I (Scott) caught a bad cold on Monday and struggled with it all week. The temperatures continued to be 100 + this week. By God's grace we persevered and had a good week. Lornel help pick up some of the slack left by my illness. What a joy to serve with such a wonderful wife!My highlight from this week came on Friday afternoon. We had part of the Fulani team over to our house and I taught them how to use the dictionary software. It was a joy to see their excitement about using this tool. I gave them the alpha version of the dictionary.
A second way that God showed his grace was Thursday while traveling to Torodi. Our driver was passing a large truck with another car coming head on the driver panicked and we nearly had a head on collision. Thank you all for your prayers this week. God has been very good to us.
A third way that God demonstrated his grace was in our camel riding experience. Lornel had heard true stories from missionaries about camels killing people by biting, stomping, and then listening to see if the person is still breathing. She became a little afraid, before remembering, that God is God over all of his creation. We went and rode camels. It was our recreational highlight of our time here in Niger.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for safety as we travel to Maradi Tuesday and return Saturday (we will be participation in a orientation and observation of SIM's ministries further into the heart of Niger)
- Pray for us as we say good buy to friends we have made (this is our last week in Niger)
- God's protection
- God's Grace in trials
