Wow....So much has happened and I'm not quite sure where to begin. Last week was good, but once again very hard. I got a little homesick last week but the Lord has called me here for now...so I just have to deal with it. Oh our getaway weekend was wonderful. Very relaxing and we actually have another one this coming weekend. Anyway, last week.
On Friday I got sick. Lovely. This is fun: I threw up in the village road where everyone could see. Luckily, I had a bag so it wasn't that bad, but it was still pretty bad. I stayed at Tim and Kate's all day on Friday and had diarrhea. Good times. :-/ So then I went back to my house on Saturday and everything's good now. Sunday we went to church, then to eat some good American food. Also, we went to the artisan cafe and I got most everyone's presents. O boy. O and Kari, one of the other girls in N'Gor, got sick yesterday. So that leave 1 person out of 8 in N'Gor that hasn't gotten sick with throwing up. Satan is alive and working. Speaking of that......here's where we need some major prayer: Today our family is making a sacrifice to their "family spirit" aka a demon. They have invited us to go. We are at the cyber cafe now so that maybe we don't have to go. It's very possible though, that we might end up going. So, we just ask that you pray that the Lord would give us wisdom about what to do and say and yea just for the situation. Also, last night I woke up deathly terrified because I sensed a not good thing in our room. I was sweating profusely, my heart has never beat that fast, and I heard weird noises and it just wasn't good. Leah and I prayed and it was gone after that. During that I also asked the Lord to wake some of ya'll up to pray so if that happened to you Thank You and please continue praying! Please pray that I will not be fearful because I have no reason to be because of the Lord Jesus Christ that lives inside me has defeated them and I have his power! So, that's the start of this week! :D
On a lighter note, this weekend is our getaway weekend like I mentioned before. We're going to eat at some nice places and go to the local hotel and swim and relax. And then this is the fun part. On Sunday, we're going to ride camels!!!! I'm so excited and I'm going to take lots of pictures!
So, to wrap up Africa is good but hard, like I keep saying, and the Lord is working and that's what's getting me through. I miss you all and love you!
Love, love, love,
Jenny
P.S. Please pray for my buddy Mallory who is in Thailand for 3 weeks doing the Lord's work!

Jenny! We're back from Texas, and had a good time seeing old friends and meeting new ones. On the flight to Texas I met a Messianic Jew!! She was so neat. I have her email address and hope to keep in touch. Her name is Sara. I'm just about finished unpacking (a few more days' worth should do it). Our new furniture was delivered this morning...couch, loveseat, table and four chair/stools. Tomorrow night Rachel and the girls will be here for a couple days...on their way to her folks. Praying for you and proud of all that you do. Mr. Roberts sent us the interview... you look and sound great! Counting the days...love you, Mom and Dad.
