Day Five

Today started with a very quick breakfast of toast and Mitch and Cindy had some scrambled eggs – Connie had something called “Vevetta’ – I had toast!!!! That was at 7:15 am – we ate again at 3:45 pm in between our sessions – we ate a pizza at Crown Bakery. Then we went quickly to the African market and saw my friend Mohammed who fixed up Connie – Cindy – Mitch with some things to bring home – they did the choosing – I did the negotiation – it went well – then on to Priscilla Street tonight for the session. Connie and Cindy taught the school children in two different settings – 3 yrs to 5 yrs of which they had about 50 of those – then about 25 or so of the 8 years to 12 year olds. The children are really taking to the teaching of Connie and Cindy – when they went down to start teaching the younger children about 8:30 am I had about a 20 minute class with older ones before we left for the hall to start our teaching session. The day progressed quickly and we adjusted our lessons to meet needs of the folks here. We decided to have them not pass out the question cards until after our lessons. That helped the quality of the questions and moved our studies on so we could address the needs. During the night session we had a young lady who came to the day session come tonight. Her name is Mary Dorcus Marion – she was interested and talked with Christian – then she was baptized! So far the baptismal pool has been used for four burials and resurrections – to God be the glory! Connie and Cindy are troopers! They have had to adjust to many different things and they just keep moving forward. Mitch is a seasoned warrior! He laid down a lesson on the church at Colossae tonight and applied it to Priscilla Street – he was bold and powerful and they got what he was saying. Tomorrow – we do it all over again! God is good! All the time! Today was not an exception!
