Into Africa: Friday Night Reflections

Reflections on Friday’s work and activities:

Chaplain Rob—The electricity went out right at shower time and just before supper time. I needed that shower! I prayed and within minutes it came back.

Abby—I was sick in the field today so I was sitting on the bus, taking a rest. Kids came up to where I was and I got to talk with them and make friends with them. I learned a lot about their country. One little boy asked what I wanted to do when I grew up and he told me he wanted to be a pilot and that he was going to fly to America and pick me up and fly me to Africa

Chaplain Rob--Teaching Eugene the Arizona handshake after he taught me the African handshake.

Mrs. Warren—I was incredibly awestruck by the nurse who works fulltime at the clinic in Simonga. She's the only one there. She sees about 35 a day and 150 a month. She does everything for everybody--delivers babies, sutures people, etc. She sees everything we did today. Everything we've seen, she sees on a daily basis. It's amazing.

Mrs. Maloon--When we were pulling into the evangelistic meeting today, we started hearing a noise. When we turned the corner there were about 100 or more kids who were so excited about VBS. They gave us an awesome welcome.

Chaplain Rob--There was a little kid who was doing the parachute who was so happy to be involved that he ran all the way out and away from the chute and back again.

Jaden--After I finished preaching I was so hot and sweaty and I got on the bus and it was air conditioned. It felt so good.
