Hello all, Yes, it has been a long time since our last update, Sorry. Anyway, just a quick update YFC has land, I think I told you that. We are now in the process of finding a contractor to build the new building, the old one is now demolished and cleared out. We have one contractor that will do the job at a good price, we'll probably go with him. Anyway, Lisa Hayden and Austin, some friends of our from home are here for the month of July. It's wonderful to have a taste of home here in The Gambia. We truly appreciate everything they are doing. They are encouraging the staff as well as encouraging us to keep pushing on. We are planning a trip up country with them this next week and are praying that God will use that time for some awesome evangelism. Pray for us. Lisa and I have been reading to Mary from the Book of Luke, recap, Mary came to us very sick and alone and pregnant, she is now hearing God's word everyday and asking great questions. Please keep her in your prayers. We have recently had a huge boom in our YFC staff population, I will begin discipling at least one of the girls, I can't wait to get started. Tom and I continue to pray for God'sdirection here in the Gambia and are still looking into moving up country. We thak you for all your prayers, love and miss you all
Andrea and Tom
