Well today was a great day. I accidentally overslept, which
really just means I didn’t wake up at 5:00, someone else’s alarm went off at
5:45 so we all got up then and caught the actual sunrise and had a short quiet
time. I am going through Ephesians right now, it has been super powerful to me.
Especially in chapter 4 verse 13 through 16. I think next year (2015) I am going
to memorize the book of Ephesians. Today was another work day. I started out
with Russie out in the field taking down a fence on the corner of the property
about 6 posts to allow for an Indian farm who owns about an acre between that
part of the creek and the oasis farm. He has decided that he is going to plant
some vegetables there, so we were making space for him to get through, after
that we re place new posts and reset the barbed wire. Then we took a short break before going out into the papaya
fields to clean things up. All of the holes had been filled with fertilizer and
we just picked up the fruit that had fallen and branches that had died. We move
them out to prevent insects and mongoose from disturbing the healthy parts of
the tree. Then I went over to the other side of the farm house to help with the
chicken coop. All of the bases have been set and today we finished most of the
frame. After that we had lunch and rested for a little bit before going out to
run kids club projects. It was really fun, we played some games with the kids.
Duck duck goose, freeze tag, telephone, capture the shoe (capture the flag)
then we told Bible stories and acted them out. We did jonah, noah, david and
goliath, Jesus walks on water, and Jesus feeds the 5,000. Then at the end the
kids did a short song and dance for us that they had learned at church, we the
got back for dinner. I sat a talked to Salah for a while then ate the most
normal food yet. Sloppy Joes essentially. They had a few bones that you had to
make sure not to bite into too hard, but it was good. Then I got in my hammock
for a few minutes before the bugs all came out. Then Lydia and I went in the
farm house and played a little guitar talk to salah and flora and her two kids.
Josh came and played the guitar for a little while too. Then we went back to
our rooms I took a shower and started typing this while visiting with the boys.
All in all a good day.
