Africa day 10 (July 12)
Last night I got my
luggage and it was awesome to be in my own clothes and shower in my own
stuff! We had a talk this morning and it was so cool how having to serve
one another and sharing stuff brought us so much closer as a team!
There was some tension amongst some of the team members just
personalities that clashed! God really used this to bring us together!
Once we decided to be joyful and not complain about wearing dirty
underwear and wear other girls clothes, God blessed us!
We
went to Return Ministries today! The first half of the day we played
with the kids and fed them lunch! They were so adorable! It was insane
how patient they are! We served them which took awhile to serve 300+
meals and the big kids made sure the little ones has food first! It was
neat to see how they took care of each other! We then ate lunch at
pastor Samuel's house! I ate the best chapati ever; I sware I'm going
to learn to make them! We had to go potty in the squatty potties which
was not fun. They are probably the worst part of the trip! After lunch
we went out in the community and delivered food and soap and prayed
over the people! It was amazing to see the community! I embraced the
african woman inside of me and carried the 20kilo bag of beans a d soap
on my head!! I learnded to balance pretty quickly ! All in all we walked
5 miles and I had it on my head the whole time. We had to go back
before all the bags were gone because it was getting close to dark and
we can't be out during night time! This was by far my favorite part so
far even though I will be sore tomorrow!! It has been a great day!!
Gina's talk:
"when
you start worrying, take the thought captive and ask your self what am I
worrying about? And does My God love me enough to get me through this
and make me stronger? The answer is always yes God so there is no reason
for fear and worry?"
