Oh my goodness, this trip has been an amazing experience so far. Let me tell you first about yesterday, and then I will talk about what I have done/learned today.
Sunday:
Mr. Ed, Ms. Patty, Daniel, John, David, and I went to one church, and the rest went to another church. We sang "Blessed Be Your Name" and Ms. Patty, John, and I gave our testimonies while Aunt Doris translated. The service was 2 hours and 35 minutes long, so it was a bit longer than an average North Ridge 10:45 service. The service went really well and it was really cool to be in a different church setting. At the afternoon service, we were all together. We sang "Blessed Be Your Name" again and we also sang "In Christ Alone." Anna, Daryl, and I sang "Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone" before Daryl gave her testimony. In summary, Sunday was awesome and I could really write tons more things, but you will just have to wait to hear :)
Monday:
Today was a really touching day for me. A few of us went to an amazing lady's house to help her harvest her moringa trees. She cuts the branches and then brings them to the Strongs and they pay her for her work. Our job was to help her for the morning. She has HIV/AIDS and she is a widow with 8 children, 6 of which live at home - the youngest is about three. She became a Christian about three years ago during the PLHA ministry. She has to provide for her children by herself. She blessed me probably a lot more than what our help was worth. It was incredible to hear her story. I have so much more to say, but I should really go to bed :)
Thank you so much for your prayers! It's great to know that y'all are praying for us and thinking about us.
