The Last Days

Hi Everyone,
This week-end has been great. On Friday, we went swimming at Novetell, this nice hotel. It was nice and we let Levi swim for the first time in the baby pool. He loved it. Later, we went to SOS orphanage to teach songs and games to the children. They forgot we were coming and we had to wait an hour. Then, they told us the children were to busy. We had to wait because Christy was not suppose to pick us up for another hour. We ended up playing basketball with the teenagers. It was tons of fun even though I am very bad at basketball. I told a one of my team members "I am sorry. I am really bad at basketball." He saids, "Yeah, I know!" On Saturday, we went to the soccer camp again. This time we actually got to work with the children playing soccer. We passed the ball to them and did some re-lay races. We gave the devo on how we should look to Jesus as the perfect example. It went really well. In the afternoon, we went swimming again at Brian's secretary house. She has daughters our age so that was fun. On Sunday, we went to a low-income church, one that would most resemble a village church. It was all in Kenya-Rwandan but someone came to translate for us. The worship service lasted 2 1/2 hours. There was a praise choir and crazy back ground music. Before the lesson, the preacher got up and gave scriptures. The congregation would then have to guess where it was from. The preacher also did this with people from the Bible. Right before the lesson, all the children came in to sing a song. Then, the praise choir sang another song. It got alittle crazy. People were dancing down the aisles. It was an interesting experience. We just relaxed Sunday afternoon. Today, we are giving tests to children at Brian's school. Later in the afternoon, we are suppose to go to SOS orphanage to try to teach the kids songs. Hopefully, this time they will remember we are coming. Either Tuesday or Wednesday we are suppose to go out in the village. I am really excited about this. We will prepare the village for an incoming mission team. To let y'all know, this will be my last blog. The internet has been out at Brian and Christy's for a week now. I leave Thursday night and should be back in Amarillo Friday around 11 p.m. Please pray all my flights are on time! If one is delayed I will miss my flight to Amarillo and have to spend the night in Dallas with Brian and Christy. This would not be bad but I just want to get home without having to spend the night and fly out again on Saturday. So please pray all goes well with our flights. Also pray God works through us to impact people. That God's light shines through and people can see Him through us. Thank you so much for all your support and prayers. It really means alot. I can't wait to get back and tell of all my adventures! I will be home Friday!!! See you then- In Him- Whitney
