Sunday

Our Sunday here was very successful. We were all up early preparing for the day. Church began promptly at 9:30, and our team was an integral part of the service. Their main choir led in a few songs of worship followed by two songs by the children's choir. Our whole team was then called up to the front to introduce ourselves. They continued with testimonies by two people in the congregation and taking of the offering. The rest of the service included Aaron leading us in a few songs of worship, Craig giving a quick testimony, Sandi sharing a few words, and Aaron doing a short teaching. The service ended with Pastor Tom, the head pastor here, thanking our team for all the work we have been doing and closing in prayer.

The day did not end there. We changed our clothes, ate a quick lunch at House 8, and headed back up to the church. We had planned a three-hour program for the kids in the community. It was like a mini VBS, with songs, games, crafts, and a story time. Aaron and Breanna did a short skit, which included the story about the widow who came to Elisha for help. It was a great way to remind the kids that God loves them and will always provide for them.

Today, we are painting for several hours. We hope to finish the first coat in two more of the homes. We will be going to dinner at the Masiko's, which we are all very excited about. They always make us feel extremely loved, and the food never disappoints us. The only downside is our time for painting will be cut a little short today. Please pray that God multiplies our time.
