It is a hot sunday evening in Guinea Bissau. Just got back from a long walk with Abraham who took us around the village and to meet his father, the village chief. Jim, Jon, Don and I were on the walk. The Sunday activities began Saturday night at 9 p.m. with a children's church worship service led by the children - about 30-40 children. The sounds of worship and drums lasted until about 9:50 p.m.
Morning worship began again with the children led by Mario at 9:30 followed by some children lessons until 10:15 a.m. Have some good video and photos of everything.
Adult worship began at 10:15 and singing continued until about 11:15 a.m. I then preached for about 25 minutes followed by about 10 minutes or so of questions and answers. I continue to feel the effects of a bad cold, but am taking cold medicine and drinking tea.
The YES team made us a great African meal of rice, beans and leaves for lunch - sat on the veranda of their house on mats eating the meal out of three large meals. Thank you YES team!
We are now sitting on the back porch of the church where the kitchen, our room and Beryl's room is. We are enjoying talking with people fromt he village and some of the YES'ers. It is now about 5:30 p.m. and will get dark around 7:30.
It is so great to meet all the people from the village, the church, the YES team, and other mission workers. Thank you for your prayers!
