A new report was just posted this morning. Here it is:

---START REPORT---- Mathew went to move the other teen team [Lauriana's team] on Monday from Benga II, Wellman Family Orphan Rescue Unit to Mangochi, Heart of Faith Orphan Rescue Unit. They did not have a chance to go to an Internet place to write a report. They are in the bush still and NOT going anywhere near civilization soon.

Teen Missions videos the evening "rallies" and streams them here. Here are a couple of the archived videos in which Lauriana appears, if briefly.

Because we haven't been getting any letters for some reason, we rely on seeing her in these videos. Enjoy!

Note: you can browse all the Teen Mission videos here.
