Greetings any and all who drop by to see what is happening!
We still are waiting for the less expensive modem, we still operate on three hours of electricity per evening, and we are getting calibrated on how to handle the foodstuffs and vegatables that we purchase on the street (everything goes off so quickly!)
I have a prayer letter that Jesse needs to post out here on the site, so people can hassle him, and be sure to wish him a Happy 25th Birthday on October 28th while you bug him to get the leter posted!
And thank you again for your prayers and support, we can only be here and doing what we do with your help from that side. Blessings on each and every one of you.

The British Council and Internet access
Greetings one and all, I have more time today, we are here in Freetown and Randy has left me at the BC to do some correspondance while he tries to get the other modem sim card to allow us to connect from TECT. We have had some ups and downs with connectivity, the first modem we bought was a thrill, until we found out it cost $10.00 US to connect up each hour! Then it was a shock! We are trying to get the less expensive system, but for now rely on the BC for our research and connecting to the outside world.
And I have new photos up on Facebook, for those of you with accounts, you can see Randy in his cap, gown and hood being introduced to the college at the Matriculation ceremony last Saturday. We are doing well, getting settled in here is relatively easy and the only hard thing is the intense heat, but this is Africa! Leah (Katey's roommate from Madrid) is here for the week and it is a delight to have her with us. She arrived in SL late in July and has not had any breaks until now. Yes, Katey, I am feeding her!
We continue to be grateful for your prayers. We are looking at the international financial crisis and realize that you all sacrifice so much to keep us here, Thank you. We feel very privilidged to be here and able to be of encouragement to the church here in SL. We are confident the connection issues will improve and we will be able to better update you from Jui. Meantime, enjoy the fall weather there in the US, really, enjoy anything under 95! Blessings on you all.
