What a great day. Our first bus ride this morning opened our eyes to the people's City, few tourist here so we were able to see people moving around in there natural surroundings. Our first stop was a private school. we helped with some small tasks for teachers around the building and began meeting students. Just before school ended we joined the junior and senior high students for their weekly chapel. Their students led the music part of worship, then Btittany shared her testimony and Andrew led a devotion.
Later we crossed the river and attended a youth group. Many students from the school attend this group and we rode the bus together. This gave opportunity for small conversations with the students learning more about their lives and The City.
Youth group began with a dinner then after hanging out a study together. More time to connect, we will see many of these students again Saturday night. We walked down a very steep hill to the ferry which brought us back across the river. We ended our night in a local cafe.
The group is learning about the City and its people, connecting well with one another and the new friends we are meeting. Good spirits inspite of a long day which included a lot of walking in a light rain. Everyone is eating well and another night's rest will go along way. We enjoyed reading your comments tonight during our debrief time.
Tomorrow we will be tourists a portion of the day visiting the wonderful sights of the City. More soon.
