I'm not sure what "msugh" means, but I received an email from trace with that in the title. She is seeing God's hand at work through so many things in Nigeria. She is in her last week of VBS in Lupwe, and by day 2 they had already seen 800 children. God is so amazing!! Pray for continued energy as they work with the children. The weather is hot and I'm sure their patience has been tested. Pray that God gives them the endurance they need to finish the week strong.
Throughout the past several weeks, when the group is not working with the VBS, they are focusing their attention on the youth in the villages. Together they have learned that they share similar struggles as young people. Tracy and her group have been encouraging the youth the step up and be leaders in their community. They are beginning to learn that they can make a positive difference within their own community.
Next week sounds pretty busy for the group. They are going to be doing a lot of traveling such as visiting a seminary, an orphanage, and then making their way back to Abuja. Remember to pray for their safety as they do travel the next couple weeks.
Other prayer requests from Tracy:
- She asks for prayers as she continues to struggle with the language barrier. The young kids don't know any English yet, there are several different language dialects she is trying to understand, and the interpreter can't understand her English "accent." She has already picked up the basics in 4 different languages.
- Pray for continued health for her and her group.
- Pray for her family as they prepare to move out of their house and into Jenison.

Oops Tracy, Forgot to add our names to previous comment! Grandma
Tracy, Lindsey forwarded your email message to me. It was nice hearing an update directly from you. 1st of all, your new house is very nice! 2nd, I can't believe you are over half way through your leave. It seems once it gets 1/2 way, time goes faster. It sounds like you are have an awesome experience and we can't wait to hear about it. I'm sure everyone is going to want a piece of your time before you have to go back to school.
Keep your high-spirited energy going for God and the children. I know you are doing great things and making a hugh impact in their lives.
Love you!
