Another fun-filled day in Morogoro

Today was another day in Morogoro full of eye-opening experiences and hard work. Debbie and Mallary went with the local nurse Winnie on house visits. They learned so much and were so over-whelmed with the poverty and many HIV/AIDS needs. Winnie has about 384 HIV/AIDS patients and which only consists of 5 wards; there are 19 wards in Morogoro. God has worked in so many unbelievable ways and though some experiences such as the home visits give a sense of hopefulness, yet, God is still working through the local church people and our team to give many of these of people hope. Tonight Kevin spoke out of James 5:13 it talked about the power of prayer, how real prayer is and how in order to cure HIV/AIDS it will truly take a miracle. It will take prayer from you back home, us when we get home, making the relationships and staying in touch with them. Today Vickie, Ann, and Colleen continued teaching VBS and let me tell you those kids absolutely loved it. They learned new songs, colored pictures, and make jewelry. Tomorrow we will be going to mecumi- The National Park. Today we were able to kinda tell Umba who we would like to go and once he told Paul and Frankie, some of the people we have been working with, I got chills down my spine, their reaction was incredible, they were jumping up and down and hugging each other, and just were so excited that they got the opportunity to go with us. As a team we are experiencing so many moving things. I would like to ask you to continue to pray for our team, the hearts here, for God reveal how he wants to use us for the remainder of our time here.
