lovin it

This is a pic of part of Harvesters compound.  This building is the kitchen where the kids all eat.  Usually they eat something called posho which is sort of like bread with a playdough consistency, and beans.  This at least shows a little of the landscape. 

Update on the work on the Perry's house.  We have now finished running all of the electrical wiring!  Ha!  Much less labor intensive than tiling and much more fun, in my opinion.  We hooked it up to the breaker box today and started flipping some light switches to see if they worked and they all did! It was funny because we had like 4 lights that didn't work at first, so we switched them out with lights that were working, and then we tested again and every light worked! 

Yesterday Ben went out with Dawa to a cell group with 60 kids that stuff into a tukel (mud hut) to hear a story about Jesus and sing some songs.  He taught them about Jesus calming the storm.  They have like ~9 cell groups that go out each week.  Most of the leaders are roughly high school age, but some of them are even younger, like Mangar, a 12 year old!  I'm just going to throw this one out there...but I feel like the American church needs to offer younger people more ways to lead.

I'll try to upload better pics of kids soon (I know I keep saying this).  Tonight we had the weekly prayer meeting with all the older kids.  Always a good time.  Tomorrow is church, day of rest / playing with little kids. 

Pray for me and Ben to be used by God to make a difference in the older guys lives that we are meeting with every week.  Overall there are roughly 10 guys in high school and we really want to make a lasting impact on them.  Only God can do this.  No human effort will make them look more like Jesus. 

But we love it here.  Harvesters is a great place.  I want all my friends to be here lol.

Peace,
