Another Good Weekend
We have had another good weekend of ministry. We have been at Emjindini Friday, Saturday and today. This is a church we helped start in 2008 when we were here. They started in a tent and are now in a shack church. They have been obtaining blocks for their permanent structure. They hope to finish it in the next few months. Many people testified to receiving help from the Lord. They have quite a few children and young people compared to adults. The children, youth and adults have a verse to learn every week.
It was an interesting day today. They had a time of bringing us gifts at the end of the service. We received a small amount of money, some drinking glasses, 3 yard brooms and a "LIVE" chicken. What really made it interesting was the chicken got out of the box on the way home. All of a sudden I heard Mikki say, "Oh no, the chicken got loose." She had to undo her seat belt and reach behind my seat and hold it down until we got home. I got out while she held it down and got a hold of it while she got out and came around to the back door. We got it in a plastic bag and put it back in the box with a hole for it's head. We then put 2 bricks on top the box to hold it. They killed it a while later and we will probably have it for supper. The not so interesting part is what the chicken did on the seat and floor before we got home. Needless to say I had to take it to a place that washes the car and does a really good job of cleaning the inside. Another African adventure.
It is almost unbelievable that we fly home in 9 days. Now the fun of packing all this stuff to come home the next few days. Tomorrow we will go wash clothes like our grandmothers, by hand. Where we will go has two cement sinks in the back yard for washing. Nice not to have to dump the wash tub to put in rinse water in. We will really appreciate our washing machine when we get home
I will try to load some more pictures and videos. Only 1 picture in 45 minutes. I will try tomorrow.
