10am church service. The first hour was singing and dancing followed by a testimony and a 40min sermon. Afterwards they called people to the front to be prayed for and then called the students who are about to sit for exams and prayed for them. These Africans have certainly got the rhythm happening. Helen cuddled baby Eve for most of the service. She is the baby in my earlier photos.
Linda and Graham had visitors for lunch today. We all ate in the Pyat(eating house) together. You may remember the American baby that had to be medi-vacced out last year well that was the visiting family so we got to see the famous Jordan who is believed to be the first white baby born in South Sudan. There were other visitors also from America who were on a mission from their church. They had travelled through 11 African countries finding a list of pressing needs to take back to their church to make a decision for support. We are certainly meeting some very interesting people who are extremely mission minded.
Our afternoon was spent in a very leisurely way sitting around editing photos and reading(too hot for anything else). Late afternoon when it cooled down a little the boys played soccer, some of us had dance fun with the American team that is staying here and a short stroll around the property.
Darkness falls by 7pm and that is when we see the fireflies lighting the path. Amazing!
