A higher degree?
I read "The Dead Past" by Isaac Asimov and found a quote that I really liked. It fits well as I am studying for a M.A. degree.
"A degree... is a first step down a ruinous highway. You don't want to waste it so you go on to graduate work and doctoral research. You end up a thoroughgoing ignoramus on everything in the world except for one subdivisional sliver of nothing."

Talbot
Hello all,
It has been forever since I last posted and that is my fault. I am back in the United States and am in sunny California. I am currently attending Talbot Theological Seminary. My favorite class right now is probably Spiritual Formation and my least favorite is Principles of Hermeneutics.
I am living in a small house with five other guys less than a mile from Talbot. I play tennis Thursday nights, ultimate Frisbee on Fridays. I also meet with some old clubs I used to be with from time to time. Usually I don't have much time because of all the school work.
I do not have a job currently, but will hopefully have one by next semester. I am currently reading the sixth book of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series.

Christmas at Home and the Return to Africa
Hello all,
I am writting from the Samaritan's Purse guesthouse in Nairobi. In a little bit, I will be heading out to fly to Southern Sudan and return to Kajo Keji.
I had a wonderful home leave in the states. Despite the 6+ feet of snow that fell. In fact, that gave me a good chance to try to learn to downhill ski. I was able to go to Mount Spokane and a place close to Boise Idaho called Bogus.
As apart of Christmas I wrote a poem for the family. It is not actually in its finished stage as I have some adjustments I thought of which I will make. However, I will post that here when it is done.
My family kept the Lewis tradition of a music night alive this year. Each year, we assemble with several other families and share an evening of music. Each person or family takes turns presenting some music or poetry to the rest of the group.
My other highlights were Christmas day and our trip to Idaho to visit friends.
While at home, I started taking a closer look at grad schools. I have started preparing applications to send and hopefully I will be accepted into a program to start next fall.
Overall, I am very happy to have been able to go home for a little while. Now I am back here and looking forward to the next six months of work. I brought a projector with me which I will use to show some videos and movies to the Sudanese and Ugandan fellows at my base. I can't wait to see what they think of some of the films on a large screen. Showing these can be a good discussion point also.
As I go forward, I want to thank God for his provision. He has protected me and the other SP people out here; blessed me with good Sudanese friends and given me a good work. I look forward to seeing how the Lord continues to work in this part of the world.
I would like to thank those who are praying for me. I believe prayer is a real and powerful resource for the Christian and is very important for what they do.

Prayer Requests
Continued Growth of relationships with other SP people at our compound.
Wisdome in doing the work I have been given.
Safety from the dangers that are present (LRA, landmines, badroads, tensions between south and north, etc)
Continued growth in my own knowledge and relationship with God.

Till I write again
Hello everyone,
Yes, I know it has been forever since I have written. And in truth this post does not really count. I have not been able to update the site because of my lack of getting to a place with Internet service. However, in December that will change. Yes, about the time of Christmas I will be able to write some true updates to this site; not to mention I will be adding many pictures. I will also update my facebook page and flickr accounts with material like this as well.

September update
Hello everyone,
It seems like an eternity passes between my various posts and I am sorry for it. I have update my flickr account with more pictures from Sudan, so if you are interested, you can go there and see them. Search for AdamLewis06 on flickr and you should find my photos. I am trying to get some descriptions on them so that you can get an idea of the places I have been out here.
A new chapter is opening up for me in Sudan in the town of Kajo Keji. I will be responsible for representing SP at the openings of the many churches which have and are being built out there. I am also going to be responsible for reports, picture taking and interviews at each site. If fortunate maybe one of my opening reports might find itself onto the SP website.
There is a lot of work going on with double the construction teams that were present in Maridi. I am looking forward to working with the other SP people out there including one or two ex-pats from the US, a Kenyan and Ugandan who will be on the base with me. The fellow from Uganda, named Henry, I believe will challenge me to quite a bit of soccer. I look forward to being able to get some good pictures of Kajo Keji to share with you all. I Should be able to get them up by the latest of mid December.
One nice thing about Kajo Keji is the different terrain. Whereas Maridi, Lainya and Rumbek were somewhat flat with a few hills around; Kajo Keji is set in rolling hills that come up from the Nile river. This allows for some very nice vistas. Another nice thing is that I will have a better view of the sunsets. In Maridi, we faced West and were at the base of a small hill with trees. The hill and the trees on it blocked out most of the sunsets you might have seen. Needless to say, this is not the case in Kajo Keji.

Prayer Requests
1. As I start a new position, pray that I would be able to do a good job and so benefit the work going on out here.
2. As I am at a new base pray for the relationships which will be formed.
