We made the hour journey to Kante' to visit the Lamba tribe. Wow...it is a different world between the Lamba people and the locals in Lome'. I thought the people from Lome' were improvrished....the Lamba people have absolutely nothing but the clothes on their back and their mud huts with a thatched roof. The people were very excited to see us and were waiting for us when we arrived.
I was most impressed by Nidjombe who is the pastor of a church in Kante'. He is a wonderful pastor who speaks beautiful French, wonderful English and other dialects that I can't even pronounce. He had an agenda typed for us when we arrived at his church informing us of all tasks we needed to accomplish our 4 days in Kante'. Please keep Nidjombe in your prayers as he is truly a man of God and doing wonderful things in this area with the Lamba tribe.
We are having fun even though it is very hot and really dusty up in the North. Again...no one is safe from verbal jabs. The other day on the 8 hour journey we were complaining that we couldn't sleep on the bumpy hot van ride....Dudley asked Jonathan to start preaching since each time he preached someone falls asleep! May have been the best jab so far.
I for one am very sad that I missed the freezing rain/snow as it is some of my favorite memories of home....especially around Christmas.
Thanks to you all for reading the blog and praying for us. I miss all my friends and really miss this week as the Bobcats prepare for #9! Please keep the paper articles and news clips that are being played about our beloved Bobcats. Good luck to the boys on Friday night. The guys in Africa are rooting for you.
Audra, Peyton, and Caden...I love you all and miss you terribly. 3 big Kisses!

It's so exciting to see some pictures! I love the Celina orange I keep seeing! What an enormous blessing to be able to help the villagers see. I imagine that you and Dudley are absolutely exhausted yet invigorated with the successes in the clinic and in the prayer tent. I pray the next three days continue to be a HUGE success. Love you, Audra
