happy july

It's July. We are still at Canaan Farms enjoying our days here.
Each day is so different as things happen much slower here. The intern house that is being built is almost in completion & we're anticipating moving in within this next week!
Living in a mud hut has it's challenges but overall it's a great experience to live out of your comfort zone. Just remember to always where your shoes because the mud floor has many hidden dwellers... :)

One thing we look forward to is cold soda/pop whatever you want to call that sugary drink but it's oooh so good when you haven't had a cold drink in weeks. Last night we went into the village and found ourselves a cold Coke for Alicia and a fruity pop for Vern. (I forgot the brand)

I (Alicia) have been reading through the book of Isaiah and it's been super powerful & awesome. Read it.
Vern has been leading a bible study with the farm boys on MWF and it's been a great challenge for him. He's been focusing on establishing a bibical marriage as many of the men are newly married. Pray for him as he ventures into sharing the Word with these men & that culturally differences would not interfere.

We love all of you who read this! And I guess those who don't.

love until it hurts today & then love some more.

Vern & Alicia
