Double Perfection 7/7

The Lord is so good, today is 7/7, double perfection. Today is also Mary and Peter's 2nd anniversary. Georgia and Leslie made breakfast in bed for them this morning, decorated with balloons and candles. It was a very special treat to wake up to. Mary and Peter are Blessings to many people here in Africa. They have a heart of giving, a strength from the Lord, and much love in their hearts for others. We've known Mary for around 6 years, and I'm so glad to know Peter now.

Africa is a land of hardship and beauty. Islam is the ruling religion in this area, calls to prayer are announced all over, it's unnerving for me to hear it. I would say that lawlessnesss abounds outside our protected walls here, but there are also many people of God. It's almost an instant thing to recognize it in a person's face. The roads are very hazardous. It takes alot of ability to drive here, alot of practice with no speed limits, winding in and out of people walking in the streets, cars stopped, trucks barreling through. Driving at night is perilous. Peter has a special ability to do it, possibly because of growing up here with missionary parents. We will be on a bus tomorrow to Zanzabar. This is another special blessing for our team. We will tour Stone Town, they are known for their spices, and I will learn more about David Livingstone. Peter and Mary will meet us Thursday and we will return Sunday.

I am going to try to learn more about posting pictures on this. There are so many from the safari.
