Today we woke up to more rain, however, this did not seem to dampen the spirits of either the English students or our team- Breakfast was a real surprise, FISH and RICE! Charlie ate lots of bread...
After our morning class we played board games, made special cards (that we cannot wait to show you all!) and several of the guys hiked down to the waterfalls again. They were curious to see what they looked like after the rain.
I find that the students are certainly more at ease with our team members now and we have lots of fun talking and learning together. It amazes me to see how eager they are to learn to speak English.
The house where the adults are staying has no hot water again. We are hoping that it can get fixed soon because we are all pretty muddy from the rain. Thank goodness most of us brought at least on long sleeved shirt! wqe need them today as it is quite coool. After lunch and afternoon English class we hiked up to a small zoo. The hike was very muddy but fun for all.
Back to the water situation, as of now there is no water anywhere in the village! The tremendous rain storms have flooded the water supply house and no one has water. The bathroom situation should be interesting, not to mention our muddy bodies. This has not dampened anyone's spirits. Our team has no WHINERS!!! Yea Grace Team!
Supper time was a new dish to us- it resembled cheese grits and it was really good. After a team meetings we all met for worship. Pastor Meredith is doing such a great job with her sermons and Rhys is doing super time leading us in songs! Looking forward to another wonderful day of sharing God's love with each other!

ReplyDeleteOh, my . . . had to laugh about the fish and rice breakfast but feel bad for you about the water. Hey, you all we made it through Snowzilla, I'm sure you'll make it through this! Yeah Team Grace for no whining!!!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the updates and look forward to them. Much love to you all and a special hug for my Big Guy!
Hmm -- no water? Trouble with toliets? You probably needed my portable toliet -- never travel without it! I'm proud that there are no whiners -- I'm not sure I would have been whining, but I might have been trying to gather water in buckets to flush those toliets! Thanks for letting us know that Rhys is having fun leading the singing and of course we know how lucky anyone is to hear Meredith's sermons! We're very blessed at Grace to one of the top preachers in the conference and I know the Ukrainian students are enjoying that blessing as well. Love to you all -- hang in there, stay dry and gather that rain water! Special hugs to Rhys -- they've diagnosed Peyton's disorder and it is not serious! Working on getting him well.
