"My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him" Psalm 62:5

Today was a slow and easy day, as we slept in until 7am, then began trying to email family and friends. Unfortunately the internet provider was uncooperative and we finally gave up after an hour or so. Foster had a much deserved day off, so we were without transportation. We spent time this Sunday morning in prayer, and then loaded additional items onto the truck to take to George tomorrow when we deliver the rototiller and the trailer to the project site. We walked to the nearby cemetery this afternoon and found there is a Christian area, a Jewish area, a Muslim area, and a war veteran memorial which had the only well-kept grave sites. Most were overgrown and missing identification, or poorly marked. Tomorrow will be much busier, and will also be Ron's first on road experience with the new truck. Thankfully, there is not a security system on the truck yet!

Good morning Ron and Mary Sue.

It's almost 7 AM here in Minnesota and my family is still asleep. Time shifts...I'll telling you.

I thought and prayed about you on the long journey home. Thank God you have choosen to stay. There is so much good work to be done in Zambia.

I was laughing out loud reading about your experiences with Foster's truck. I could just imagine the sight.

I'll talk to you soon.

In His name,

Jon

Mary Sue and Ron. Missed you both on the trip home. It was long and "adventuresome." Many things trying to get in the way of us making it home on Sunday.....but we did.

Do you have a picture of the rototiller that we might be able to send to the folks at First church in Strongsville? If so, you could probably email it to Rae.

God bless you both on your mission there for the next two months(+).

Hellos to Kare and Steve with many blessings for them also.

Doing Christ's work is a good thing!
