Merry Christmas
Isaac and Brittany Oltersdorf
Brittany and I want to offer all of you a special opportunity to give this Christmas.
Paul and Margret and thier children Augusta and Isaac (named after Me!!) are pictured to the left.
Paul is blind, he and his family have become close friends of ours and we want to ask if anyone would be interested in helping to support this family for Christmas.
Our plan is to help Margret start a small buisness and from there help to provide for the needs of the children and also for Paul to continue his education.
If you want to help them please let us know!
Merry Christmas
Isaac and Brittany
I want to write to you all about what I have learned recently about compassion and its power. I know that some of you who read our blog posts dont necessarily believe in devine healing. I am going to talk about it but with an emphasis I think a little closer to what it should be. Recently one of our church members Baba gave me a letter. He gave me permission to share from it.
In the letter he thanked me and God for what was happening in His life. I was so blessed because every other 'letter' I have received here has been a request for money. His was not, in it he related to me that since the time he was a young boy 3-4 he has never walked on his own and has never felt like a man. Since the previous sunday when we prayed for Him he has begun to walk. His right knee which he had never been able to move began to move and the muscles in his feet also. He said 'pastor I can kick now and the other night I stood for a long time with no assistance'. I am changed through this testimony. I must confess that in the past divine healing has been something that really excited me but until this testimony, it was something that never touched my heart this deep, I never experienced the compassion of God. I saw in Baba the restoration of not just his legs but his dreams. He talks now, as his legs get progressivly stronger, about playing football on the beach with us. He now dresses to impress, and carries himself with an aura of confidence. He can now walk quickly without any crutches when before he needed two. He is happy. He knows that he is loved, by us, but more profoundly by his Creator.
There is another story I want to share with a similar heart. We have been housing 8 guys from off the street who are now attending Bible college. One of them, Ali, has the biggest heart of them all. He also has the biggest temper. Pastor Andrew and I realized that this temper was not getting better no matter what we did. We told him, after a morning fight, that we wanted to have a special meeting with him that night. We sat him down and Andrew began to pray and talk to Ali. He asked Ali what was going on inside of him. In the middle of Ali's explaination Andrew interrupted Him, with a kind of insight that only could have come from God, and a kind of heart that could only come from a father. Andrew spoke truth to Ali about the forgivness of God and the love we have for him of the truth that its not Ali's fault. His part in the war as a child soldier, the people he killed and thing things he did, were him being taken advantage of by wicked people. Ali just cried and recieved the love. I sat in awe. It felt like family. Ali felt it. I felt it, and Andrew definitly did as well. I wanted to cry all night as I thought about what happend. This guy who has never known a stable home, who is an outcast from his own family and village, was finnaly recieveing the love of the Father in heaven and a father on earth in Andrew. I felt the heart of God for these guys, the fatherless, the ostricised. God sees them. He feels for them so deeply. Im beginning to too.
Both of these stories together are trying to teach me something. I say this becaus the Bible says it. It calls testimonies 'our teachers'. I am learning that God values a kind of living that only He makes possible. Its a kind of living that has hope for the world around us beyond the help of the world around us or the abilities within us. It is the 'audacity of hope' that having faith in the one who died for our sins and by whose 'stripes we are healed' produces. I am challenged to believe again. I am challenged to turn my head towards and not away from the one in need. I am challenged to believe that when I choose to love that my weakness is met not only with Gods strength but also His compassion. A kind of compassion that I am learning melts my heart completely. I am learning that in a world that says I need to be more (stronger, wiser, richer, better planned) that I can be less. That I can be weak, that I dont have to be better than anyone else, or prove myself to myself or to the world around me. I want to learn instead that there is hope for the hopeless, and to be a part of delievering that same hope. There are better things going on. Baba's and Ali's that God wants to bless me to know and wants to touch with His love. I like that and I pray we will all learn more together.
Love you
Isaac
Hello all,
It has been just over a year since Brittany and I arrived in Sierra Leone. We have seen so much happen and I am writing to tell you thanks. In the midst of a country filled with poverty and oppressive conditions. I look at all of my friends and family, their support and encouragement and I am so grateful. It has been you that have inspired us, challenged us, supported us, prayed for us. It has been you most of all that have believed.
