Job not quite done

This post should have gone out yesterday, but this morning when I got up to check the flight status I checked http://365.themolsees.com/ one more time to see if there were any new pictures (thanks again Ethan & Melissa for sharing your these with us).


Yesterday, most of the families were able to meet for a meal at Charlie & Linda's home.  It was fun to see everyone there!  Our time together was kind of a lull before the storm of excitement at the airport when our team arrives.  


Towards the end of our time together we prayed and thanked God that He was able to use us, His humble servants, staying at home, keeping it going so the guys could help the missionaries in Togo stand in the gap.  After we prayed we started to share some stories that we had heard that hadn't been posted here, or just a part of it was posted.  


Then a phone call came.  The guys were calling from the plane!  They passed the phone around in Togo and we passed the phone around here in Idaho.  It was that lavished part of God's love!  You know that part that you know He loves you, then He gives you more (like the fun fellowship time at Charlie & Linda's), then if that wasn't just enough love to show us....He let us speak to the guys.  Yes, I must shout it out....GOD LOVES US!


But then, that's what John 3:16 says, "For God so loved....."  It's all about His character!


Well, enough of that, for now!  Here's the pictures and the stories that go with them.  I want to caution you here that the first one you might want to go by quickly (but then again, it might be just me, but I'm squeamish around a little giving of blood)


From Ethan:  "Today (Sunday) was our last day in Togo and we fit a lot into the day. Pastor Dave and I did a 4 mile walk on the road that winds up the hill above the southern hospital. We left a bit before 5:30 so we enjoyed seeing the sun rise above the clouds and small mountains and the view from the hillside looking down on the valley was amazing. Following breakfast we attended church at one of the churches near the hospital."

After church we were informed of a need for blood at the hospital’s blood bank so a number of us lined up to give blood before getting on the road. 

The next stop was lunch at a French restaurant followed by a quick stop at the gift shop at the school for the blind that ABWE operates. From there it was on to Lome to catch our 10pm flight to Paris.

Yesterday (Saturday) we left the guest house in Mango and took the 10 hour trip to the southern hospital in Togo that ABWE operates.

Once we arrived we got a tour of the grounds, the hospital, and the CRC (Christian Resource Center) which prints and distributes Bible study and Sunday school materials and tools in French and some of the tribal languages.
