This morning I set my alarm for 7:00 so I could start my day and get ready before church. Well, for some reason my clock is set an hour ahead. So when my alarm went off this morning at what I though was 7:00, it was actually 6:00! I got up showered and got ready. Then the girl that I’m rooming with asked me why I was up at 6:30 and I told her that it was 7:30. Then she informed me that my clock was wrong! Oops! I was able to have a good breakfast and get a really good quite time in though so that was a blessing!
We went to church and when I say church I mean CHURCH! Talk about a body of believers coming together to praise and worship an awesome God! The way Zambians worship is amazing! They dance and sing like no one is watching because they know that the only one who is watching is God. And I know that God is smiling when he sees them worship. Paster Rafael gave a powerful sermon about Abraham. He did an excellent job relating it to our lives. The big question he asked was—Will you sacrifice your Issac for God’s purpose? Wow! That question by itself is so thought provoking and as the Lord continued to speak through him the message turned into a snowball affect! Pastor Rafael reminded all of us that God will provide. When I look around Zambia and see some of the poorest of the poor, these people still have faith that God will provide. I wonder if I would have that sort of faith if I were not blessed with the life I have. I pray that I would!
After church we went to the Arcades (a mini strip mall and market). I spent the afternoon with Omega, Davison, Issac, George, and Innocent along with other summer staffers. Those guys crack me up! They had us laughing the whole time. For 30 minutes they were trying to learn Spanish—I was no help at all! I was able to look around the market and do a little shopping. Then I got on the bus to head back to Mulangushi and had a wonderful conversation with Evans! Evans took me around Garden Hill compound last year when I went to see Mumba. He is such an awesome man of God! He was telling me all about his passion for wanting to become a Pastor!
Came back to Mulangushi and worked on organizing stuff. Had dinner. Did a ministry project. Loaded the truck for tomorrow. Sorted beads. Killed a bunch of mosquitoes.
So, there are three owls outside of our villa. And these are not friendly Chi Omega owls. They don’t hoot—they hiss! And they watch you wherever you go! I’m afraid they are going to swoop down and attack us one night.
Please pray for—Camp to run smoothly tomorrow. The kids to open up and be vulnerable with their counselors.
