Day Four

Well I am still sick ... I am starting to feel a little better but my nose is still manufacturing mass amounts of produce and my voice sounds like I have swallowed a cheese grater. Ohh well ... what can I do ... I have use up all my sympathy points with Jodi so I have to build a bridge and GET OVER IT. We are still without power and no power for this long means no hot water. Jodi and I boiled a pot of water over a gas bbq and had a bath about 2 inches high. Interesting ...very interesting. Just think, if these things weren't sent to try us I would have nothing to write about in the blogs ... a blessing in disguise.
We traveled into the YFC office today in the middle of Bulawayo and finally got to see what we have been reading about over the last 3 years. We were only in the office for a short time before we headed out to Motopos which is a small rural community about 1 hour out from Bulawayo. There we were able to help with the children's RE program ... Stan you would have been proud, we taught them Dodge Ball. The music and the sermon we could not understand (spoken in Emdabelli) but from the looks of it 3 children raised their hands to find out more about Christ ... praise be to God. It was amazing to hear the children sing, it was just like a well choreographed US movie, they sung in perfect harmony, pitch and beat. It seemed liked nothing could wipe the big wide smiles of these children's faces, not even the fact they had to be at school, it was cold and they did not have any electricity and a majority of the windows were broken allowing water from the rain to produce puddles of water on the cold concrete floor. YWAM Bulawayo have a team place out there for 4 weeks working with the local Presbyterian church and it was fantastic to catch up with them and find out where they are from and what they have been doing.
Tonight we had our first experience of Zim pizza, it was an interesting experience. The Mexican Taco pizza was up there for innovations, it had mince, tomato and even fresh lettuce with salsa and sour cream sauces to put on top. The pizzas were actually quite nice and would give the dominoes and pizza hut pizza's a run for the money.
It was great to blog with you ... until next time !!!
