Autumn's proof!!!!
Hello all...it's Wednesday evening about 10:30 pm here...we've had a great day. The needs here are overwhelming. Our hosts have been great and are very preotective of us. Today was our first day at the Church. We set up the p.a. system that we purchased for them. All of the equipment arrived in perfect condition and sounds GREAT! It was a big success. This evening we had our first service. First they had their worship team with Pastor Irungu, and then we had worship and prayer. All in all, it's been an amazing experience thus far...oh, and by the way? It's in the 80's during the day and 60s at night...NO SNOW here! :o) Weather is perfect. More pictures attached...here's a few words from some of the group. We'll try to have some different people each night if we can. Take care...
Hi, Pastor Sharon here. What a culture shock. Not a dry eye when you realize what it takes just to get through a day for the people here. We have been received so well and have already made close relationships. We're tired, sweaty but ready to start again tomorrow. Every effort is well worth it and the experience is really humbling. Miss you all and thanks for the comments!!
Hi it's Randy - It's been a wonderful trip so far. Today was a very exciting day for us going to the church for the first time and nothing could have prepered us for what was to come. It was a very humbling experiance for all off us. God has really started things off with a bang. the people were telling us how blessed they are that we are here, but it is all of us that are blessed. Life as we know it does not exist here. What a shock. But all is well and looking forward to see what God does tomorrow. Fill more later, see you for now.
So good to read about your first day at their church. We can only imagine how humbling all of your experiences with the people there must have been.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the pic/proof of mom and dad!!:) Seeing the other pics brings back many memories of Jamacia missionary trip, 18 years ago,for me.

Autumn.

I so happy to see that everyone is having a great experience and all in different ways. It has to be the most humbling experience in the world to see and walk with the people over there and just be thankful for what we do have and try to give them love.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see more!
Dear Mom and Dad,
ReplyDeleteCome home soon, Martha is mean! She won't let me out of the kitchen to play with Jake and Joe. I whine and she calls me a big dumb horse....I'm not a dumb horse, I am a dog. Please bring me home a kangaroo to play with. I am tired of chasing my tail.
Love and slobbers,
