WE THEN WALKED TO A VILLAGE ABOUT 1/2 HOUR AWAY AND SAW OVER 100 CHILDREN WHO WALKED TO A CENTRAL AREA FOR VARIOUS INJECTIONS AND MEDS FOR WORMS GIVEN MONTHLY. THIS WAS AN AREA OF MUD HUTS . VERY THANKFUL PEOPLE AND THE CHILDREN ARE SO CURIOUS ABOUT MAZUNGO'S(WHITE PEOPLE) . THE CHILDREN LOVE TO RUB MY SKIN TO SEE IF IT IS BLACK UNDERNEATH. THEY ESPECIALLY ARE FASCINATED WITH MY STRONG MUSCLES. I TAKE PICTURES AND THEY LIKE SEEING THEMSELVES. I FEEL SO THANKFUL FOR THE BLESSINGS I HAVE WHEN I SEE THERE POVERTY BUT THE CHILDREN PLAY AND HAVE FUN JUST LIKE IN AMERICA.

Mom, Thanks for the update. We were so excited to read your latest blog to find out how you are doing. I am amazed about what God is doing already through you. What a life-changing experience this is for you. Please know that the kids and I pray for you every morning, and Brian prays for you during our dinner prayer. We are so proud of you, yet we know that it is God who deserves all the praise for what He is doing through your hands and heart. Keep up the awesome work. We miss you very much and can't wait to see all the pictures and to hear a full report when you get back home! Blessings from Arizona. Tammy, Taylor, Preston, and Brian
