Hi all--
I wasn't planning on sending an update out again so soon, but wanted to let you know that we need special prayers right now.

We have had a rather rough beginning to our time back here in Africa. The night before school started at Dakar Academy, there was a terrible storm with lightning; we heard a pop then the next morning realized it had fried our modem and router. Just a few days ago we finally got everything fixed. Also, our refrigerator wasn't working for about three weeks, but now is up and going. It sure is nice to have ice cubes and cold milk and water! It is very hot and humid right now, which really zaps your energy.

The main thing right now is that it is Ramadan here. This can sometimes be a time when the people here are more open to the gospel. They are questioning more. We personally can't communicate much since we don't know the language, however, we can pray. I wanted to let you know about a website where you can get a booklet on praying for 30 days during Ramadan. It is a little late, but it doesn't matter, just pray the 30 days anyway! Here is the website: http://www.30daysprayer.com

Also, on my last blog update I gave you Jason's mailing address. I thought I would just let you know that his birthday is coming up on September 11th, so thought it would be nice if everyone sent a card to him.

Talk to you later!
