Prayer Partner of the Day: Kendall Cox
Did I mention we had no water the last couple of days? So showers came from a bucket! Today, we had water back...and a nice cold shower got the day started nicely!
It was a beautiful day in Cazale. We washed 100 bottles with clorox and water. The gals labeled and numbered them later in the afternoon. The kids are out of school this week, as today was exam day and then they have spring break. Students were scattered across the church and school classrooms, with their heads down and concentrated. We made an additional "Bon Dlo + Men Pwop = Ko An Sante" banner for the HUMC kids to take back to the church. As the kids were coming out of their exam time, they put their handprints on the banner!
Sam, Elizabeth and I declared the afternoon "homework" time, and thankfully I was able to get ahead a bit! The hours continued to be filled with beautiful chatter and fellowship amongst the team and our new Haitian family in Cazale. Pere Goursse brought out fresh coconuts and showed off his machete skills! Around 3:00pm, we walked with Goursse down the block and to a house and the second floor. There we found Ancy teaching an English class. We stayed for a couple of hours, and each took a turn teaching a few English phrases. I took the opportunity to start in Genesis, which led to Adam and Eve, which led to Noah, which led to a flood, which led to animals, which led to Father Abraham, which led to the song, right arm, left arm, right foot, left foot, which then led to "head, shoulders, knees and toes!" Yes, I can't really explain the way my thought process works, but indeed we had a great time!
After packing up from English class, Sam and Goursse suited up for the neighborhood soccer game. The young ladies in Cazale came out in droves to see the two young studs play ball! Sam scored twice and Goursse scored once, which only added to their following!
Our English teaching friends, Reuben & Jean, visited tonight, and it was an early to bed for many of us. Tomorrow will be our celebration, and what a glorious day it will be!
