We are so not in Kansas anymore

Reality, I do believe, is starting to set in because I am starting to see things that make me go wow that is different! Today as we were driving, there was a truck just packed with people all around the bed of the truck. As you looked further, you could see a casket, and it was just a wow moment as you realize that is how they carry the body to the funeral. Along the street was a crowd of people in shirts saying something like, "In Loving Memory." And that part of what a funeral is here.

American food is very accessible here, but you have to pay top dollar for it. An example would be a box of mac and cheese costs 2 bucks here instead of 50 cents like I am used to seeing at home. It is nice to have the "comfort" of seeing things from home, but I am quite content with their rice and sauce so far. The biggest thing for me with the food is how much pepper they put in it! My word... I thought my mouth was on fire yesterday! :)

We met with the team again yesterday, and I think we are pretty set for Tuesday. Lisa and I have some work ahead of us as we prepare to teach. I am excited, but at the same time, I am getting nervous at the thought of standing up in front of lots of kids and teaching about the most important thing in life. Pray God gives me the words to say. I don't want these kids to miss out on truth.

I tried to post pictures on here yesterday, but I can't get it to work. Hopefully I will be able to get that working soon, so I will be able to share just a little bit of Liberia with you.

Thanks again for all of your prayers.
