Wowww it's been forever since I've posted! I basically haven't had a phone since I got to Pemba and had very minimal wifi so sorry for the lack of updates! So here is the quick 5 week update! Arrival in Pemba was crazy! My big suitcase didn't arrive right away but I was very prepared for that so it wasn't too bad! Classes have been amazing! Learning the culture has been fun too! It can get crazy here sometimes, but God has really been working in my life and doing a lot of inner healing! We do outreach to the village every other Monday as a class and we've prayed for all sorts of illnesses and needs and really seen God work. He has been doing a lot of work in the people of another faith in the village and last weekend one of the main priests came to our church instead of leading his and he and his family are now Christians! It's been really amazing to see God work! This past weekend I went on outreach to the bush with my color team! It was life changing! We got to baptize many of the villagers in a nearby river (followed by a swim) and the medical team saw blind eyes opened the the lame walk! We showed the Jesus film and got to pray for so many people as well as meet and bless the chiefs. I LOVE my color team! We have become like a mini family and it's the greatest :) right now I am very sick with a cold, so I appreciate as many prayers as possible! If you are curious about anything or have any questions about what I've been doing, shoot me an email at Lauren.sivley@yahoo.com! Hopefully I'll be able to post more often now that I have a phone! :)