Since coming we have seen so much happen. I can only attribute it to the grace and favor of God. When we came we were met with an unfinished one story brick building with only our room and bathroom complete. Pastor Andrew and his family living in a 'pan body' house attached to the side. We had no running water but to walk 100 yards to a tap. We had no electricity except for a generator that we only used a couple nights a week. We slept on a thin mattress on the ground and lived on minimial finances. The one church, also attached to the house, was made of wood and tarpoline (still is :). For a few months we were the sole financial supporters of the ministry.
In one year...
> We took in 5 kids who lost thier mother and father.
> -we took one into our room :)
> 5 more churches have been planted in the surrounding communities
> -two tailored specifically to street boys and prostitutes
> A ministry from the US called No Boundaries International began to partner with us brining much needed financial support and added vision/manpower.
> -they spearheaded all the work with the streetboys and provided the Bible college
> We began two outreaches to groups of streetboys in different parts of Freetown with a time of feeding and a small church service (football too:)
> Another Pastor has recently decided to visit us with his son.
> -his heart is for streetboys and his son is a sound studio owner
> -those two things are the main focuses of Pastor Andrew and I. (I love how God brings people together)
> A man with a vision for agriculture has begun to take trips to set up a program here providing jobs and income and opportunities.
> Our discipleship team went from 2 to 10 with 20 more Bible college students.
> The house is now two full levels with an small third level for a music studio.
> -the first floor is completely finished, the second about half.
> We have power from the government about 30% of the time!
> We have running water about 40% of the time in the house!
> Brit and I have a nice canopy bed made by a church member!
> We have seen multiple incredible healings and changed lives.
> We live with 8 guys from off the street who are attending our Bible college and training in business, welding, and tailoring.
> A property was given to us in a village where we have a Secondary school 90% finished, farming, a church and missionary house planned.
> We just finished, successfully, the first semester of the Bible college.
> We feed about 30 people per day.
> Brittany and I taught and prepped the kids for school until July. teaching everything from the abc's to astronomy.
> The kids have started school and are doing well.
> We have pending agriculture projects and outreaches into the provinces following the Bible college.
> We have started 4 small Businesses via micro loans to church members.
> We have all night prayer 7 days a week (I know that sounds crazy to most people but its awesome) from 12am to 4am
> -4 teams take 2 nights a week each.
> All of the above has not been one persons vision or work, it has been a divine mixture of talent, coincidence, vision, and effort. That have come together in such beautiful way involving such beautiful people
> -and that's why I'm thanking all of you!
> We are so privileged to be here.
Thank you for the support
> God is so good> Love you all> Isaac
In Sierra Leone there is a huge number of men in thier late teens to thier late 20's that live in the street. Many of them were child soldiers, many others were displaced to freetown during the war never having fought themselves. Almost all have witnessed and taken part in unimaginable things. These guys are the marginalized , the outcasts (along with the disabled), in sierra leone. They are the cause of most of the trouble and conversly they are the future of the nation since they are a large portion of the men of a generation. We believe God has given us a call to minister to these guys His love and acceptance. After 6-9 months (depending on the area) of doing outreaches and prayer meetings with these guys we now have about 14 enrolled in Bible college and we are also starting tayloring and other trade training alongside it. We are housing 8 of them (a total joy). The Bible school has around 30 students total and we meet now three days a week. Its a DVD curriculum from the states that gives time for translation. We have seen these guys really catch hold of a greater vision for thier lives. They are excited and empowered. The word of God is the most empowering thing in the world. Read Ephesians 1:1-9 for an example. These guys are worth something to God, he loves them and can redeem thier lives of violence and drug addiction and their past of trauma and hardship. We are so excited for what God is doing so be praying for Ali, Ibriham, Bangali, Abriham, Jawad, Elton, Humphrey, Francis, Abu, Abu, Raymond, Fofonna, Junior, and Foday. I hope to be able to share with you all more about these guys It has been such a pleasure growing to love them and help them to be all that God created them to be. We are doing the impossible. I spoke with one ex government official who used to work with the youth. He said that they wont listen to anyone but maybe they will listen to God. They are and His love is doing the impossible.
In order (David, the team, Brit and Isaac's anniversary, Johnny preaching, Mr Manna, Samuel Isaac and Sylvester, the house.
