Update from Randy and Lisa Young

Here is just a quick update from Randy and Lisa Young:

Dear friends,

Greetings from Africa where surprisingly it is pretty cool today. We always thought that our colleagues here were crazy when they said they got cold here when the weather drop down to the mid 70s during the rainy season. How can it be cold when it is that warm? Well today we were cool and Lisa made soup for lunch. I guess you do get used to warmer temperatures. The moral of the story is that we are glad we will be returning to Iowa next summer rather than in January… It will allow us to progressively get used to the winter!

• Malorie and Jonathan have finished school! They are both doing well and enjoying Africa. Jonathan is now taller than his older sister which he is proud of.
• Randy spent a week hosting a group of donors that came out to survey the hospital project to see if they should get involved. They spent some time at the current hospital to see how it functions before going up to Mango to see the land and talk with the team up there. They asked a lot of questions and left really interested in the project. We are waiting now to see how God will lead them.
