Praise the Lamb!

Hey everyone!
I didn't prepare a post before coming here so this is going to be bref. but I just wanted to update a little. Life here is pretty neat. I am however starting to really miss comfort. I would love so much to be able to hop in my car for some icecream. Going to the movies sounds like a blast right now too.

This weekend was amazing however!
We went on outreach, and the second day there we went into this little village to share some things and sing some songs with the kids. This boy brings up his little sister to myself and Jeann. The little girl had a horrible eye infection, so we prayed for it and watched the white in her eyes go from yellow to white. we then cleaned her eyes, and realized that this child was deaf and possibly mute, so I held her for an hour just praying for her, it was then time to leave and I was so sad, I didn't want to leave here there, but we left. we then came back that night and I find the girl again, and lay hands on her ears and start praying for her. her mother shows up and through body language tells us she is her mother. and then she is trying to tell me to stop praying for the childs ears. (I wonder then if the child was even deaf) the mother says "Salama in the little girl's ear and the girl responds with a bit of niose from her mouth. at this point I am so confused! I find a translater, and the mother tells him that before we came that morning, the child was deaf and mute, but she is now healed by Jesus. and the mom starts dancing. we were all joyous! God is so good!

I know this is hard for many of you, but it happened, I watched it with my very eyes.

I also killed a pig that weekend. haha. I'll tell this story later. my internet time is up. blast! Love you all! (sorry, I don't even have time to edit!)

That is so awesome how God is working through you.
It sounds like things are pretty gross there, I can totally relate though. I can tell you now, the best part about coming home is taking a long hot shower!
We miss you and love you!
