hello!

Hello everyone, it's lindsey! thank you so much for all of your prayers and support...i have loved reading all of your comments they are such an encouragement! I don't have long but i wanted to write a little and let you all know i am doing amazing. God has given our team soooo many opportunites to tell people about who He is! Today we finished our first hut for a girl who was abducted for 4 years...one of the girls Jennie and i were told we were real african women because we carried water on our heads (mine was very small but i was still proud) and then we went to a school where many decisions were made for Christ! We leave for the land on saturday morning so continue praying for us and our health bc we will need it when we get out there! i love you all and once again thank you so much for ALL your prayers...they are working =) there is so much to say, i can't wait to get back and tell you all everything! oh and jen and linz i have been using ALL my hand sanitizer so i don't catch anything!!!

Also thank you mom and jane for the medicine bag i was laughed at at the beginning but everyone is very thankful i have ever medicine possible now...haha! I love you all!

  9. Hi Lindz,
    Everything sounds awesome. You are going to have to demonstrate some of your new found abilities when you get home! If I tried to balance water on my head, it would give me another opportunity to have a shower!! Keep up the wonderful work and may God richly bless you and the team and all those you come in contact with. We love you and are very proud of you.
    You are in our daily prayers.
    God Bless.
    Debbie, Tim and Brandon

  10. Hi Lindsey, We are Rebeccah's grands. You sound so sweet. We are just so thankful she has girls and guys like all of you to share in the awesome experience of sharing God's love and grace. when I brushed my teeth this morning, and was running the water I thought of you all carrying the precious water that we take for granted. needless to say I turned it off real quick. Our love and prayers to Da team.
