Today we had a fantastic breakfast at our hotel followed by a good “devo” with the whole team. We spent most of the day traveling to the city where we will be spending most of our time.
The team piled into two buses and traveled about three and a half hours to the city. We got the full driving experience today including how it is every man for himself on the road, lack of a correct side of the road to drive on, cows having the right of way, and a nice little t-bone accident. The accident wasn’t bad at all and our bus driver negotiated for about a minute before getting back in the bus and continuing the trip. Our guide informed us how most car accidents involve some talking, possibly some exchanged money, and of course no need to notify All-State. It was beautiful to see the countryside during the drive and get to know our teammates a little better.
We checked-in at our hotel and we’re thankful that our rooms have air-conditioning and indoor plumbing. Tomorrow we will go into the near by villages to begin working. Our leader told us about the status of the work they are doing here and we are all excited to be a part of it.
Please pray that we stay safe in the villages and for good health. Pray that we are able to communicate clearly through our translators and that the Father gives us the words to speak.
P.S. Jason Bourne (aka Dave) wanted us to share this photo illustrating how he annihilated Jonathan and Ru in a game of bowling on the plane.
