Today we were able to spend 3.5 hours praising God at Power House. It was so great to be with the people we have come to know and love. Seeing old faces from my first trip in May was great as well. When they asked for the first time visitors to stand Pas. Vincent turned around and said to me you are a member so no need to stand. Oh how I love it.
Yesterday, when I was at Power House I met quite a few children from the neighborhood. They wanted to come and speak to the Americans (which I just love the children so I was in Heaven all day because I got to talk and play with them!)…it was so great to see them this morning as I walked into church. I am telling you after spending 2 years with braces to have perfect teeth and seeing these children with perfect teeth I get incredibly jealous. I tell them about braces and they laugh thinking it is so silly to have metal on your teeth to get them in a straight row.
During the service I was just thinking how incredibly talented Africans are. My good friend Thomas amazes me everytime I see him he is doing something else. He speaks 5 languages, plays the drums, plays the piano, has mad carpentary skills, is smart, funny, a great serving heart, etc. What do I know one language, no musical talent (right Colin), well the list goes on and on...needless to say I am just amazed at how well rounded Africans are compared to Americans (ok it is probably just me). I thought I was fairly diverse in knowledge...but soon coming to realize not so much.
The rest of the day will be spent writing papers and doing work for Dom. U. courses. Yippee! Tomorrow I start my internship so I am looking forward to that.
Please let me know how you are doing. I want to hear all about it.
