Wow. What a weekend. Started thursday with normal running around, classes and such. Friday was Toby's big drama night at school. Each grade (1&2, 3&4 and 5-7) did a skit as well as some of the older students reciting poems and famous speeches. It was a nice time to see the kids and parents as well. Saturday was nuts for Cami. She went out to teach at the orphanage of friends of ours (http://victorandchristina.blogspot.com/) at 7:30 am, came home at 9:45 and taught a neighbor how to make pancakes, prepared food for the party, and ran out the door to the 4th of July party with the kids. We actually had a party with some other Americans and folks who simply wanted to get in on a party! I showed up late after teaching from 9am until 3:30 with a run in the middle to help a buddy with his open air crusade in town.



Sunday we were up early again to go to a 'bush-church' visit. Which means it is off the main road. It was fun. The church was planted last year by a student of mine and now he has walked another 1 1/2 hours further into the bush and started another church.

They both came together and it was encouraging to see a 'healthy', young church even if the service was 3.5 hours!. What was especially nice was Cami and the kids went with me (a rarity due to logistics and simply it doesn't make sense to drag the boys to different churches every week!).


Toby loved getting out town. He kept saying how much he wanted to live out there. It was less than an hour into the bush but you feel like you are days away. No electricity, no piped water (we had to drive through their water source! The river)...i think Toby would not like it for very long.

I think Cami is going to post some video of the trip on you tube...stay tuned.

Then after a quick break at home Cami ran into town on the motorbike to film some of the crusade while i prepared some snack, gathered stuff, bathed the boys and got them ready for our "English Fellowship' church Sunday evening. It was a special time of the youth presenting the ten week Sunday school program they had just finished with each kids sharing a little. Then we decided we would go 'out' to eat and stopped by our local shwarma/chicken/pizza dive and had dinner with new friends working with Save the Children in town.

A very good weekend. Bless you all.
