our first day was not very eventful for there was Funeral on that day, we were placed in different homes in pairs. well for me personal the biggest challenge has been the food its so funky that the one thing i have known is Rice,
we have spent our time working in the fields, ploughing soy beans, and its been hard work for we don't know the local language and the people don't speak English. besides that's we have had a kids programme where where we play games with the kids and then tell a story from the bible and the theme has been "intimacy with the father" i am not sure of how the parents are taking our presence here especially with the kids, for most of them think we are just here to learn how to work hard and every form of hard work has been given to us, its still okay but waking up has been an adventure, muscles sore back pain i think that's a deadly combination. and it can make one moan about the whole Target of being in the village in the first place. which is to Show the local people Gods Love through our actions and Worship.
Israel my room mate and I have served in the house, Chopping wood and assisting in whatever we can do, its all been Fun but for me personally the biggest challenge or obstacle is still time. I have small time with the Lord on my own since being in this Village, with hands that's have blisters and a sore back from hard work at the fields, i have used most of my free time soaking my self on my matters and that's been going well no mosquito bites from that one yet,
this place has a Buddhist temple right at the entrance, and it has got this huge shining pagoda i hope that's the right spelling for it,
Prayer request :
- Positive spirit within the team and individually.
- Team unity, some times we get agitated over the smallest things.
