Preparing for expedition!

Well, it's been officially approved - by Stephen and my contact overseas! Rachel and I will be going on an expedition this summer! We will be helping in the classroom at an Institute where they teach English as a second language - assisting students by having conversations in English, and then also we will fill in for the teachers so they can attend a meeting. We are very excited!

The place we will be visiting is a conservative Muslim society, so there are some cultural differences for which we must prepare. Although it will be hot (June 21 - July 6) we must wear long pants or skirts (ankles covered) and shirts that cover chest, elbows and bottom! No shorts, short sleeves or tight clothes! We are excited about being able to visit a place where not many people have heard the Truth, and we are asking the Father to prepare our hearts to be open for opportunities. We are also asking that He use us on this trip to encourage workers who are already there, and to open our eyes to the great need around the world for Truth. I know this will be a life-changing experience for both of us.

Fabric - for making long skirts - freshly washed, and now drying on the line on our back porch.
