Random, interesting information..

When we were looking for a house and starting to get desperate to move into the village ASAP, a lady in the village offered to take the girls into her home till we found a house. She encouraged us to move in that evening and we were very tempted to do so, but decided to take some time to think and pray about it since some of the group members felt uneasy about this decision. After talking to some of the village people, it was discovered that she was the prime suspect in the murder of her son. Her son was involved in the murder of someone else and another one of her sons is in prison. Thankfully God kept us out of that situation. We will continue visiting her because God wants everyone to be saved, but we are glad we found an alternative place to live.

Recently we had a new problem come up. There are Jehovah witnesses whom we have not met yet that visit our village and play with the kids. They took the kids to the river one day without telling their parents and this caused quite a commotion in the village because the parents got scared and called the police. We were not aware of this situation because we were not in the village that day, but learned of this later on when we tried to gather the kids together to do another Sunday school lesson. We were shocked that so few kids came. When we asked why there were so few, they told us that a lot of the parents do not allow the kids to come play with us because they confuse us with the Jehovah witnesses. Please pray with us to resolve this issue and help us win the parents trust in us again.

One of the most interesting things that has happened to us on the second day that we moved to the village one of the young guys that helped us repair our home stole our lap-top. We were only gone from the house for about 40 minutes handing out fliers. The most interesting thing about this was that he told us he felt like we were accusing him when we did not even mention anything about the lap-top to him. He helped us cook the meat for our dinner that night and then left. Came back about two hours later with the lap-top, all wet and muddy but it was there. He put the blame on someone else making it seem like he did us a huge favor by getting it back for us. The next day he brought the charger for the lap-top. We talked to some others from the village and we know 99% that it was him who had stolen it. By having all this occur this gave us a chance to have our group bond even more and put all our faith in God.