Tonight the street boys gathered under their temporary housing. Its about a 30 by 5 yard strip with a ten foot wall on one side and a 7 foot side that is open except for beams and a small wall. Each Wed evening we all get together and have a small church service and then provide food. 40-50 came this Wed and we gathered around sang praise and worship and then sat. I began to preach on a scripture that says that God looks throughout the earth to see if any are seeking him. The Bible says in Hebrews that we must believe that God is and seek Him and he will reward us. We all sat seeking God. All of the sudden the police came in three large trucks, there were maybe 50 of them. Some had guns, riot gear, gas masks. These guys were ready for action. Since this is the street boys’ area they come frequently and make wholesale arrests. They came and tore down a 'bar' about 200 yards away and some passed by us. The streetboys didn’t know what to do they wanted to run but knew if they did they would be arrested. I thought "this is either really good that we are all here together or really bad". The police just passed guns gasmasks and everything. You could see them pointing and talking about us from a distance. Since they knew we were a 'church' service though they didn’t say anything except one police officers comment of 'hallelujah' as she passed. Other people were arrested and taken away. Temporary structures for businesses were broken. We prayed. I told them about Psalm 91 that even if 10000 pass on my right the Lord will save me. I told them to trust Him, to begin to seek Him. He is waiting like the father of the prodigal son for his children to return to Him. If he sees one seeking Him he runs to them! We prayed and all the guys asked God to change their lives to come and help them and to provide for them. Afterwards as we all ate they rejoiced. The police left, none of them were arrested, we asked them and they said that if we had not been doing church when they came they would have arrested everyone. Instead they came and sought God and he rewarded them, His sons. I felt like an intercessor. The Bible says that Jesus was the great intercessor. An intercessor is someone who stands and speaks for someone, usually asking for mercy or help, but giving themselves for the life of another. Jesus gave his life for all of mankind and we are called to do the same. I was so glad that we have been led to love these guys. Since we are 'interceding' for them, they are finding acceptance, honor, love, hope, dignity, and protection. They know that there is a God who loves them, laid down His life for them, and He is turning their hearts toward Him little by little. They all exclaimed with laughter and childlike awe and excitement that God had saved them! We started singing "It is a great day to serve the Lord, It is a great day to serve the Lord, Walking in the light of God," They all joined and we danced with gratitude and love.
Brittany and I have been married for one year on the 7th!!!!
We are so grateful for all God has done.
We love all of you and thank you for all your support!!!!
I Jesus name

Street boys here are kind of like migrant workers in the States. They often broke the law to get where they are (totally different comparing delinquency to illegal immigration I know but bear with me) They are looked on as less than people by the majority of the population, as 'undesireables'. They serve in the country as cheap labor (washing cars to carrying boards on thier heads.) They live in temporary housing and are often hasseled by authorities. Here they are put temporarily in jails, prisions over and over again for petty offences. If a serious crime has happened in the area. The police will often arrest as many as they can as a response. Some are there by choice but many are orphans or just stuck without any way to get out of the cycle they are in. Some of the biggest problems they face are drug addiction, prostitution, homelessness, and sickness. Saturday night one of them stole a lady's purse and so the police came and tore down four of thier buisnesses (small shops) and many of thier shelters. Sierra Leone doesnt know what to do with them. They are the cause of many of the problems. But the current response of the government isnt helping too much and in a lot of cases is making the situation worse. We some of them and hold a small church service once a week, but that is nothing. I know from my experience that in the case of addiction spiritual help is the most effective. We want to focus on that but if we dont help meet thier physical needs we are missing the boat. Our plan now is to start a 'rescue house' where 5-6 of the guys will come who are serious about wanting to leave the streets. We will provide them with basics as well as a curfew and pretty strict expectations. Brittany has had a lot of imput about this as she is a Social worker and did her internship at a homeless shelter. We are working closely with a Sierra Leonean name Sylvester who is fresh out of college as a social worker. He works with these guys tirelessly. They call him the 'father of the street boys'. He will be the one living with them and doing most of the programming. We will offer them counseling, opportunities to learn a trade, and a Bible school because we beleive that some are 'called' as pastors.
