Weekly Update

Again, time is so short! Things have been going well, it's been good to be on campus again. Please keep us in your prayers, our team is starting to get tired and sick. Three people got malaria this week, but they are taking the cure and are doing well. We are going back to the dorms tomorrow to followup with the group of girls we met last week, so I am very excited! Our theme for this summer is going "big wave surfing" every day, going out and sharing the gospel and trusting in God to do big things and following where he leads. But we don't just want to teach other people to surf, we want to teach them to be surf instructors too. We only have a little more than 2 weeks left here, and when we leave we want to be training people who will continue on after us. Our team leaders Craig and Bryn will be staying for 3-5 years, but we also want to teach students how to share their faith and to grow in their relationship with God. I had an awesome conversation with a muslim student for an hour and a half today just about who Jesus is and who he said he was. We are meeting again next week to talk more if you want to remember her in your prayers, her name is Maimouna. Also be in prayer for my friend Julie I wrote about earlier, her father just passed away today and although I haven't gotten to see her since I know he was the one who supported them and her friend was really worried about what this would mean for them financially as well as dealing with the grieving process. Prayers for comfort for them and for wisdom for us to know how to help her best. My time is up, but I will try to write more later!!! Blessings and love from Cote d'Ivoire!!!
