A lot has happened while the internet has been down...God is peeling the layers of nastiness blinding us to what He is doing here: brilliant smiles burn through confusion...people who drop what they're doing and snag our daughters no matter what time of the day or night just to hug on and love them lavishly...with the prostitutes who cling to Ellie like she's their own...in the darkenss, injustice, and oppression of the dance floors...seeing malnourished children have a meal...the doctor calling us for our daughter, struggling with fever (she's now much better)...love threatening to make us all truly human...God's sons and daughters...again. God has connected us with Pastor Toto (the boy on the couch is his son, Joshua) who's working on micro-businesses for the poor and actively breaking down social norms to display God's love better. Pretty cool stuff...we land with little and are learning a lot from God's vision here. The language is definitely a barrier. Pray the faces and names will continue to burn into our hearts. May God's Kingdom continue to be made real here!
