Prayer Request Update

Lingala learning is going well. Pray that we would continue to learn and that we would be bold in inviting and seeking out conversation. Pray that we would not be discouraged when our progress is not as quick as we'd like.

We have been awed and blessed by the kindness and the warmth of the people here at the Elikya Center and in the local church. Pray that we would continue to build solid relationships with the Director of the Center and his family (Mowa, his wife Luta, and their kids), with Robert (our houseguy)and the CECU church leadership.

We have begun cooking a few meals a day for ourselves and this has proved to be a challenge. We cook over hot coals and we are unable to access our finances or go shopping here (there is no stable bank so we ask for funds from Mowa who is reimburse by ReachGlobal and then Robert goes shopping in the market because we wouldn't get fair prices). So explaining meals and amounts we want to make has been challenging and stretching in a good way. Please pray for good communication and patience as we relearn this skill.
