Good morning to all. I awoke to the cries of babies this morning and to a beautiful African sunrise. I am now listening to 100+ children sing praise songs before they eat breakfast. If that does not make your heart smile and Spirit worship the Father............
Yesterday we poured a 8'x9' concrete slab for them to put a generator on. The generator was donated to help alleviate the issue with electricity outages. The generator will arrive next week so it was imperative that the slab was finished. It was a cumulative effort that took us about 8-10 hours. We had a cement mixer but all the rock, sand and water had to be carried in. Many of the children helped carry the water. Jacob, Josh and some of the older boys had to use wheel barrels to transport the rock and sand about 1/2 mile to where we were working. It took about 60 loads to get the amount of material needed. By the end of the day we were exhausted but that part of the project is completed.
Church will begin in a few hours. We will travel to Sibango (a small village nearby) to worship with the pastor (Pastor George) that hosted us a few days ago for the bible study. I am excited about praising the Father with a local body of believers.
I am not sure what the rest of the day will hold but I know it will involve hugs and kisses from these children. Have no doubt, there are several children that try our patience. They each have their own way of getting attention and for some that means .............. I'll leave it to your imagination. Just picture your children doing what drives you crazy.
Just a few more days in Africa. Our time has escaped to quickly.
