Yeh so, for the second time, it's Dan, your beloved! (and wow, literally just as I was writing that the mice/rats tried to kill each other...... who needs mousetraps when you can breed anger between the things!)
So, quite frighteningly the pastor of the church I was to preach at only arrived 5 minutes late! Totally scared, totally not prepared, just so...... argh!
Got to the Church and after waiting about an hour, people started turning up. I won't go through the whole of church as it was quite long, but all in all my preaching went well I think! YAY! No one left anyway so it couldn't have been that bad!
Caught the public transport back to base, wow, now thats something...... All you people who think the underground is bad check this out, at least the underground isn't likely to crash into another train, wall, person, bike, dog, goat etc... Its actually amazing how many people you can pack inside these things..... and sardines think THEY have it bad!
At about 1530 we were supposed to be going out to Dondo for a "feast", Pastor Bongo arrived at 1550, which to be honest, was a pretty good effort for him! I'm kinda hoping they don't adjust to English timings just for me though, as i'm definitely enjoying the lazy ol' laid back style of an African!
Ok, so, got to Dondo after stopping to check out some land Samao had just bought, turns out the "feast" is a birthday party for 3 of the kids!
As you can see, pictures of the three kids, and their names up on the wall, everyone had a good time, pretty awesome cake!Sadly some bad news too, which can be turned into good news I'm sure, a little girl was taken to the hospital as she was very ill, don't know her name or whats wrong with her but please pray! Williams also not doing too great, so prayer for him would be appreciated too!
Ok, well as far as I know thats it...... no noise coming from the mice/rats....... they've started being far too cute recently..... not good!
