Welcome to Natitingou friends,
Or as most people would say Bon Arrivé (French keyboards may be difficult to handle but they are certainly are nice for accents!) I arrived here in Nati (the local term for Natitingou, as you may have guessed) yesterday afternoon. Suzy was there right away to get me, she said she almost missed seeing me, but one of the children in her truck pointed my bus out as it passed, thank God! It seems one of the best regulators that I am going farther from civilization is slower internet, but I know that having internet is a great privilege. Well the night went well and I went out and bought some bought some cooked rice and cheese and bread for breakfast, delicious! I am staying at one of the missionarys home, for a while as they are out on furlough, until I find a more permanent place. God bless. I hope to have pics up soon, well relatively.
In His strong grip,
Eric

Good to read of your arrival even though I had received that text message from Suzy...another miracle from God when the child saw you and Suzy didn't...God it Good...all the time...all the time...God is Good.
WE miss you but are happy that all is going well. We know that you will be a blessing to others and that you will also be blessed.
Love you lots & Lots,
Maman & Papa
Smile, God loves you! :-)
Un do ku nu we Low Voe you are now in NATI, Still amazed that text messaging and internet have reached deep into Africa.........I'll get over my 1970's version of Africa soon I promise. Everyday I check your blog, glad I could read the good news today about your safe arrival. And so the journey of missions continues and it certainly entails a lot of interesting adjustments like your breakfast food........for example.I guess in time you will learn to make Ablă : Pâte de haricots assaisonnée et cuite à la vapeur and Abɔkúnwɔ́. : Pâte de sorgho (gros mil).
Anyway remember we are praying for you and the people of Benin. I have a new saying for you about trusting God. It's not mine, I borrowed it from someone.
"God's Grip Don't Slip. Bad grammar, but very poignant.
Remember that always especially when you start feeling desolate and alone. God does care. Always has, always will. The only thing that He asks, is to have faith and believe." M. Strenglein
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
