Our time in South Sudan is drawing to a close with one week left. It's sad to be leaving such a wonderful place with so much need.
This is a random picture of the landscape. They have these volcanic plugs that are scattered around.
This is Angelo on the seesaw. We have a lot of stories of Angelo, he's a trip. Me and Ben are actually planning on fixing the broken seesaw this week!
This is the birthday party they had for July kids. Most of the kids here don't know exactly how old they are. Some don't know what year they were born, most don't know the month. So they have a birthday party every month at Harvesters. It's funny because people that sponsor these kids from churches back in the states always want to know the birthday, but they pretty much have to make one up for them. No birth certificate.
This is a picture of church in Yei. We have always enjoyed church but probably our favorite time has been the weekly prayer meeting that happens on Saturday. It really just seems to be a true time of worship of God and connection with him. Also, after worshiping, we get into groups and read pieces of paper that Pushani prints off with different prayer needs. It's been fun praying for the nations and the local body with the orphans.
As far as work goes, Pastor Dennis and Mamma Lilly headed back to the states last week so we have spent a lot more of our time chilling out recently. Its been good to work at a slower pace, and read a lot. With our week left we are still going to be working some on the Perry's house, and lead 3 discipleship groups. Continue to pray for these groups and our relationship with the guys here. We desire for the time we spend here to glorify God and recognize that we are powerless on our own.
When I think on the relationships that we've formed with all the kids, it makes me pretty sad to know that we will leave them soon, as so many before have.
