Day 3

Last night, they tried to show a DVD video on the Book of Acts. Unfortunately the DVD drive was broken on the computer. Alex worked on it some today, but was unable to fix it. Who would have thought that they would be working on a computer in the middle of Africa. So instead of watching it that way, Mike worked on making it into a play. So tonight they acted out the first 3 chapters of Acts and had it translated. There were approximately 250 people that came from other villages to watch.

Today they made another 145 bricks, making a total of 176 bricks. They had made 96 before breaking for lunch. They had to drive 10 km to the river to get sand. Unfortnately the Landrover broke down along the way. They had to weld the tie rod in order to fix it. Now, the Landrover works, but the welder is broken.


Tonight they celebrated Mike's birthday by having S'mores.

Tomorrow they plan to make follow up home visits to some of the 15 people that were saved on Sunday. The villagers got chickens for tomorrow nights dinner. They are working on getting a cow to have for when the Chief comes to visit. It will be a huge celebration when he comes, as he doesn't visit very often.
