Morning all, its been a really busy few days but great fun! This week we have been telling the story of Moses which has involved some dressing up and multiple tea-towels! The kids seem to listen much better if we dress up to tell the story so we may do more of that in the future! It has also allowed us to clearly give the gospel message to them all and around 80 children heard it yesterday and hopefully the same today!
I have almost finished making 5 sets of the armour of God from old cardboard boxes which has been a challenge. We really hope that this will provide entertainment and good substance when it comes to the holiday club schedule that will run throughout the world cup.
I must tell you about yesterday morning, where Mzo and I had around 2 hours together which was great. Everyday at club we give the children a sandwich, an apple and an orange. In order to have around 100 sandwiches ready for the end of club, we give the bread and the poloni to the lady who makes them the day before they are needed. However, we forgot to give her any bread on tuesday. So.....Mzo suddenly announced that we needed to rush to Redhill as Eugenia (the lady) was stressed that she wouldn't have enough time, so I asked the transport manager if he had a car spare. Turns out he did, but only a buckie, pickup truck to you and me. So I drove with Mzo to the supermarket and loaded this massive truck up with 14 loaves of bread (Mzo is loading the 'heavy' bread into the truck). Twas rather funny and a good time together. Photos are attached and on picasa soon too.
Working here is a great blessing and I am really enjoying it, feel very settled in and enjoying the lifestyle and culture too. I was given a xhosa Bible yesterday which was very kind of Nolo, one of the staff here, and am trying to read and speak it!
That's plenty for you all now, happy reading.
