Cindy called this morning with an update: There have been two professions of faith today with the two from yesterday. One was the father of Emmanuel Mendy and the other was a cousin of Musa Siedie ... one with whom Tommy Myers shared. They saw about 160 individuals yesterday. They made a couple of house calls with two who could not come. Dr. Ipson gave the chief's wife an injection in her shoulder ... they think that he is a miracle worker. Larry and Kelly are in-route to Kolda where they will spend the night because it appears that they will arrive too late to travel on to Sedhiou before dark. So they should rejoin the team by mid morning tomorrow. I did not get clarified if the luggage arrived or not. They have arranged for the use of the hospital for surgery on Thursday. They have a young girl who had a severe burn to her hand. The scaring of the hand was such that the hand is now attached to her arm. Dr. Coy will do the surgery on the scaring and grafting necessary. Dr. Ipsen will do the necessary bone reconstruction. They may have a couple other surgeries as well! They dealt with a child that is 1 yr. old but weighed 9 lbs. It seems that the mother was not able to produce rich enough milk. They were able to feed it with formula. Larry and Kelly are seeking to purchase enough to last for a period of time. Cindy requests that we continue to pray for them and God will be glorified in a great manner. She says the team is doing great and each group: Evangelism, Dentists, Drs., Pharmacy-- are organized and handling the issues well. Bro. Sam | 
I talked with Gary and he said Larry an Kelly are now with the group and they did have all of the luggage... Even though he still cannot find everything!!
