My time is almost up in Africa. So that means working a little harder to get the  Book of Hope to the kids and to pour Gods love in their life. We are traveling more than ever. The team had a little time off at a Game Park. It was a great time just to drive around and watch hippos, cheetahs, impalas, ect. Just grazing around. The village people certified the team as Africans. We had to find a chicken and kill it. Ya. It was so Cool!!!! The village didn’t have a great source of produce food from the near by towns (which were six hours away) so we had to find are own food some times, and that was a trip. So we found what the people called “The chicken man” he would give us two chickens for 60 rand (8 dollars in U.S. money) and he would only sell them to us at a certain time and at a certain place. Which happened to be a 10 at night somewhere in the bush. It was really weird. Finding an African at night is not easy. So after a half hour of walking around in the dark he would pop out of no where with two chickens. We gave him the money he gave us the chicken and then he just disappeared in to the bush. I don’t now a drug deal goes down but I’m pretty sure that it was somewhat like what we went through. To make a long story short. The next day me and another guy on the team (Scott) went in the back of the house like thing that we were staying at to kill these two chickens. So we open the box that they were in and one jumped out and ran away. The second one jumped up but I got it by the neck before it got away. So now we only have one chicken. So we get a wooden board then seat the chicken’s neck on the board grab the axe and well you get the idea. And I tell you what it was a mighty good chicken.

My team has traveled through Swaziland, to the border of Mozambique, to the border of Zimbabwe, to a city called Pretoria, to the border of Botswana, to Lesotho, and then to and city called Portrastroom all with in a week in a half. So we are staying on are feet.

Prayer Request-

Abby- is one of the girls on my team and she has come down with a bad illness. She’s all stuff up and running a high fever. So pray that she recovers quickly.

Sean (me)- I sprained my ankle to a point were the doctors say that I need to stay off it for Six weeks. And me being stubborn am refusing to lie down while there are schools to go to. So pray that I heal quickly.

The Team- that our attitudes stay right. That we are looking to God in every thing we do and just that we but Him first in everything we do. Because were Hear for God not for are own pleasure.

Thank you for your support and prayers God bless.

GOD CALLED ME, SO I WENT, AND NOW I’M HERE
