IN SUDAN!!!

Good afternoon (early morning for you!) from Mundri, Sudan!!!!

We arrived safely a couple of hours ago and have already had lunch (rice, beans, tomatoes and onions, and bread...we hear this will be the norm for us while here), orientation from Jeffreys on what to expect for the week, and a visit to Former Commissioner of Mundri Bullen's home. We think a Commissioner is sort of like a county mayor.

Change of plans....we will no longer be staying in Lui tonight; instead, we will be in Mundri the entire trip. Good news - this means we will have a "shower" the whole time! We will be going to 3 churches tomorrow...Yancy and Joy will be going to Andrew's father's church, John will be speaking at another church, and Eric at another. The rest of us will be going to those churches as well.

The plane trip here went very smoothly - the journey was beautiful and we got to see the Nile! Africa, at least this part, is so green!

Praise the Lord! - all of our medications made it in!! This afternoon or tomorrow we will plan to repack and prepare for Monday's clinic (we thought we were starting tomorrow, but that has changed also).

Our anxiousness has drastically decreased. We are so excited to be here! Please continue to pray for our energy, our unity, and that Jesus will be glorified in everything.

Everyone is well. Tripp has a bit of a cold, so please pray for his health because we need him!

We continue to be thankful for you and all of your prayers!

We love you,
Rebecca and Joy and the boys
