The Internet....and my battle with it!

Hey Everyone!
My plan was to just upload a bunch of pictures for ya'll today - so you can see what life here is like. I am currently attempting for the third time to upload some pictures. The internet seems to be extra slow and it randomly cuts out - which loses the uploading of the pictures, so I have to start all over again. So...I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to get some pics up on here today or not.

I also made a nice newsletter to email to all my friends and supporters - but it is too big to attach to an email! I'm trying to send it with yousendit.com - but apparently it is going to take 3 hours to upload! Yup - it's taken about 20 minutes so far and it is only at 10%! Argh! Nothing is working out today!!! Well I guess this gives you a taste of what using the internet is like here in Benin!

Things have been going well - we have been really busy this past week meeting with people who we see leadership potential in and spending time getting to know them better. We also participated in an Evangelism Event which our Church put on. [See Carleigh's and Jamie's Blogs for more info on this!]

If you don't get the newsletter this week, hopefully it will be next week - if I figure out how to make it smaller without taking content out. The updates from this past week, will just come a week late! Also, maybe I'll be able to upload some pictures next week as well. Thanks for your patience!

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers - I am so blessed to have such a wonderful support team :)
