Jeana
G’day mate!
This is a warning to tell you that I am extremely hyper and this might affect my writing, so just a heads up.
Today I started out teaching in Boroma, and I was actually not very nervous at all. God has completely calmed my nerves and everything, it’s quite amazing. I felt that this group was definitely more attentive than the church before, but I had this yuck feeling the whole time, and didn’t really feel like I was being the best that God made me to be. He totally still used it though.
There was only one guy who made a decision today, but there were a lot more marriages in the church than in the others. Normally it’s one or two married couples and today there were more than seven or eight; which is AWESOME! But this guy stood up and said “Yes, I want to make a commitment to save sex until marriage.” He was the only boy who stood, but nevertheless, he stood firm. Super encouraging to see the Holy Spirit work in this young man’s life.
I love experiencing everything: from tasting “goat nuggets” to touching the Zambezi, everything has been new and exciting!
Yes, today I touched the Zambezi river. It was extremely NEAT to see :0
Anyways, I really need a shower and although I would love to stay up and type, I must go. The sugar rush has dried up and now the crash landing.
Please continue praying that God’s will would be done and that we puny, little humans would jump out of the way. We love you and tomorrow morning we are eating WAFFLES FOR BREAKFAST!!!!!

Jeana – you are amazing. I love reading your writtings – they are very lively and God is working a mighty work through and in you. I hear it in your words! Sleep good tonight and enjoy your waffles! Funny how something so simple can be so greatly appreciated.
My love to you all and a special kiss good night to my Sweet Kelly!
Jeana,
God will be using all the “seeds” you are planting. I think I will stick with chicken nuggets intead of goat nuggets. Enjoy your waffles.
Love ya,
Debbie
Jeana my friend,
it is really strange to think of how youre on a whole other continent and its kinda fun to try to think of what you look like standing in front of all those people that dont even speak the same language as you teaching them about the same God that i am teaching little children here in America about. i cant even begin to tell you how hug deprived i am or how much i miss you. i know that God will keep you safe and that He is using you and thats totally an uplifting thought. If even one person is saved, the whole trip is worth it and i have red about many salvations. i love you.
Hey Jeanna,
Praise God that He is working; “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.” (John 5:17) Just think, Jesus is at work in you and in the hearts and minds of those in the crowd. Some of it you may see and some not, but be assured that God is at work through your TEAM’s ministry. Believe God and Him who He has sent! Is the cardboard house still in one piece?? I love you all.
Jeana, that comment that looks like it was from me is actually from Emma. She was home for the day and used my computer.
Still praying for you and hope you are encouraged even after a long day. Are you taking lots of pictures??
Love and prayers
Christie
Jeana here! Yes, the cardboard house is doing great! And THEY LOVE IT! Everyone laughs when the roof goes on- they think it’s the best thing ever
Hi Emma, I wish I was there, I would hug you! I am hug deprived too. I’m about to go play soccer. I love you!
