Week in Bamako

Hey there everyone...well I guess everyone that reads this..haha Sorry it has been a week since I have written anything. I traveled to Bamako for a week and God had me busy. It was great that I could do and see so many people while I was there. First, of all I got to do Easter with other English speaker. We had a non sunrise/sunrise service. We didn't make it right at sunrise but it was earlier enough. It started at 7am. My heart just leaped as I was able to praise Him in English and with other English speaking people. He has RISEN was said to me and the response.. HE HAS RISEN INDEED! My lung were still healing so after 2 hours of talking and laughing, my lungs decided they were done. I went home and went to bed but VERY HAPPY! I also got to see some journey women whose 4 years were up and they were headed back to America. I wasn't sure I would get to see them again so that was an added gift. We also had our big boss in town to meet with us as a group and individually. He was presenting our Mali bosses with their 25 year service pin. It was fun to be apart of that. We had a luncheon to celebrate that with them. When we got started, the big boss called me up first. I was very surprised. He presented me with my 10 year service pin. WOW, can you believe it. I have been on the field 10 years. Praise God for all that He has done in those 10 years!
Thank you all for your prayer for my lungs as well. I was able to get back to my regular workout program today after taking off a week. My lungs were GREAT but my body is hurting...smile Praise God with me about how well He takes care of me.
