So, turns out the 5-10 Hotel (we refer to it as Hilton Freetown) was booked up with some conference, so we were thinking we'd have to go back the International (which we refer to as scary, strange, gross, should be condemned by the health department motel) where we always stay the first night upon arriving in Freetown (after that ANYTHING looks amazing).
But, our amazing friends from Living Water International, Ruth and Robert, referred us to a hotel on the airport side (Lungi) called Harmony Hotel...AMAZING! If the 5-10 is Hilton Freetown, then the Harmony is like, um, *walks away to ask others what is better than a Hilton*, The Ritz or something...oh, or The Plaza...thank you team for descriptive words!
Haha, forgive me right now! I don't know what the heck I'm saying! I am THAT tired! Anyways, Ruth lent me her wireless chip and that is why I am here now! Now, I will continue on with the update!
Darn, internet's not loading anymore, so who knows if this will save or not?!?! Well, I mean if you are reading it right now, then it's saving, but if you are not...then it definitely did NOT save....I really need to go to bed! I'm delirious!
Anyways, quite a bit has happened since the last update...um, we've showed the Jesus Video to two villages, we visited Ramatu, my dad broke his leg...
So, we took the Jesus Video to our own village of Makambo...to stop it my dad broke his leg and it started pouring and the video inexplicably was skipping...we still showed it! And the Muslim chief of Makambo came forward!!!!!
Last night we took the video to Rogbum...to stop it the door to Peter and my dads' rooms was stuck and locked. The key wouldn't work! Pounding through wouldn't work! All the windows are barred! And we only had a circular saw...not a zawsaw so we couldn't cut through them! We somehow got a chisel and worked for an hour breaking through that door! THERE was NO reason for it to be stuck!
We were supposed to be at the video at 6:30 and ended up arriving at around 8:30, but amazingly enough we had the MOST people ever come to the video! So many that when we had an alter call we couldn't call them forward because they would have trampled the equipment and each other!
Also, Ramatu was there watching the video!
Ramatu was the woman with the fungus growing on her face for five years. Her face was completely swollen! Now, after only two months of the nine months of treatment she looks so great! The fungus is being killed and the swelling has gone down so much!
I know there is much more to tell! But, I really need to get to bed now (well, I'm fine but all my roommates are sleeping and my dad REALLY wants to go to bed too)...I could handle several hours more...I'll just go into my super-cool giddy stage!!
Continue to pray!
I'll update in London!

I love your posts!! You make me smile and I cannot wait to here all about the trip in person!!! I'm praying you all have a safe and uneventful trip home.
Hey Megan! I'll have to tell Saidu and Caroline that the HH is like the Ritz!! They'll be so blessed. We really loved our time with you guys and are really thankful the way God worked out Thursday night for us to be able to be together and then again all day Friday! I told your dad, next time, the team needs to work in a day at the beach! :-) Then on to the Harmony!
