We finished up the kids camp in Niena yesterday, which went extremely well. Monday we talked about Daniel and the Lion's Den, Tuesday Joshua and Jericho, and Wednesday David and Goliath. Some of my favorite little kiddos had a bad case of malaria, and I was holding one while she was shaking through her chills. It is so rampant out here, and it breaks my heart to see all these little kids sick. Other than that, the camp ran well. We had another team come here to help so there are a lot of people here!
Today we started the kids camp in Finkola, we were expecting about 15 kids and 160 showed up! There is only one Christian family in this village so please pray that there will be a great revival in this town. I know God will do great things! We are expecting more kids to show up tomorrow, so we are looking at about 200 kids meeting in a small courtyard.
Last Sunday we went to a party for a baby dedication within the church. It was AMAZING! I danced with the Africans for about an hour and I think that they were suprised that a tubabou (white person) had rythym. I had so much fun and it was so uplifting and encouraging.
We head back up to Bamako on Saturday to stay with the Roeddings before we stay with a Malian family. Please pray for me, because I am feeling very discouraged. There is a lot of competition out here, which I don't want to be prevalent. And I also feel discouraged because apparently missionaries must vote Republican. I'm normally pretty easy going when it comes to this, but for some reason it's really making me feel ostracized. Please pray that God will take away the competition and these oppressive feelings.
Thank you all for your support and prayers! They are GREATLY appreciated!