Please help, We visited 60 of them in the jails yesterday. Brought them food and water. The other ones we visited dont have any place to stay. We cant help all of them now. The fact is that this really is a crisis right now in Sierra Leone. It is one though that God has a plan for. He will raise these guys up as the farmers, pastors, and leaders in Sierra Leone. We want to start the house within next month. Pray, give, see with His eyes. These guys are children of God, he sees thier fear and sadness as they go to bed. I really feel, however,that this crisis is actually a huge opportunity for God to do some great things here. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Rom 8:28
*REPEAT OF EMAIL* Friday night we saw the promise of Jesus to heal the sick and raise the dead with our own eyes. Samuel who when I first met him said, to my face, that he hated white people and was adimently opposed to the church we started in his 'house' (he stays in the unfinished building that we meet in). Since then we have seen the Lord reconcile him and his brother, him and I, and him and the Lord. I came to the place where we hold service (his house) Friday night to find him sick with malaria. He had been sick since Sunday he had taken tons of medication and nothing was helping. He told Mr Manna that morning that he thought he was going to die. (I learned afterwards) When I got there I didnt realize how serious the situation was. I prayed for him for a few minutes and he decided that he would get up and come and lie down on a mat during the prayer meeting. We prayed and at the end I decided to pray for everyone. As I went around the room I got to where he was lying down. Manna was sitting next to him and called me. I looked down and Samuel was fighting and kicking in agony. I knelt on the ground and began to pray with manna for him. We prayed for about 20 minutes. At times his pulse and breathing were so low that I was really afraid. Its not like America here there are no quick/emergency response systems in place,no 911 to dial. He began to breath normally again though and so I got up and closed the prayer meeting. After talking with some of the people there I turned back to where he was lying to check on him. Manna was talking with him and so I asked what happened. Manna turned back to ask him and I heard 'Samuel...Samuel...SAMUEL...SAMUEL!!!...PASTOR COME HERE!' I thought he had died as he was totally unresponsive, foam at the mouth, no breath, eyes rolled back. He felt cold. I thought 'should I do CPR?' I dont really know it though, I was afraid. I realized that I believe in prayer more than CPR and I began to pray. A boldness inside me rose up. The Lord had spoken to me previously that he wants to use Samuel in a big way. How could that happen if he died? I KNEW it was not the Lords will for him to die. So I prayed. I prayed loud and with fervency. Samuel began to move a little, but still he didnt seem to be breathing (I think he must have been, just shallow breaths) In my spirit I heard the Lord say, 'Tell him not to be afraid, tell him I have saved his life today.' As I said 'Samuel Jesus has saved your life today' He let out one big cough and began to breath loudly. I prayed against the spirit of death and then the Lord started speaking to me about Samuel. 'Your going to be a prophet to the nations...' the electricity (fire) in the room was really intense. Brittany said that it filled the whole room. Then from out of my spirit came the words. 'Samuel get up, In the name of Jesus, get up!' The very moment I spoke he rose and the power of God just enveloped us. As he stood up I gave him a hug. He asked immediatly for water. He gave his life to the Lord and laid down to sleep. The next day I saw him. The light in his eyes was amazing. He said 'God did a wonderful thing last night' I looked at him amazed myself as he stood before me in full health. 'Yea He did Samuel, and He is going to use you in a big way.'I can still feel the chills when I tell the story. I dont know if Samuel had actually died when the Lord healed him, but I know that we serve a God who conquered death on the Cross, we just saw it happen before my eyes!
Hello everyone, sorry it has been a while since the last post. Brittany and I are doing well, little Emmanuel is really thriving and we love him so much. We are teaching the kids and, as of today, one adult. Tomorrow I am going to share my testimony with 30 or 40 guys at a place called 'the city of rest' it is in downtown Freetown and it is a place for drug addicts and people with serious mental problems. It is a really amazing ministry and was started by one of the oldest living pastors in Sierra Leone, he still runs up the stairs though! I am going to share my story as the Lord helped me out of drug addiction.
I wanted to share a bit of our hearts, share a bit about what God is doing. Being here is difficult as you all can imagine. It is difficult for obvious reasons, mainly its not the United States! :) So we have really had to reexamine our reasons for being here. Heidi Baker, the director of Iris ministries, talks a lot about this subject. She flat out tells mission school students 'If your not in love, don't come! (to missions)'
She says this because the only motivation that sustains, the only motivation that leads to real change is love. Love first for Jesus, and then for those who He loves. (two things that become almost interchangable)
Its really easy to hope in other things though. We all know this especially as Americans. A million things are vying for our attention, and our affections. Pride, money, success, fear, entertainment, sports, etc... But what is it that really keeps us going? What wakes us up in the morning and gives us hope.
