Monday in the village

Monday night Carol texted a message to Dee Dee to let us know what an awesome, full day the team had. 
She said "Wow, What a day! I had to ask myself tonight-is it still Monday because it was a very full day!"
The team had a great program in the morning and then they had games, songs, and a skit in the large group in the afternoon. They broke up into small groups to do crafts and lesson discussions afterwards. After supper, the group played with the kids and showed some videos. Carol said us parents would be so amazed at how our teenagers are connecting with these kids through all the activities. The children are flocking to our teens. They had more kids from the village join them in the afternoon and evening as word spread that the missionaries were in town. 


Carol asks that we keep praying for water pressure. All the girls have showered, however, the boys have not been able to shower since Saturday night. They were hoping and praying for showers Monday night...I haven't heard if they happened yet. But they are praising God for the connections they are making with the kids in the orphanage and the village.


Last time I was in the village, the indoor showers didn't work. I'm not sure how it is this year. The outdoor showers are quite a site. It is a concrete type building that is scary to walk in to. It looks like a building straight from a WWII concentration camp scene in a movie. The water is heated by coal being shoveled into it. The coal is shoveled by two old men who are not very patient about our wanting to take turns in the showers and not taking them all at one time. Hopefully, the kids get to use the indoor showers! :)
