Today, we went to church here in Xai-Xai. It was a gathering of the districts in
Xai-Xai, so there were several hundred people in the new church located at the
Wesleyan College. We each had a chance
to introduce ourselves and while Todd was speaking about his family, the
translator mis-spoke and stated to the congregation that he was married to 2
wives and had 1 son. It brought laughter
in the church that could most likely be heard around town. Daniel remarked after the service that during
the “open prayer” part of the service, he had seldom (if ever) felt the
presence of the Holy Spirit like he had.
After church the team was treated to a lunch at a local restaurant that
overlooked the Indian Ocean. We all enjoyed some of the finest food we’d ever
eaten. An unexpected treat was the pair of kitten cervils (miniature cheetahs)
that the owner was trying to domesticate. We followed up lunch with a trip to
the beach where Ellyce, Daniel and Todd swam, Christian, Logan and Danni
explored the surf, and George enjoyed some time with the dogs back at the
Lehman’s. For dinner, we went to Jason and Rachel’s for sandwiches, popcorn,
and laughs about the day we had just experienced.
Love,
George,
Logan, Ellyce, Danni, Todd, Chris, and Daniel
