Our journey continues...

Just a quick update...it's been a long day.  It's Friday night.  We've arrived safely to our next destination.  We're experiencing so much diversity on this trip!  This morning we were on the top of the mountain wearing wool hats and gloves and this afternoon we are in a tropical environment!  No one is complaining...

We got settled into our hotel and then went to our SPICE hostel nearby.  For those of you who don't know, the SPICE program is the BIC-sponsorship program for children in this area.  The children had prepared a special program for us to welcome us.  They are very excited to see us! 

Both Ken and Joleen shared a bit of how we are so excited to be here with them and look forward to being with them this weekend. 

The local pastor invited our group to his home for tea after the program.  We spent some time sharing with them.  Then, we came back to the hotel for supper. 

Tomorrow we begin our meetings with the church leaders as well as spending time with the children.  We will also be attending church service in the morning (Saturday is the day they worship here rather than Sunday).  Please pray for Joleen as she will be speaking to the group.  Please also pray for both Ken and Chris as they will be preaching.

We hope to share photos from our SPICE hostel later.  The internet connection is limited here right now.

Thanks for your continued prayers!
