Jambo, Habari Gani?

Hello friends and family.

The moose is in Africa.
This is an amazing place and God is blessing the people so amazingly well. It is Wednesday here about 11:10 am and the students are all getting together for two more classes and then lunch.  I am so thankful for the patience that God has given me, Africa time is so amazing. i seriously could live here you get to things when you get to it. when things happen or don't happen some people say this is Congo. I LOVE IT!  

I got a funny story to share with you, some would think not so funny but here in Africa you have to keep things funny or find something to laugh about at times.  So i was taking a shower and after i was finished i was putting away all my clothes and i heard this noise that sounded like a metal cup hitting the floor, It just so happened to be the turning knob for the shower. Water started coming from everywhere. the shower head, the spout and where the handle had broken off. So i start trying to put the handle back on and stop this small water fall from spilling into the house. i was successful, well it thought i was.  Some time passes and i hear laughing and a racket coming from the hall which is now 4:30 am and " SHOOT GO GET GRANT" i walk in the hall and water is about ankle high. HAHAH the girls down the hall from me their room was flooded and everything was wet. SO i said " SHOOT GO GET JUSTIN" we finally had to call a few people and get the water shut off. Talk about a wake up call. But it was funny we had a good time all being wet and battling back the tidal wave of african water.  The houses here are built to look nice but the pluming and drainage is not so good.

But I hope and pray everyone is well. thank you for the prayers.

things you can be praying for:
  • UCBC- all faculty and students
  • The construction here 
  • All the teachers here now
  • Brandon Holmes he is is the middle of raising support, and starting training soon. then coming here.
  • my health that it stays in good shape.
  • My Swahili learning to be great and productive. ( it is already)
My Mwalimu (tracher) is retired but still helps out people that come to work at CI-UCBC.
He is very good at what he does. He does not speak english so you can imagine that it is a little slow but i am slowly picking up enough Swahili and body language to get him.

K love you all.

G-Haun,
You're the man! So glad to hear that things are going well and you're having a good time thus far; I'm sure God will make each day an adventure with many joys and challenges. Thanks for the prayers bro, God is coming through big time in support raising. Let me know your skype name so I can catch you on there sometime. Check out Ephesians 5:10, chew on it. Much love bro, SEE YOU SOON.