The options here are limited, food... going to the restaurant a couple times a week...taking the kids to the beach now and then... ugghhhh. You sort of run out after a little while. But love works, it doesn't just work. Love makes us thrive, and not just any love but the very love of God flowing through you.
We are learning it, little by little, interaction by interaction, situation by situation. Learning to 'Love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and strength...and love our neighbor as our self'
I'm so used to having love just be PART of what keeps me going. Its a whole different thing to have it be ALL. It really means giving of ourselves. Thats what Christs death and ressurection shows us. (To love costs something, or its not really love)
Loving here doesnt come naturally. There is soo much to learn about the culture and everthing has to been done in that context. For example, they play checkers here totally different and at first I just thought the guy I was playing with was stupid and didnt know the rules. Even after I learned that he was playing the way everyone plays here, I wanted to correct him. I stopped myself, realizing my pride, and played the way they do. Its kind of like that dealing with the culture as a whole. We are learning that we need to drop our ideas of how thing are done, the way interactions happen and what they mean etc.. and humble ourselves. We need to be vulnurable and let those around us instruct us. Instead of the natural thing to do which is to stay aloof. In the end when we bond this way, it looks like love.
We are doing so many things here (I haven't shared much of it). But this is what is really the important thing. I Cor 13 " If I sell all I have and give it to the poor...if I give my body to be burned... but I have not love, it is nothing" Getting stuff done isnt the point. Love is, and we are learning.
So like Paul said, "not that I have achieved it yet... but I press on toward the goal to obtain the prize of the upward call of Christ Jesus"
We love you!
Isaac
One day Brittany and I were talking and we realized that God was putting the same thing on both of our hearts. Emmanuel, the 8-9 month old of the group of five orphans that have been living with us since November had been weighing on both of our hearts/minds. Brittany started talking about it with me. We realized that for the most part his brothers and sister were taking care of him. They fed him, changed him, slept with him. Often during the day Emmanuel would just sit quietly not demanding any attention and would go almost unnoticed. Andrew and Angella are busy with David, one of the the most active 8month olds I have ever seen, and so it made sense to Brittany and I that we should take Emmanuel into our room. It was a little over our heads at first. I have never even changed a diaper, and Brittany didnt know much either. Over the last week though we have fallen in love with this little guy. (Sometimes we want to wake him up just to play with him) He is really coming alive too. Now he laughs and jerks his body around and smacks his lips like an old man. Last night when we put him to bed (a little mat next to our blowup mattress) He just 'preached' for about a half an hour, saying bah, bah, bah. Its really amazing to get to love him during these early years when he may never remember. But they are years that probably will have a big impact on him in the future. Brittany and I are so blessed to have 'God with us' (the meaning of Emmanuel) Thank you for your prayers and support.
I went today with a man named Manna down to his compound. We had gone there last week and suprisingly a church service started with all the men and youth who were there smoking pot, about 30 of them. This week I learned just how much the Lord was involved in our visit. After we left the police came to arrest all the pot smokers. They would each go to prison until they paid about 500 dollars a peice. (almost a years wages for a lot of people) Just as the police were rounding them up though the area governer came by and told the police to let them go. He said that they were 'his guys' as I guess he lives just next door. My jaw dropped as I listened to this story and realized the picture the Lord had painted for them of His grace and forgiveness in the face of the unpayable debt of our sin. The Lord says to us 'these are my guys, I paid for them with my blood', our debt is forgiven and we are free. Today all that were there recieved the Lord and wanted prayer for change. I learned of other testimonies of salvation too (Biblically the word salvation is synonymous with healing) One man who we prayed for had a foot that was so swollen he couldnt walk. Just after we had our 'little service' last week someone confessed having put a curse on him and subsequently paid for thier hospital bills (the light shone in the darkness) Another man who wanted prayer for his father, who had been put in prison, to be let out found out that night that he was indeed released. His brother who was angry with him forgave him and 3 days later he got a job. He was also having pain in his heart and it is now gone. God answered every prayer! Another man who was a football player was having sharp pain in his leg. This week the pain is gone. There were a bunch of sick children last week, now all of them are well. I still felt so much of the presence of the enemy in that place but it is obvious that the Lord is moving in so many ways. Its amazing how he used one friendship with this man Manna to change so many lives. Hiedi Baker, Iris ministries co-director, has a motto about stopping for the one. When we do, God does powerful things. Then as I took Manna back to where he begs (he has no legs below his knees) A guy called me from accross the street. He is one of the youth in our area who doesnt work and just sits in this spot with about 40-50 others and do nothing all day. He used to bug me to come to america. Today God used him to open the door for me to talk to all of them. I have had these guys on my heart and its like He just opened the door. I think we will start a new church down there and I pray that these guys (the pot smokers, and youth) are the congregation. God is wanting to do something great. Matt 5 says blessed are the poor in spirit. These are the poor in spirit and God is going to poor out His love and blessings on them. Manna said that he has so many more places he wants to take me, another friend wants to take me to the drug center of the city too, doors, doors, doors. When God opens them we will walk, He is our guard, our hope, our reason. He is our love.
