I have my answer about how dependable the internet is: it isn't. Not having the luxury of depending on many of the simple things I am accustomed to living with has been a growing experience. Electricity frequently decides go away for a bit, and when it is available the voltage is constantly in flux. The water pressure takes arbitrary breaks every once in a while. Right now items such as salt, flour and gas aren’t even available in Fria. The list could go on.
I’m thankful I serve a God I can depend on. This quality is affirmed over and over again in Scripture:
“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.”
Deuteronomy 7:2
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail.They are new every morning;great is your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:23
I have been safely in Fria for over two weeks now. Time is already flying by. I have been greatly enjoying my time here. The first couple weeks Alexandria and I were settled in, shown our way around town, learned how to buy food and other things we’ll need at the market and learned to cook some delicious Guinean dishes. I have started teaching this week and will continue to do so until May!
I’ll do my best to share more about what it is like in Fria and how things are going soon…
