We are half way done with our missions trip and it seems like we've only begun. Today is Sunday, so we have had a day off from building the church and actually were able to participate in their first church services in the building. Even though it is not completed, the site was cleaned up and chairs brought in. We had a great turn out with lots of children who showed up to hear the bible stories. Afterwards, the children's service was followed by their normal church service, which lasted 3 1/2 hours. No complaints from us though, because we throughly enjoyed the opportunity to worship with them. After the services we greeted each other with their special handshake which I think may catch on back in Blue Springs.
Our hosts have been absolutely wonderful and just in case you were wondering, we haven't eaten any bugs. We have had a traditional African meal which was similar to what would be served as a wedding feast or at a funeral. Needless to save, even in Africa we've been spoiled.
