I'm In Africa!

I arrived in Freetown about 10:30pm last night. My first day has been full of so much excitement. This morning I rode with Mr. Pieh to CHASL, and I met everyone who I will be working with. Then we had a short devotion. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to sing and pray with people working for the glory of God! Then, we visited the Kissy Hospital/medical clinic. I got the opportunity to meet with the nutrition specialists there and ask them questions dealing with the malnutrition they see with the children enrolled in the clinic. I have already learned so much! This country is beautiful and so are the people. Thank you for your continual prayers! Oh by the way...For those of you who don't know, I have a pet bearded dragon named Parkson. There are millions of Parksons running around!! Well really they are king lizards, but they look just like him!
