Day 75

I went to Bomani’s church service today to see the children sing the songs we learned during Super Saturday. They performed very well. It was so cute watching them sing the songs! They were happy to do it. When the children finished they came outside for a group picture. Then we all went back in for the rest of the service.

I really enjoyed the service. A new speaker came in to preach today. His topic was worry. God teaches us to not worry about what we will wear or eat and so on because life is more important than food and clothing. He will provide for our needs. He used an analogy of driving in a matatu. He said when you get into a matatu, you don’t worry, you just rest and enjoy the ride. If you trust a matatu driver, then why don’t you trust God? We should enjoy our lives and rest in Him knowing that he will provide for us and care for us. When we worry about those things, our attention gets put on them instead of where it should be which is on a friendship with God.
After service some of the children and I went to Emily’s house. Emily lives in the staffing houses that Fox River Church provided for some of the teachers. We went in her house and sat down. We played games, talked, goofed around and watched TV. In the mean time, Emily cooked food for me and popcorn for the children.

After some time of hanging out, we decided to go for a walk in the village. Mbeyu wanted to purchase some potatoes for her and her friends. It was fun walking around with them.
Today has been one of my favorite days. Just hanging out with the kids is so much fun. I am especially fond of Mbeyu. She is the sweetest girl!
