Sunday morning

Sunday morning begins with the sounds of Beryl’s flip-flops walking outside our window. It happens every morning except this morning it is an hour later than usual. For breakfast, Judy makes French toast. Beryl leaves to meet a YWAM team who will be leading worship this morning. Another beautiful African sun rises as YES team and GO members arrive for breakfast!

Children begin arriving at the gate beside our room around 8 am. Ten to fifteen children have been there ever since making loud noise – doing whatever they can to attract the attention of all the whites inside. Yesterday, two were not feeling well. They feel much better this morning. I continue to feel sick in the mornings, but by lunchtime I’m usually good – think it is the malaria medicine I take every evening. Since several have gotten malaria in the past, I think we will continue to take it for the recommended 30 days after we leave.

It is now 9:30 and we are waiting for Beryl and the YWAM team to arrive. They were expected around 9 – should be here soon. Walked back to check the 300 baby chickens that arrived on Monday. It is amazing how much they have grown in one week.

Wish I could upload photos for you to see. Maybe we will have faster internet in Rome so I can upload a few. We plan to have bean sandwiches for lunch for all 15 of us plus the 15 YWAM members.

We are hoping all the transportation goes okay this afternoon to the airport and then all the flights go well so the men can return home and Judy and I can continue on to Rome. Thanks again for your prayers.

The children in the church are now screaming and the drums are beating loudly. The YWAM team must have arrived. Time to post this and go to church.
