Hi friends,
Mike here writing in Nth Africa. Settling in well, eating, sleeping
and getting around - which means I have shelter, I can ask for and buy
food and I can kind of make myself understood for where I want the
taxi driver to take me!
Last week, I found myself being randomly invited for a meal at a local
family's home - was good and felt very welcomed. Hope to continue
contact with them. Also making good relationships with traders
especially the fishmonger. He speaks some good English and so can
teach me his native language too! Shared a story with him about a
friend of ours called Peter who couldn't catch a single fish all night.
This coming weekend I'll be living in a local family's home so good
chance to learn lots language and about culture. Please hope it'll be
a great and fruitful experience and some positive relationships will
be started.
Following weekend is a time for all my company here to gather together
to share news, fellowship and have fun. Woohoo! Hope that'll be
significant too.
Much love
Michael
Thanks for the missive - I hope all that you do will be massive in kingdom terms. So good to hear that you seem to be settling down well. Hope you don't miss me too much (I mean't us really!!).
It is so good that you are meeting others and sharing the Stories in such a natural way - keep doing that as they have power.
