hello friends,
I miss you all!!!!!! Ok so today was pretty chill, not much to say but i shall try to write a full paragraph :P
Firstly, last night was the girls sleep over at the mission base. Well about 25 came and we played silly games and talked about boys and stayed up 'till about 5 am, however after running around all day doing VBS and sports camp i was exausted and feeling rather sick so i ended up ging to bed early. Then this morning we watched one of the village girls Una get baptised. Woot!!! After that the girls left and the team had the whole mornig to catch up on some sleep. After lunch we re-covered chairs, cleaned the common room in the lodge, cleaned the chappel and did a grounds clean up. I was re-covering chairs. I used a staple gun hee hee heee! Don't worry mum i didnt hurt myself :) This eavening we did some yoga! Dr. Delroy the yoga man, who works at the base on weekends, teaches yoga and he showed us his moves. Kate, Sophie, and my dad all tryed and failed to copy him. But Rachel showed him up and busted some moves of her own! :D Now we are just hanging out and playing some cards. Thats all for now. Miss you all! All my love, Leah <3
Note from the Leaders:
The girls are exhausted after running three days of VBS and Sports Camp, on top of having an all-nighter with the local older girls (10 +). But the sleepover was really a blessing for the girls, to get out of the village and get to just be girls. We are all tired, but moral is good in the group. They are all really excited to go to church tomorrow and also go to drum lesson with an internationally famous drummer, Emmeth, who lives in the village. The group is growing closer every day, as they share the trials and tribulations of the mission field - exhaustion, body oder, dirt, bug bites, and being in a constant state of looking out for others (an attribute we hope they will apply to their daily lives). They are growing and stretching and its amazing to watch! Jesus is amongst them all day long, and they know it and love it and are learning to live it. Keep praying!
