I feel like every day is 100 hours long.
I can't believe I have only been here for 4 days... however every day is full of ministry...
In the mornings we have generally been going to a school that is in a slum. As I said before, we have joined a DTS that is on their outreach now, which means we have a bigger team. We do all the standard outreach stuff: songs, games, a craft, etc, but the kids loooove it! Language barriers are always hard and I have basically mastered the art of 'Charades'. :)
In the afternoon we then usually go door-to-door within different slums, praying for people and building relationships. Each day we go to a different area, so it is kinda hard to keep meeting different people every day, instead of meeting up with the same people to see how they are doing, ya know? meh. It's all good.
Another thing that has been awesome and totally un-outreachy is the ridiculously cheap prices on everything.. clothes.. general shopping.. we obviously have not been doing that, at all. O_O.
Yep. Transportation is also always a fun one- Health & Safety go out the window, and the focus is how many people can fit in a car at one time. I have been spending a lot of time on the back of a motor bike, and when times got desperate we squeezed Jonny on the back of it too (No need to worry Mother :) just trying to understand the culture)
The man in the center used to be completely paralysed... until one day our translators came to his house and prayed for him. Since then he has been getting better and he is now able to walk and move around =]
