Up early at the Hotel Stallion. Had some quiet time,m tthen b/fast: pineapple, white bread, Nescafe Instant coffee, some kind of egg filled with 'something', and then short sharing of devotions with Team.
Off to Camp at 7;15am. Served b/fast to children, thenn praise/worship. While kids were in small group devotions we prepared for our MOnday Lesson & Crafts for the kids. They are divided into groups by age,..about 100 in a group. Ours had 10 year olds. Pretty roudy, but lots of fun.
After Lesson time, the older kids were sent to something new this ytear: Sex Education. Pastor Irene brought a good presentation of issues like abuse, HIV, STD's, and so on. The kids were very aattentive, & were encouraged to turn in personal questions to Pastor Irene. Some of their issues were UNBELIEVABLE!!
Lunchtime, and rain,..in between HOT sun!! Several of Team watched a cow being slaughterd for dinner tonite,..interesting,..This IS Africa!!
Afternoons were sports, siesta, small groups, & hanging out with kids. They love to talk, look at our pictures on phones, & tablets, and to laugh. They also rub our arms/legs to see if our color comes off, And, our body hair, too.
The cow took a LONG time to cook,..so Supper was served after dark, & outside, by flashlights. Fortunately, no children were burned.
After dinner is Worship time. All the kids were PUMPED UP & READY!! When our worship pastor Barrett took the stage with his guitar,..the 600+ kids went NUTS!!! Words cannot describe it. Calling it a Rock Concert isn't reallty good enough. The so-called Mosh Pit in fr9on of the stage filled with dancing, praising, yellin, swirling kids. What a rush to join them in going craxy, pra8ising the Lord. As for me, it was a long time since I'd danced, sang, & praised like that.
About 9pm, we boarded the bus to the hotel,..To bed & sweet dreams. 5:30am comes early
