Today we went into the village and did a kids club. All the kids are really cute and they love playing games. Later in the day we did an eye clinic for the kids and were able to give several of them eye glasses. Overall I think the eye clinic went really well. The plan is to do a clinic for the adults tomorrow. Please pray that we'll be able to help the people who need glasses. It was a good today (and it finally rained:)

During the kids club it felt like a little bit of a rough start. The kids were still fairly shy and it is still difficult to communicate. Later in the day though, Morgan was able to connect with them and she was able to get them to enthusiastically sing the songs that we were struggling to teach them. The majority of the group did some manual labor, hauling rocks down a cliff, which was a little difficult because we felt that the villagers were not communicating with each other so we were getting mixed directions, but we managed to get all of the work done. There were some ups and downs but it was all enjoyable because of the One that we did the work for.

From General Alexander Strauch of the heavenly forces:
ReplyDeleteDear soldiers of Christ,
It is good to know you are pressing forward in the battle. The enemy is fierce. He hates every word you speak, and every good deed you do. He will stop at nothing to ruin the good you do.
So, press forward hard. Push back the darkness. Spread the light. Be soldiers of Christ. Don't be afraid. Be courageous. Think before you act. Work as a team, as if you are one person. Smile a lot.
