Sunday morning

Sunday, December 14, 2008

This morning we attended Wuiti Church and were blessed to see wonderful singing and praising. Charles Ray gave his testimony to the church and told a wonderful story about working with a young man in RA’s without the teaching material as was expected. Using crayons and paper to keep the children busy, Charles Ray asked the children to illustrate what church meant to their young minds. During this time Charles Ray discovered a young 8 year old who understood what church truly was. This young man drew a man hanging on the cross. Charles Ray’s story made an impression on the church members as well as his traveling group.

As always is the custom, the leaders of the church met with their visitors after the service treating us to Cokes, Fantas, and cookies (biscuits) while visiting with us about our plans. The Togolese are wonderful people who are truly happy with our visitation.

This afternoon brings a bit of rest….trying to communicate with home and washing some clothes. Tonight after dinner we will attend the Hosanna church as Randy Calvert will be giving his testimony and Jeff will be trying his hand at preaching for the first time (please pray for those people for having to endure that).

It is really hot and humid here but we are drinking lots of water and iced tea at lunch and dinner. Oh yeah…the initial review on the food…not bad at all….surprisingly good.

On a lighter side….we all were very happy and grateful for all the Bobcat updates during the late night. I think we stayed up till it was 21-0 then figured out that the Voodoo lady’s hex worked out. I think we are going back to visit her to give her some more pink chickens for next week’s game against Carthage.

Congrats to the Bobcats for an impressive victory over Liberty Hill. We are very happy to be here but we sure miss being there to support our team. Blessings to you all and thank you for your support and prayers. We miss you dearly.
