Jefferson's Funeral

Jefferson's funeral is tomorrow at 10 with the wake tonight at 9.  Darrell also went out there this afternoon at 5 for the arrival of the body.

Wakes in Liberia usually last all night with preaching and singing, and we expect this one will be the same.  We will probably stay until about midnight unless Darrell hasn't had his turn to preach by that time.  

Darrell will also be preaching tomorrow at the funeral, and Jefferson's brother told him to preach 3 hours if he wanted to!  I'm sure everyone would be asleep if he did that after an all-night wake.  Mind you, I'm not saying Darrell's preaching puts people to sleep, but there is a limit!  And don't worry, he won't preach 3 hours!!!

It is so comforting to know where Jefferson is and that his suffering is over.  We pray that others will come to that place as a result of Jefferson's testimony and the godly example he set.

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life..."  I John 5:13
