Well, all are safe and doing well (yes, Mom, I'm drinking water :)! We had a small hold up with baggage at the airport here, but we are doing great now. This morning, we went to a local church, and it was neat to see the song leaders (and everybody) just singing and clapping and dancing in place. There were four, yes, four offerings, and I was amazed at how everybody gave, and sang, and danced, and praised God. We sang several, maybe four or five songs, and everybody that had the microphone said, "Praise God," or, "Praise the Lord," and there were a couple guys who interpreted into French what others said in English. One neat thing was the testimonies. One fellow, that played the keyboard, had been in charge of several children who got sick, and they are all doing well now, Tim Heiney shared both our ordeal at the airport and his personal testimony about having cancer in his kidney, and finding a friend that was a specialist in liver, pancreas, and kidney, and Tim has just two little scars on his stomach, rather than one long one on his side. Some of the children said bible verses, and sang a song. Afterwards, we ate Chawarma, which were flat, tortilla-like bread, filled with either chicken or beef, french fries, onions if you wanted them, sauce, tomatoes, and maybe something else. It was good! This evening we go back to the church, and it's our turn to sing, and tomorrow we start our clinics!
