Thank you
For those of you praying for our chapel messages, thank you. I spoke yesterday and Charlie spoke today, and for both of us, it was comforting and relieving to rest on your prayers. Charlie did a great job today, preaching on the need for and practice of continual transformation in the Christian life. Today in class, I had a student tell me that she very much liked my sermon, but that one thing I did was improper. "During your sermon, you said, 'I'm sorry; I must find my place,' as you flipped through your notes. Sir, I do not think that is proper." As is usual, this was met with a chorus of different responses--some outbursts of disagreement, some laughter. A student in front of me jumped to my defense: "It is because he knows he is not God speaking! He knows he is only human!" I found it all humorous.
We couldn't do this without you--thank you for praying!

Glad to hear that all went well - I had great confidence in both of you. I was praying for you! Thanks for the update - I was wondering how it all went. Keep the news coming - we all love it!
Praise the Lord!
Wes-
Funny story of the afternoon -
We were at Starbuck's this afternoon and a car with an Arkansas license plate came in. We looked at Anders and said "Do you think they know Wesley?" He sort of looked at us like we were crazy and said "Uh, NO!"
Liz,
Thanks for the great story. (BTW, were you drinking an Americano? :) I realized the other day that we never answered your question about coffee. Fortunately, the stuff we can get here in Ndu isn't too bad... Charlie brought a french press and a grinder, so we buy beans from someone in the village and grind them here at our house. It's not quite Starbucks, but Philemon's bringing us some of that next week!!)
So, tell Anders... well, maybe I'll just talk to him myself.
Hey Anders!
You're probably right---Arkansas is not THAT small of a state; those people probably didn't know me.
I miss playing "airplane" with you on Sunday afternoons. Have you taught Ryan how to do it? Your mom sent us some great pictures of you this week. I can't believe how fast you're growing up! (And your mom also sent us some good news about you this week. Congratulations, big boy!)
I need to go now. I'm glad you posted something on the blog!
Bye!
Wesley
Of COURSE I was drinking an Americano - the only other option right now is the Pumpking Spice latte' - delicious!!
I'm hoping to send some treats with Philemon as well - saw him last night at Target. Talk about random! Mari helped him look for some "treasures" for Anna. We have our first team meeting tonight - make sure you ask him if I sent anything for all of you.

Y'all are tempting me with all of this talk about Starbucks. I think I'll go out right now and try an Americano, and then ask for a free gift certificate for you for the free advertising!
Sorry Wesley, I promise I'd treat you to one if you were here! :)
