Bakau!!!

Hey we got are site information this week!!! We are going to Bakau, Gambia, Africa. It is right on the coast of Africa beside the Alantic Ocean. We are all getting really excited. It is exciting when we get more information about it. Recently we found out what kind of clothes are respectable there and the size of the church.(Which is around 60) But there is still a lot of information that we still have to find out!

We want to thank everyone who is supporting us and praying for us! We are so amazed by how excited and supportive everyone is. All of us have met our half way mark for our fudraising that was to be in by the begining of February, so thank you to all you who helped us with that!

Every week all four of us and andrea get together to train for our LST trip. We have started preparing the lessons and learning what a reading sesssion is going to look like. Some of us are going to start friendspeak to gain experience and help people in our own city with their english. A couple weeks ago during one of our training sessions our team created our mission statement:

"We want to share the message of God’s grace in order to fulfill the Kingdom of God by sowing seeds in others using the Word as the teacher. We will also live our lives as representatives of God’s Kingdom in hopes of shining like lights to all people who see us. In doing this, we hope to encourage fellow Christians and learn to grow our faith as well as others."

Next week for our training all four of us have to go shopping for food and cook for six people. But each of us can only spend three dollars! So that should be a challenge. We are doing this because while in Bakau we will have a budget for food and we will have to prepare our meals for ourselves. So hopefully all goes well!
