Africa day 11 (July 13)

Africa day 11 (July 13)
Okay so today we woke up real early to go to Ekubo Ministries and the bus was super late! We did not  have very much time there! It kinda sucked! But once we finally got there I got to work in the medical clinic with the nurse on the team! It really was neat!!! I absolutely loved it! Ekubo was probably my favorite because of that! God has really got me thinking about being a nurse versus a doctor because of the schooling and debt I would be in because of that! Also how I might be restricted to have to be in the US if i had debt from school and time off and all! I dont know anymore exactly what I was to do like I used to! Good thing Im only 16. We ate lunch at the ministry and Then we left for Cannan in Jinja! It was a long car ride and on the way we ran across an accident. This gas truck hit a bus full of school children. It was  making our whole bus Tear up! At dinner Gina always shares what God has laid on her heart to share and she felt like He wanted to talk about fear again. It was a great talk she added onto the night before when she talked about how fear is not from God! He tells us do not fear 365 times in the bible! It is not a sin to be afraid but God tells us to not fear because it is not good for us! He loves me more than Gina and Jason do, more than my parents love me, more than my friends love me and more than my future husband will me! Fear keeps us from serving God fully! Fear is something that Satan uses to bound us to ourselves and keep us from God! When we live in fear, we live in bondage! The answer to every fear, worry, or anxious thought is MY God loves me more than I could ever know! If I die I get to go be with Him, if not I get to stay here and serve him more!!  I have learned so much from Gina and Jason.  God is so good! After dinner we went to our room at Cannan.  I shared a house with half the team including Gina Jason and their Kids. They were telling hilarious stories about their grandmother/great grandmother who has Alzheimer's! It was so funny the stuff she would say and do! After awhile we had to shower an go to bed. Nathan (the older son) went to shower and when he turned the water off the shower knob broke off and water was pouring out of the wall! Nobody could fix it and the entire bathroom was flooding. The trash can was even floating! We eventually had to go get momma rebecca to come fix it! She walked in with a stick and a machete and some how fixed it! The African way always works the best even if us Americans think something would work better! We got another good laugh before bed!
