Sunday morning several more women were able to attend services because they had finished their harvest of rice in the fields. This is a good thing, they have food and produce to sell. What makes me really sad about this season ending is, so is the finish of fresh pineapple. Boo Hoo! The pineapple is so very good here. I mean never before, pre-Africa did I ever have pineapple this delicious!
The baptism class has grown too! They recited their verse for today James 4:8. This makes my heart beam like a proud Momma. We are up to 4 now attending class and I told Molbino that next week i wanted a few minutes to speak and encourage other's to come to class and learn more about what God has to say to us. Before Val and I left in the morning I pondered the thought of taking cookies to those who had gone to class and remembered that probably more than not, had anything to eat yet. Probably since the day before at lunch. It just didn't seem right to take cookies and give them to only the one's who came to class when many of the children, I knew had not had anything.
Zito was home today with his 3 year old Robinson (Robson) who has malaria. Usually when one person in a household gets malaria, it just seems to go around and round. Especially when you live in a small house and there are no nets to protect you and others from you when you are sick.
Next week I am going to start to introduce you to each of the men and women in leadership.
Here are the prayer requests for the week:
Robinson - has malaria
Cipriano - has body aches
Victorino - a visitor not feeling well
Domingo -his knees were aching
Leopoindia - for safe travel
Have a great week friends. I have found some great quotes from Mother Theresa and have been sharing them. Enjoy one of my favorites.
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Mother Teresa
