from Paul and Dorian

Monday 29, 2010
Good morning, seems like I just went to bed and now--Doloris and I have already made a long and hot walk out past the wells—saw a nice rather large dead scorpion(10X the size of the one we had in our sinks at the men’s gathering in the mountains). The kids were singing in one of the homes really early—before the birds even woke up.

It goes without saying it is great to be back at the Village of Hope. Yesterday we had a wonderful time with the Fettah Church. Eric Bonner preached yesterday morning and I preached last night. We have been invited to speak each night out at the Fettah church.Old acquaintances were overjoyed to see us again. The young men were very appreciative and made sure to spend time reconnecting. The hospitality shown by the men and women was above par. Issac, the preacher at Fettah, continues to be a steady and capable leader, we are looking forward to working with him at the medical clinic. I was appreciative to have a friend walk me back to the Village of Hope following church services yesterday morning. We are certainly blessed.

To say it is hot is an understatement; if someone could dip their finger and give us a drop of water to cool our tongues (Luke 16:24). It is so hot, and the dribble of our water in the bathrooms has us, in the words of Lauri Denton,--“sweating bubbles” as a result.

Our continued efforts are paying off with a spirit of cooperation and mutual love here and in the hearts of many people in this area. Love to all,PaulDear KymKaleigh and I are well. Today is the first day of the eye clinic. Kaleigh worked veryhard yesterday preparing the clinic for today.

I got to see Dana’s brother Dauni for 20 minutes before he went back to school yesterday.
