Well our supervisor is headed to South Africa to have some work done on her back and her supervisor has stepped in to take care of us for the remainder of our time in Africa. We get to go to his house with his family every weekend now so we can rest in between our weeks of ministry out in the village. We are headed that way now and just stopped off at the internet cafe to update. Every Friday their family does pizza and a movie night! Yea for family time tonight! I'm excited to spend time with a mom dad and little sister for the next few weekends!
This past week we went out to our village on Tuesday and storied at 2 compounds. It was an encouraging day with ladies who were excited to hear bible stories and talk about them! It's cold now in Africa! I mean I'm freezing at night under my fleece blanket! It's really exciting! Our chief on Tuesday night sat outside listening to his radio with a blanket wrapped around his whole body! We had a great time being back on Tuesday night laughing with our brothers and joking and being silly with them. Wednesday we went to a compound that our mom had told us not to go to because the husband is a religious teacher. We just went to greet the ladies and feel it out first and didn't do stories the first time going there. We had chewtum with 3 different ladies! They all wanted us to come to their hut and try their chewtum! One of them even asked about hearing a story so we're going back there next week to tell them stories! Thursday we went out to the other side of our village. About a 2 mile walk. We storied at 2 different compounds and the first lady told the stories back to us which was pretty neat! The second one was not as thrilled. She was not willing to even carry on conversation about the stories so we will not be going back to her place unless she outright asks to hear more. Today is Friday and we came in this morning. The other girls are not feeling well and my stomach has been funny since I woke up. We're blaming that on eating chewtum 6 times this week!
Over all I feel like the Lord has been faithful to give direction and make us attentive to His spirit and He has really led us to some neat people! Please continue to pray for the Lord to continue to speak to us in that way! We have 2 more full weeks out in our village and the last week we may or may not be going out depending on packing and saying goodbye to our people and all that sort of stuff. I'm so so excited to come home and wear scarves and JEANS and not a skirt! But I'm also very excited to finish these last few weeks out strong and to wrap things up here! Thank you for your prayers!
