Successful Meeting

Today started early for me. A few of us left the mission house because our internet had been down and it looked like it was a permanent thing, so we drove to a local coffee shop at 8 this morning to send out updates to our prayer teams. after spending a couple of hours at the coffee shop getting caught up on all of our internet "needs" (it's amazing / distrubing how dependent upon internet access we are!), we headed back to the house to take care of the rest of the items on the agenda. We started out with working on getting our internet access fixed, getting a printer/scanner/fax machine, and working on getting our visas. from there, Mike and I had the meeting that didn't end up happening yesterday. We met with Doctor Galela, who is the regional superintendent of this area. We talked with him for a while about the youth rallies and what they would need to look like and how he envisioned something like that going. his insight was helpful because it was clear that we were all on the same page and it was also helpful because he is an incredibly wise and godly man and his affirmation was something that put all of us at ease. Having him behind us in this endeavor will make a difference in getting us more connections and helping to pave the way to get things going smoothly. This meeting was encouraging to me and i walked away extremely grateful for the insights gained and the friendship deepened.
