It's that time of year here in Botswana where you can leave your doors and windows open with no threat of insects. you can leave your jackets at home and not worry about the heat or cold. In other words, it's perfect. But apparently, the "cold front" here that is happening is causing difficulty in punctuality for church services. As Moruti James stated, it is understandable that the weather has been cold, but everyone still needs to be prompt for services.
The people that we have met have been just great. Yesterday we spent some time trying to paint the picnic tables for the feeding project. It was our great joy to let some of the kids in on the work. Their tecnique is a bit different from ours. They taught us to scoop out the paint with the brushes and slap it on the wood, each scoop using more paint - which tends to result in a sticky, muddy affect. (maybe tomorrow we'll try to get there before the kids do).
Today was church. Moruti James taught on Jude 1:1,2. He taught about calling and servanthood. It was a convicting call for all of us to live in slavery to Jesus Christ and get out of the situations in our lives that keep us from hearing God.
I love these people here. We girls have made friends already. Becky is named Maipelo and I am named Buipelo.
Barb was sick yesterday from an antibiotic but is better now. I am having trouble sleeping at night. For us, please pray for continued health and energy. For the church, please pray for discipleship among the women. It is evident that the people who have given their lives to the Lord here, are living for Him with their whole heart. Please pray that we would imitate these examples.
Can't wait to share our pictures and our experiences with Harvest when we return.
We are looking for Chompers. He will not be forgotten.
