Well this week was both relaxing and stressful at the same time. I guess I will start with the stressful part. Thursday was the deadline for registration for the Joint Winter Conference. Things were looking quite good, alot of guys were showing some interest in getting there. I figured that Pete's warning that it is only polite to say yes to everything here was just foolishness. Many of the guys had said that they were gonna come and even had plans on how to get the money. When we got to rez thursday, however, things changed quickly. Everyone one seemed to have excuses. Even those that we had gotten through to the real reason they weren't going to go now had even more reasons. But despite the guys who aren't going there are a reliable few. There is a guy on the first floor named MJ that is gonna come and a guy from the 3rd floor named Andhela. So despite the numbers being few we are glad that God has been faithful to get these guys there. MJ and I have a pretty good relationship and I feel as if he is well connected with Sbu also. Learning what it is for a person to follow you out of pure trust is cool and has to be a complete work of God. This makes this week both a very useful week as well as a bit less stressful. Meet some new guys, share the gospel, and spend time with the guys that are going to JWC.
We also went to a camp to see some wildlife. I wish i could write more about it all but my time on the net is up. I'll post a pic real quick though

You guys look cold, and weird. But you always look weird. Or something, just kidding.
I am sorry guys aren't coming through for the conference, but I guess even getting a few to change years of cultural training is more than a small accomplishment. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time with these guys as it sounds like they are really forming good relationships with your crew and learning as mucha s God has given you to teach them. Talk to you sometime I hope buddy. Love you.
Miss you and are excited that you are having this experience. The pics are great. You'll carry these images in your mind and heart always. It seems the time is going fast for you but I know you are deeply touching those you meet.
We Love You Very much. Grandmomma and Papa
