News from Doro!

We were so excited to get word from Andrew and Dean in Doro. Here is what they had to share with us (will finish tomorrow, battery is on empty):

Yesterday, (sat) we went to the market and that was a fascinating cultural experience seeing people of different tribes. We even met a UN convoy made up of Cambodians and they are here to demine all the land mines around here. According to Dean, they are some of the best in the world to do this kind of job. Saturday was supposed to be an off day, but God has brought a very sick child with cerebral malaria, a women with TB and another child struggling with pneumonia in the nutrition clinic. I am getting my feet wet learning from Sara (a physician's assistant). this morning we had church right outside the compound under trees. it is the exact location where early missionary had a house when SIM first made its presence. just 50 yards away, I can see the tombstone of 3 missionaries that lost their lives here for the cause. what a privilege and honor to worship along with my Mabaan brothers and sisters! Dean and I are doing quite well and well taken care of. we are getting to know the ST and \LT missionaries here and each has story of sacrifice and dedication for the cause of the gospel. thank you for your prayers, God has certainly taught and shown us much in just a day and a half. We look forward to what god has in store!
