Dear Friends, I can't believe we've been here a month already! Thank you for your prayers; God is responding, as always. Our teammates Leslie and Loopie Williams and their kids are doing an amazing job of making friends in town, while we Reeses are focusing more on learning Tawala and making friends in the nearby villages. Diane is especially good at getting out every day with her tape recorder. You can tell she has fun because her recordings are only half language learning; the other half you can't hear anything but Diane and the village ladies laughing together. Our daughter is also popular, and I am no longer surprised to hear village ladies (some we have never met) calling out, "Hello, Hannah!" Even though we are focusing on the village ministry, our town ministry (in English) is also taking off. People have already started dropping in to talk for a few hours at a time. I have gotten to know a number of working people in the process of making initial improvements to our home, and we have also gotten to know the three local members of our congregation. We are meeting with them at a school facility now. The twenty-two year old man of the family, Poni, has agreed to give his first little talk during the church service this coming Sunday. So as you can see, we have many things to thank God for, as do all of you who have a part in this ministry. Love, Marcus, with Diane and Hannah Reese
