Hello everyone! Things are wrapping up here. I got the mural finished, it turned out better than I could have ever expected. Here is a picture of me and the finished product. The Fulani that come to the school sit and stare at it. It is amazing to me how much they appreciate it. God is doing an amazing work in their lives; one day there will be a great harvest of them coming to know the Lord. It is exciting to be right in the middle of all that is going on here. Paul, Eddie and Jamison have been working really hard to get all of their projects finished before we leave. They got the bathhouse finished, it is looking really nice. Here is a picture of it. All of the huts are finished, all that is left is making a covered meeting place in the middle of the dormitory area and children will be able to move in. It should be ready at the beginning of the next term. We are really enjoying our last week here. Our church is going to have a big good-bye celebration for us on Sunday. They are bringing in a drummer and a keyboard player for music, so there will be dancing. It is going to be a Thanksgiving service. Each family will bring an offering to God to thank him for the year. They will be called up family by family to present their offering. It is going to be very exciting to participate in this service. We have been so blessed with this little church that we are a part of. God is going to do amazing things in this little village. It is going to be difficult to not be here, but we are ready to go back and see our families. We will be back in San Andreas on Friday, December 5th. My father had his surgery last week to remove his cancer, and the surgeon said that it went perfectly! We are very glad that he is doing well. Thank you for praying for us, we appreciate it so much.
