cover of blanket at night. The days are almost 80 degrees. We are busy with getting the ministry wheels turning here again. Allen and vicky were in the states from December until March 4th. So, there is a lot to be done on the compound with the houses and grounds. Then there are the ministry groups that we are getting back into the groove. The old folks home will have a service and refreshments tomorrow. Today we are going to the village and have an event for the children. We'll be visiting an orphanage where the oldest is about 5 and then on Friday Saturday and Sunday we will holding Women's Seminars. Louise and I will share Friday then on Saturday and Sunday I will be doing all the teaching. Louise is doing a lot of teaching during this week while I am helping to serve.
We all pitch in on food preparation and clean up. then we have our own houses to which we retire. Each afternoon we walk to the beach and are amazed at how much it changes each day! The sunsets are georgeous. I think I could live here!!!
Last year, mission teams were cancelled due to the political unrest over the president situation. This year, with a new president in office that everyone is satisfied with, things are very normal here. So, we are expecting a good mission team season. I'm hoping to work down here for about four weeks this summer in July/August. We can take more teams if you know of anyone who wants to go on a mission trip that will be great for young and the old. It is like going on a Vacation with a Purpose!!! Also, if there is anyone you know that are considering to go in to mission ministry Vicky will be holding a school for missionary training for 12 days August 1-12 of which I will be a part of the staff.
OK, well just wanted to let you know what we're about. Allen and Vicky want you to know you are invited to come and visit any time.
Love ya
Debbie
