After painting Faith Junior School for four days, the job is finally done! We sang and laughed the whole way through, enjoying the hard work. Once the work was finished, we were able to be reunited at Faith Children's Home (the orphanage). The image of the children running toward us with smiles from ear to ear is something we'll never forget. Our time with them is always special and joyous... I don't know how we'll manage saying goodbye.
Each night we continue to have church fellowship, consisting of worship and two sermons given by a rotation of our "team team". On Sunday Kaly and I spoke at church! We've definitely been learning a lot from the preparation it takes to preach. More extensive time spent in the Word and in prayer has undoubtedly been great for all of us. For me, I know I gain an incredible sense of peace and clarity that can only come from the Lord. But there's also conviction that comes with all these teachings...
On Friday the twins came home from boarding school! There are now 18 people living in this house. Plus all the random people that come to serve and be friends. All I have to say is it's a full house, but never a bore.
Pastor Hudson and his wife Mercy took us to the rainforest yesterday for a wonderful lunch and to see monkeys! It was super refreshing and relaxing to get away for a second and breathe. All of us have felt some sort of sickness the past couple of days, ranging from allergies to migraines to the flu. But by the grace of God we're all feeling much much better and healthy. (Note to all concerned parents: We're fine! It could be far worse).
Everything is still going strong here. Trying to soak in these last 8 days in Africa as best we can. Thank you all for the continued love and prayers!!!
