Going to the park again

This morning we woke up again at 6:30 am, ya I know mom and dad I got up that early! We had a great breakfast which consisted of bread and jam again. We had another church service this morning where Kaitlyn shared her testimony for the ladies. I think its really cool how the ladies here are so on fire for God and how they sing their hearts out for God and then we stand in the back trying to sing along to another language. Last night we dedicated all the children in Atek and prayed over the kids and their moms and it was powerful to see how much dedicating their kids meant to them. Today we tried a spiritual time with God for half an hour after the service and it was a really nice to have that time with God. Everyone was feeling pretty tired and drained this morning and after our time with God most of us felt more energized. Kyle has been taking videos of us all day to put in the church slideshow while some of the team cleaned the 3rd floor for another team to stay there tomorrow for 3 days while group 2 goes off to the village. The rest of the team got ready for the next village trip, and played with the kids. The kids are getting really friendly, maybe a little too friendly. Every time they see us they hang off of us and wont let go to the point where we have to lock the door of our rooms so they don't come in, but they are super cute. We play a lot of soccer with the kids but every time we do someone (Seth) gets its stuck on top of a tarp and we have to spend the majority of the time playing soccer actually trying the ball down. Later we took the kids to the park again which they love and we spent a few hours there making sure the kids don't fall of the teeter-totter again. After the park the team went to go to the market to get snacks for group 2 for the village but it just randomly closed down so we went down the road and bought a cake for the team which was amazing and hopefully satisfies our North American food cravings everyone is having. We had fried chicken for dinner which everyone was pretty stocked it wasn't bread or soup again. After dinner I gave my testimony which I was freaking out about all week and I was the last to go but I finally did it and I'm doing it for the ladies tomorrow morning as well. We had team time again tonight and prayed for everyone who is under the weather which is a majority of the team with just a cold to a slight fever. Today was a pretty chill day and we just got ready for group 2 to go to the village from Tuesday to Thursday. So pray that they have a safe travel and a good time there and that they don't have to play what part of the animal they're eating in their soup. I miss you mom and dad i'll see you Sunday :) and good luck on you're baseball tournament this weekend as well Cole. Todays guess who: guess who sleeps with cough drops in her hair..? The answer to yesterdays guess who is Spencer. The story behind it is a joke that Brianna gave Spencer peppermint oil to rub on his tummy in the village to help him feel better when he was sick and he thought it was the weirdest thing. -Stephanie :)

  1. From Celine, I am really enjoying the blogs everyone is posting! You know how much I enjoy hearing about all the details Stephanie! That is great that the kids have taken so well to you all, and how the moms are really on fire for the Lord. I'm sure you did and will do fine giving your testimony. Thats too bad that so many are under the weather, we will pray for that specifically and safety as you asked! So no bread and soup when you get home you're saying, ha, ha :) have a great day tomorrow!
