Day 23 - Tuesday July 10, 2007

Greetings from Africa!

  

    Today was another busy, but fun filled day at the Children of Zion Village.Last night the staff members met at the Minks house for devotion with amazing praise music, don’t you worry we will be bringing some new songs home with us for sundays! After music Frank led a powerful devotion on Miracles. In the morning at 7:30 Carol lead a devotion for the entire group of 55 children and all the staff members. Carol, Frank, Jamie and Becca headed to Mafuta this morning, Jamie came back feeling very overwhelmed after being placed in a classroom of 20 preschoolers who spoke very little English. Becca and the others helped hand out hats to all the children. Back at the village Courtney and Sarah helped with the kindergardners and preschoolers, while Kevin, Melissa and Jackie helped in the older classrooms. Frank stayed busy all day on the work site and the building is really starting to come along!  In the afternoon Kevin, Courtney, Mellisa and Jamie worked on Prayer Journals with the children. Jackie worked in the school helping children with their homework and school work that they were struggling with. During chores Melissa was a huge help with the goats and is slowly learning how to milk, Courtney and Jamie did a good job at supervising since there farming skills are at a minimum. Kevin struggled during chores to get Kugo just to walk next to him, really he just tried to knock him over and slimed him to death, it was quite amusing to watch.

  

    Sarah asked us to tell you a little about our living conditions. Well we sleep under nets, but really they are slashed and holey so we don’t really know why we even depend on them to keep the bugs out. We were also told to tell you about the ground, it’s basically like one big beach that never ends. Sand’s everywhere and on everyone.

  

Blessings from Namibia!
Courtney and Linnet
