Well, it is May 19th and this is the first time I've had to get on the Internet so no time to post pictures! Just know we all arrived safely but all our luggage did not! Jonathan is the only one who received ALL his luggage! Our flight to Frankfurt from Chicago was delayed so much so that we ALMOST missed our flight to Brussels. They had to transport us on 3 different buses to get to our plane which was way out on the tarmac.

Our drive to Gbarnga (pronouned Baahnga) The G is silent and the "r" is pronounced like a Southern saying it!! 11 of us were in a van with luggage (air conditioned van) and 2 were in a taxi with the boxes of manuals (not air conditioned). The taxi had a flat and all the men had to assess it before changing (our men included). Then they transferred some of the manuals to the van and some lighter luggage to the taxi. Fine - we're on our way. THEN we stopped to have the spare fixed so they weren't without a spare. Interesting "tire repair center" - they use every tire available to cut patches and fix broken tires. We finally arrived at Gbarnga School of Theology (GST) at 6pm - we were supposed to be here at 12 noon but "not to worry!"

Today we began the LTUTP and it is going very well. Except we discovered there are 3 dialects here who do not understand English so we're having a lot of "summaries" of talks. Please pray for Dean Yatta Young who suffered a back injury Sunday night and is in a tremendous amount of pain. Some women went to pray for her this morning and I know she would appreciate your covering her in prayer also. She was SO LOOKING forward to this event and feels like she is really missing out on what she planned on so long!

I guess that's it for the time I have to share now! Hopefully I can put more on another time with pictures. Of course, the things we need are in our luggage and it is supposed to arrive this evening here at the school so that's another prayer concern. The converters to plug things in; the longer life batteries for computers and cameras - not to mention CLOTHES and toiletries! It's good we love each other!!!
