Hello from Ebenezer
Hello everyone. Today is our last day at the Hosanna House. We will miss all of the new friends we have made.
Today was very hot & humid. Kenny , Larry & Holly took some of the kids to the river to swim. Everyone reports having a great time. They were caught in a downpour before they got home.
There were a crew of workers preparing a volleyball court today. The downpour turned their worksite into a pond. Red clay mud is everywhere.
We started the day with sewing projects, refurbishing the drapes from Hosanna House. Grace is our resident seamstress and whips up projects like a pro. She made several table coverings for the tables in the new lounge area of the teams quarters.
Grace has cooked for the team all week. We probably all gained several pounds. Her monster cookies and butter pecan cake are to die for!!!!
Kenny & Larry spent time with Bob getting lumber and helping out where ever they were needed. They have truly been handymen this week.
Both tonight & last night we played games with the children. They had a great time. It's fun to watch their faces as they play now you have it now you don't. Everyone always ends up with something.
Devotions tonight were special. Many of the children prayed. It was very touching to hear their prayers.
Victoria gave me a traditional hair style. She did a great job. I look like I belong here.
Holly's hair was done by Sheflora. She looks cool with all her braids and beads.
Well we leave early tomorrow and there is still packing to be done. I'll add pictures for the team when I get to the States and have my USB cable for my camera.
IT'S BEEN A BLAST!!!!!!!!
