Day 5

we finished sorting all of the donated clothing and supplies this morning. we have already met people that needed this clothing and have already given out some sweaters as it is 65 - 70 degrees during the day and the africans are cold! We went on to the feeding station and gave out toothbrushes and toothpaste after their meal. During the bible story time the students acted out Noah's Ark and then demonstrated how to use the toothbrush and toothpaste. Once the children were through with their meals they received their toothbrush and toothpaste and ran home in excitement. We later saw them smiling and yelling at us "I brushed teeth, I brushed teeth". We then went to the church where some of us played 'net ball' and Nathan amused them with a card trick. The children did not want us to leave when it was time for us to go, however, we needed to prepare for the youth group meeting. The youth group time was funfilled with songs, praises and dancing!!! After introductions and a prayer we each gave our testimony and Paige gave a devotion, all of which were fantabulous! The night ended with a closing prayer by Nathan and hugs from the participants. We learned today that although we are getting more sleep than normal, we are exhausted. Why? Because investing in people is exhausting!
