Tabaski Fun





Tabaski is on Wednesday which means that there are sheep everywhere! You see them in the back of taxis, on top of buses, walking down the street, and being carried. Tabaski is a holiday where the Muslims celebrate God providing a sheep in place of sacrificing Ishmael (Bible says it is Isaac, but they believe it was Ishmael). On Wednesday these sheep will be "sacrificed" in remembrance of what God provided. It is a day full of festive outfits and celebration. School is closed for us so that our Muslim workers can be with their families. Pray for our national workers that one day they will know the truth!

Other tidbits:

Luke and Faith won the movie contest! They were very excited and awarded a fun trophy!

Here is a picture of us with our dorm guys on our latest outing to the beach:




Also, pray for my Dad who is having bladder surgery to remove 2 cancerous tumors on the 23rd of November. Pray that they will be able to save his bladder and that there will be no other signs of cancer! We continue to be thankful for your ministry and support of our family!

P.S> I spoke to your dad. He is in great spirits and very positive about his procedure. I'm sure he will be fine.

Love, Mom.
