I am going to try and send some more pictures today if everything cooperates. Last night it would not let me upload.
Saturday night's service was so exciting. Many children and youth came forward to receive Christ. Also some adults came forward to completely surrender their lives to Christ.
Sunday was a good service also and some came forward for various reasons. They had a meal after service for everyone. We had chicken, squash and samp (like hominy). We were disappointed that there was no pap. We found out somehow they thought we did not like pap.
Please pray for better understanding between us and the South Africans. Lately many things are getting lost in the translation. We are always able to work through it, but sometimes it gets interesting. Flexibility is the key over here. It is there culture and we are the ones who must adjust.
We have a day off today and a car. We were hoping to leave early, but found out this morning, before they left for work, the owners son is coming to get the mothers car. We have to wait so we can lock the gate on the fence behind us. Everything here gets locked up with a fence and gate if you have anything. There are bars on the windows and butler gates at the doors of the house also. Anyone who knows me knows I am chomping at the bit to be going as we need to be back by dark (appx. 6pm) so I do not get lost. We have to buy a new carry on suitcase for Mikki as the zipper broke on the one she brought with her.
I was asked to post pictures of Mikki's drawings. Here is the one Sunday in stages.
