Spaghetti!!!

Hey guys, it's Jennie and Lindsey. We arrived safely to the land this afternoon and we just finished eating dinner...they made us SPAGHETTI! We settled into our huts and some of the team went fishing with Bill in the Nile! (Although they didn't catch anything) We are livin' the life on the land! There is even one toilet with a SEAT on it! We carried the big jugs of water on our heads today and got to take bucket baths! We love and miss you all and will try to write again soon! Thanks so much again for your prayers and support!

  1. Hey Lindz and Jennie--we have been checking the blog every hour to see if you would be able to update when you arrived at the Land. so glad to hear you have a toilet with a seat--It has to beat squatting--Good thing you learned to carry water on your heads--are we going to get any pictures! We'd love to see your smiling faces. We are assuming you are on someones personal computer rather that one at an internet cafe'--maybe you can stick and SD card in and attach a picture or two or three. Have you seen any animals roaming about-- you know the kind we normally see in the zoo!
    Love you Mom and Dad

  2. lindz,
    hey, i'm glad to hear that all went well. someone else noted that you guys were stopped by the police but that all was fine.
    and did you really miss the chance to go fishing? who knows - maybe if you had gone the rest would have caught something - lol.
    and i'm proud of you for the past few weeks in the states preparing yourself to eat "different foods". but it looks like so far all has been rather traditional stuff - chicken, fries \ chips, spaghetti....?
    i have not been surprised that all has gone well and that each of you have already had some great experiences. we can't wait for you to get back and share with all of us.
    everyone asks how you are and to let us know how much they are praying for you and the others.
    take care and know we love you and so grateful you are where you know God has directed you to go for the summer.
    you guys also pray for us and our teens as we go to camp in 2 weeks.
    love you,
    daddy

  3. It's awesome to hear about what God's doing through you guys! I'm def. praying for God to give you supernatural strength these next couple days as you do more physical labor...He's so awesome at taking you beyond what you're capable of doing yourself! Zach, Jennie, love you guys...and if Vince is still alive over there, tell him I love him and miss him and am praying my heart out for him and everyone here wants to hear how he's doing:)

    We are keeping up with your progress from day to day. Your mom and dad are keeping us informed.

You and your friends are in our prayers everyday. We are so proud of you and what you are doing for the cause of Christ.
