Wow. Where do I begin. Today was awesome. We began with a breakfast of cereal and toast. Then we headed into Heidelberg to scope out Extension 23. When we arrived , a man taught us how to set up the eco gardens. We went to Sello's house and began our work. After an hour and a half of digging, the garden was complete.
The other part of our group went to do house visitation and invite the kids to Bible School. We met up at 12:00 and went to a park for lunch. Lunch consisted of tuna fish sandwiches, chips, and tangerines. After lunch we returned to Extension 23 for a day we will never forget. The children came and came. Well over 100 kids came. We played soccer and then had Bible school. I had most of the children sign their names in my journal along with their ages. These children have been out of school for 3 weeks because their teachers are on strike. They are asking for a 12 % pay raise and the government is only offering 6%. Bible school went great. Tabitha, Carla, and I had over 30 in our teen group. Thabso was our translator. We studied the birth of Jesus and I shared the salvation message. Then Marty and Josh introduced the kids to American flag football.
Around 5 P.M. we went a few blocks over and went into a church around 20x10 in size. They got with the worship and led us into the presence of the Lord. CJ and I shared our testimony and Marty preached.
After church we returned home to the farm and had supper. Supper was beef stroganoff with mixed vegetables and butterscotch pudding.
Time for bed. WE are tired……………….
