Moving forward!

Soooo!!!  We visited Ntarama’s orphan village today.  We saw our new friends from August and yes, we’re approved and welcomed into their community to film and photograph their lives starting tomorrow.  
Also, after much prayer and hoping, we received a document granting permission to film in the genocide memorials in Ntarama this week.  This is HUGE. 
Friends, please pray for us these next few days.  These will possibly be the toughest days of our journey… the most emotionally draining and physically challenging.  We’ll be staying in the orphan village where we attract a lot of attention simply by having light skin, and then we are visitors… and on top of that we are toting expensive cameras.  Please pray for our safety as we eat their food and sleep with them, and for our equipment.  Stealing our belongings will be a temptation to some. 
Thank you, all for praying for our team’s unity.  Even though half of our team is Costa Rican and the other from Pennsylvania, we have gelled beautifully.  We owe a lot of thanks to you all for those prayers, and God for lovingly answering them. 
Thank you, all, so much for your prayers and steady hearts through this!  God is good!
“Those who trust in the Lord are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.  As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people from this time for and forever.” ps. 125 1-2
