Form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one spirit."
Today we visited the ministry house on the way to the Bulabondi school. We were all measured
By Patrick, (Girls and Josh for skirts and Glen and I for a shirt.) just kidding Josh! Jamie told me to say that! Patrick doubles as a tailor and we wanted to bless his business.
We learned how to roll the signature paper beads used in their headbands and purses. Paige shared her jewelry making skills and showed them how to make beaded necklaces.
After that we were off to the school. As we pulled in to our usual spot under the shade tree we found Glenn's student Richard proudly teaching several other men interested in the art of guitar strumming. Funny thing is he only learned the chords the day before and must have stayed up all night studying. Later on we heard him strumming chords right along with Glenn. Really made my heart warm. Glenn is so awesome with the kids. It is a joy being around the packed house whenever he breaks out the guitar. Smiles abound!
Josh and I along with Chimba, pastor Stephen and some other men from the school finished the Teacher desk and stool project. Also used some of the accumulated parts and pieces of used desks to make some shelves for the clinic and nurses quarters at Kokombo. Loaded them up and headed for Kokombo! Team, pastors, chickens and all! Yes I said chickens! You have always heard about that person who rides a bus in a foreign country and a person gets on with their chicken in hand and sit right next to you. This time it was actually us with the chickens!
We had a great ride home but were diverted to Chimba's house for a snack stop! He had his wife prepare us a couple of bowls of Jack Fruit. According to Josh it is the new super food! Very tasty, a cross between pineapple and papaya only a more rubbery texture.
It was a pleasure watching the team spread their love around today. This is a special group with many different talents. It is really fun to see how God is knitting us together!
Until we see you all again!
Via con Dios!
