It feels like it has become a routine... As if we've been doing this for awhile...
Wake up at 6 AM, breakfast at 7 AM, off to the construction site by 7:30 AM, worship time at 8:00AM... actually, not today - Theovision decided to have an internal devotional today... So we went straight to work.
More veil has come down all right. People where expecting us this morning almost as their crew members.
Abeniazer and Rachid have openned up a lot today. John is making friends among the concrete workers - they even asked him for his phone number: "Do you text, John?" Mike and Nate ended up arm wrestling with a few crew members. When Nate won a game, a loud cheer erupted in the whole compound. People were able to integrate more today and find nitches where they can plug in better and communciate better with the locals.
We got concrete in this afternoon and some of us helped carrying the wheelbarrows to the pool located next to the building.
A great day overall. "See you tomorrow !!" waved the crew . We're part of the team now. It will be hard on Friday - we're making so many friends.
Today was also cloths washing day, but this is Ghana (we were told...) and the power went out. Kristin voluntiered to finish the job overnight (how gracefull - thank you, Kristin !!).
Right before dinner, the rain came down... Not pouring down like around the tropics, but steady, straight, quiet, and beautiful. We all wished we weren't dressed up so we can get soaked after four days of oven hot sun.
We had a great Chinese dinner at a local Chinese-Indian restaurant together with the leadership (global and local) of HCJB. The Chinese food was great and it was amplified by the Indian music in the background. Asia seems so far from here, with all countries in the same bucket. The waiters where Ghanean, but dressed Chinese... kinda cute...
Tomorrow's a special day: the president of HCJB will help us with construction work and Jeremy (local HCJB missionary) will pick up his fiancee Jessica from the airport who's coming from HCJB in Malawi to plan their wedding. Jeremy's parents, Steve and Cindy, from Indiana are vising and they are very eager to meet their future daughter... We've been teasing Jeremy around the whole day with this.
Dear heavenly Father, thank you so much for such a great day - thank you for opening veils continuously and allowing us to share your love with these people. Please help us find opportunities to witness before we leave on Friday. We are realying in your mercy and grace again tomorrow as we're getting ready to be amaized again by your beauty. In the Lord's Jesus name we pray - Amen.
