Random highlights of day one.

  • We worshiped at The Youth Center this am- Cool service, it was actually youth week in all the area churches and they were in charge of the entire service.
  • The youth pastor spoke- message was on Joy & Excellence. More on this in a future blog. Great stuff!!
  • Lots of singing and dancing going on. Offering was cool- maybe more on that later.
  • Took a tour of one of the compassion sites and a school there after worship.
  • Had lunch at the U.S.  Embassy- ate a cheeseburger, but it wasn’t a real cheeseburger.
  • 105 degrees today
  • A little rest after lunch and then we visited a couple areas that are in the process of future schools, compassionate sites, and churches.
  • Visited the Dorcas house, which is a place for at risk women. Spent some time with them just visiting and hearing vision. 
  • Met a 1 1/2 year old boy named Arman.  We played soccer and threw the ball. He actually wet on me as well, while i was holding him. They say ministry is messy right? Was humbled when we left, they ask if they could keep one person and I was chosen. I don’t think my families up for that, huh. :)
  • Played a round of Duck, Duck, Goose with some kids- they caught on fast.
  • Had dinner at the missionaries house. Pizza, brownies, & sweet tea.
  • A little debriefing and back to the house where we’re staying.
  • Off to Lac tomorrow am for some work on a guest house.
  • Pics of day 1 HERE- (hopefully this works).
