In Cotonou number three

Trip 3 Welcome back to Cotonou. I have had the privilege of escorting our field director, Laurence back to Cotonou to fly to Togo before heading home. It was a nice bus ride, really nice to have some company. Just doing a few things here in the city and heading back to Nati tomorrow. We saw a few accidents while here, one we came by just after it happened there was a lady unconscious on the road; did not she what her injuries were. Of all the time here in Benin i have seen four even after two whole weeks just in Cotonou. When I saw her I immediately started praying for myself and Lorance that we would be safe. When we got to our destination. Lorance mentioned the accident, and said when he saw her, he started praying for her. That really struck me, I have found in Benin, I have much more strength in prayer when I pray for others. Lorance thought about the other person, i thought of myself. This has really challenged me to look deeper at my prayer life and commitment to God. We had alot of fun yesterday trying to find a flight for Lorance. He already had a reservation but we just had to find the office. At the Adventist Mission we looked for the number the phone book fro, 2004 had an old number and the number a lady gave us was not working. After asking everyone at the Mission we finally thought we had the place and took a taxi and left. They took us to a travel agent that was closed. So we called the agent, no answer. Then we asked a guard nearby who assured where the office was. Upon arrival it was open. We got the ticket and now we just had to pay. So off to four different banks before finding one to trade money (we should have gone there in the first place!) Then back to the office and secured the ticket! What an adventure, and I know God worked it all out for us.
