Today was the big Genesis Test! Because of the timing of getting it printed, I just tested them over the first 22 chapters of Genesis. The Seminary President thinks they did alright; I think they could have done better. I don't think they are used to taking tests --- there was a lot of anxiety and they misread a lot of the questions.

We heard today that the rebel terrorist group "The Lord's Revolutionary Army" based in Uganda (I think) seems to have the upper hand in the Congo. That caused a little stir around here. This whole week has been focused on Peace in Sudan. They are having prayer services throughout Yambio, with the grand finale tomorrow morning. If this report about the rebelsis true, then prayer is in order!

I heard a BBC Africa broadcast today saying 40% of Kenya's prescription drug supply is counterfeit. The drug that is attacked most often is the malaria medicine. They say it comes out of China and India. Kenya is looked to as one of the leading countries in East Africa, one of the more advanced and developed countries. If it's 40% in Kenya, then I wonder what it is here in Sudan, a severely underdeveloped and war torn country. They say it is hard to even recognize the counterfeit drugs. It is hard to even imagine the concept of counterfeit drugs, isn't it?

Tomorrow is my last full day here, if the Lord wills. I am not sure if I will be able to get to the internet because of the big peace rally. I will try. Please pray that I have a safe and uneventful flight home on Thursday and Friday. If the Lord wills, I will see you Sunday for the "Parable of the Unmerciful Servant"!
