from Stephanie!

Our team has now been here a little over a week now and we are enjoying ourselves thoroughly.  Paul and Mariah have been spending time with some teens who are hosting a meeting tonight for HIV/Aids awareness that we are going to.  Aimee has been visiting HIV/Aids patients in their homes with Petunia.  I went with them one day and then spent another day giving piano lessons to some of the neighborhood kids, which was a great time.  Luc, Andrew, and Kevin have been spending some quality time building relationships with families in different blocks (neighborhoods).
This week has been full of meeting great people, eating great food (some team members not including myself were brave enough to try "spahtlo" which is like an African hamburger), spending time with our host families, getting to know our team more and more, and really enjoying ourselves.  It is beautiful here and the people are very gracious and welcoming.  We could use prayer for continued acclamation to the area and different culture as well as building relationships with people in different blocks as well as with our team.