We love you guys

Yesterday as we left church we stopped by a members house. His name is Mr. Mohommed or Russel, whichever you prefer. We learned that two nights before he had been beaten mercilessly by neighborhood boys for no reason. (this is a pretty strange thing to happen here Pastor Andrew told us). Russell and his family have been having a hard time recently as he has been out of a job. (actually we saw him early friday night, before he was beaten, and he was distressed because all he could do was catch fish and he didnt have any oil to fry them in) So we sat with him, his head was all bruised and his left forearm swollen from a break, he could not move it without the help of his other arm. We told him that we wanted to pray with him and give him a little money to help out. As I prayed for his arm we both heard and felt a 'crack' and afterward he was able to move it freely to the astonishment of himself, his wife and everyone sitting there. I felt so greatful for the compassion and love of Jesus to do such a thing. God is always wanting to pour out his mercy and love. Are we willing to recieve the blessing, to seek him for it? Jacob in the bible wrestled with God and would not let go until he recieved a blessing. He did and he also recieved a broken hip. As Brittany and I have been seeking the Lord for more of him we have come face to face with the same reality as Jacob. If we are seeking the blessing of God He will take our reliance on our own strength from us. God is too good to let us succeed on our own strength. We need Him and He is kind enough to allow us to come to a place where we know that our own strength is not enough (and in fact often is in the way). We can then enter into a place of relationship in trusting and relying upon His. His mercy, his love, his provision. How can a cup be filled if it is not emptied first?
Let us all empty ourselves in humilty and honesty before Him and, as the Bible says, "if we humble ourselves He will lift us up".
Thank you all, we love you

We arrived back in Sierra Leone after a reativly smooth trip. We had to take the helicopter into freetown which Brit found a bit unnerving. It has been really busy since then. Brittany and I are teaching the kids during the day. She teaches the two older ones in the morning and I teach the younger ones in the afternoon. We do PE and sing songs and pray first thing together. The Holy Spirit has been falling on the kids as we have prayed the last couple of days. Both of the older boys have had visions of Jesus showing them where their mother lives in heaven. I love the way the Lord is. He provides for them the things that we never could. The older one also had a vision of all of us swimming in the cleanest coolest water and having fun. This is a real picture of the Holy Spirit coming in power and we are excited about that. Yesterday I went with my friend Manna and Jerry to Manna's old village. We visited a friend of his who's left leg and arm have died. The man actually took care of Manna (who lost both of his legs below the knees) while he was recovering. Manna now walks with a cane and prostetic legs. We prayed and I gave the family a little money. Pray that the condition of this man reverses. Next Manna took us to a hospital where there were leprosy and teberculosis patients. He stayed there for a while so he knows everyone. We walked around and prayed for the patients. There are so many though that we are going to go back next week. We need provision to be able to bless them with some juice or bread as all they eat is something that is like rice but not as nutritious. (I dont remember the name) Anyway it is a real great opportunity to minister to those most in need and I am so greatful to God for it! We are pastoring one church and we love the people, tonight we will visit the community that the church is in and go see everyone and pray for them if they have any needs. Last night at our Bible study we didnt get around to studying the bible because the Holy Spirit really started touching people, filling them with hope and a desire for Him.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. I need to go now as I am at the iternet cafe.
We love you
Isaac and Brit
