First morning at Zambian church! There are many young people from the college and high school. Some of the babies come from the Haven. The one that sat on my lap was names Luca (Luke) and he loved to play with my watch! Other than occupying him, I was able to sing with my Zambian brothers and sisters in Christ! It filled my heart with such joy to be singing again.
I did not stay for the sermon because I went to "Children's Church". I will have to ask what the sermon was about and stay another week. During the children's time, we sang more songs and heard a small Bible story about the Good Samaritan. Their teacher asked them to think about bringing their best outfit to give away to someone they do not know as a way of helping them like the Good Samaritan. I was blown away by the request, but humbled at the same time. God loves all of his children and this was just one glimpse of the soul that exists in the children here.
Sunday's are down time for us, so this may be my day to post every week. I am not sure. Thank you for reading and commenting when you can! It is encouraging to me. I also learned the Tongan for "I love you" but I will type it another time. Besos!
I'm glad that you made it safe and that things are going well for you! Keep updating and letting us know how things are going. Prayers and blessings for you friend.
