We're Back

We've finally made it back to Freetown. Not that we were anxious to leave Banta, but we had planned to leave last Tuesday and didn't actually leave until Saturday! We are continually in a process of being stretched, learning patience and flexibility. Which are all good things, there are just times when I wish God would just let me rest! But now we are on break and while we haven't had much rest yet(we brought a little girl back with us for surgery, more on that below), it has been nice to just have a little change. However, we did enjoy our time in Banta. There is no other place on earth like it! I wish that everyone could experience it for themselves and not just by my incomplete sketch writing. Thank you again for all your prayers. Banta is a place full of diseases, infections, and germs, and when you have children hanging from your limbs constantly, it's a bit hard to not share some of these gifts. However, the Lord has blessed us greatly with good health and I know that is because of all your prayers. I ask that you always remember the people of Banta when you pray. They are a people so blinded by their own cultural, spiritual beliefs that it is hard for them to let go of those beliefs completely and follow after the one true God.
