Day Six

What a day! Toast and peanut butter to start. Our driver did not show up for work. The replacement driver did not know how to get to Priscilla Street and got lost! It was “Red Day” which meant it was a day for all the supporters of the present president to wear red and shout and blow whistles and pile on top of anything that moved and go up and down the streets yelling and screaming and playing loud music and act crazy! We finally arrived at Priscilla Street (I might as well of driven – I knew the way better than the driver did!) Connie and Cindy started the teaching of the children and I taught a short class of 15 minutes to the older children before going over to the hall for the adult teaching. Connie and Cindy continue to mesmerize the children as they teach them new things from the Bible. Also, they are teaching the teachers new things about the Bible. You know what is amazing? The children are soaking it in and remembering the things being taught – they even come to Mitch and I and tell us what they have learned – to all who helped to send the ladies over here – thank you!!!! Mitch and I spent almost 4 hours in intense question and answer session about who is a true Christian – the work of an evangelist – the work of an elder – how to remove the divisive brother or sister – how to show brotherly love – and on and on – we did not plan to do this but we had such a great group of hearts in the study we decided to let the questions determine our study – it was one of the best studies that I have been a part of over here in S L. During our study of who is a true Christian – a young man by the name of Johnathan Samura wanted to be baptized – Christian and Theophilus knew him and Christian and Taejohn took him and baptized him. At the end of the studies we were ready to go get something to eat – however we did not have a driver – he had a flat tire and was about 45 minutes late in getting to us –then there was so much confusion due to the political rallies that it was best for us to try and get back to the hotel – then the political rallye was growing and all were going to the national stadium (which Priscilla Street is only about 1 mile from) so the president could speak to them. Christian and Theophilus thought it best that we did not come back to Priscilla Street tonight due to the political rally. On our way back to the hotel we were amazed at how many people were out for the rally – when we got back to the hotel we were very hungry – all we had eaten was a piece of toast – that was 9 hours prior! The restaurant did not have very much food – so we ordered a type of chicken that when it came it was so spicy hot that Mitch could not eat it – Connie did not want it – Cindy and I ate part of it – so we had another piece of toast and portion of French fries! Tomorrow there is no political rally – back to our normal schedule – YEA!!!! What a day! Yet, God is good! All the time! Today was another example of His goodness!
