Letter To Home From Sarah 2

Hello again everyone!!!

I cannot believe we have now been in Africa for 5 days. We have experienced so much in these last few days.

Saturday we went out to the bush and spent the weekend. We had no showers or bathrooms, but the family we stayed with was so hospitable. Within just a few hours I felt like they were my family. Saturday afternoon was the church dedication. The new building was packed. Even a school of children came out to be there. The people out in the bush are so poor, but so incredibly kind and hospitable. Everywhere we go we are invited into their humble homes and invited to have tea with them. Everyone treats us like family. They are so attentive and kind. The baptist pastor in the church has a wonderful testimony. He has such an overwhelming task out there and has absolutely no resources other than what Miss Norma or we are able to do for him. His family is so precious. I wish that everyone in our church had had the oppurtunity that we had to sit in his living room and drink tea and listen to him talk about his life and what God has done for him. It is so exciting to see our brothers and sisters from other countries serving the same God we serve. Unfortunately, many times they are doing so much more than we are.

Once again, thank you for supporting us and what we are doing over here. Please continue praying for the church out in the bush and all of the ministries that we have been priviliged to be a part of on this trip.

Your servant in Christ,
Sarah Miller
