Day 5

Went to HQ first thing this morning after breakfast for morning devotions. Spent some time in the cyber centre waiting for the other guys with the land rover. We were going to go and visit an old lady who we were going to build a house for on wednesday. We left late as is usual, and set off to meet this woman and her family. As we were walking to where her old house was from where the vehicle had been parked we passed a school, and loads of kids ran out to follow the group of strangers and white guys. So we got to the house where Joyce had been living, her old house had fallen apart so she had been living in her daughter's kitchen sleeping on sacks under a leeking roof. Her fellowship was also there and we stayed a while to talk to them and give encouragement. There was then a brief walk to the plot of land where the new house was going to be built. It is situated on the land of this lady's first born son. So we inspected the site and saw where we would be building. After, we headed back to where we had parked the vehicle ans were very kindly given lunch by the wife of the fellowship leader. We had rice and chicken then bananas and peanuts. There was then time on the way back to visit another fellowship in the area, packing 10 of us in the Land Rover was a bit of a challenge and not at all comfortable! We were greeted with a welcome song and given fanta and coke (a real treat) and sat and listened as Patrick spoke to the fellowship. Matthew introduced myself and Paul and explained a bit about what his involvement in the mission is. One of the members of the fellowship gave us a song about Noah with his guitar and was brilliant. When we arrived back at HQ i did some more browsing on tinternet before going back to the guesthouse for supper. After supper we had an evening devotion, something that we are experimenting with to see how it works out. This gave us the chance to talk through what we had gained from the day and also pray for particular issues individuals had rasied. Went to bed pretty early cos i was wrecked.
