With another early start, we depart for the church site one more time.
Though our start is a bit late in the morning, we make good progress.
People are helpful and happy and there is a sense of excitement in the air.
Not a single piece of steel is missing and we complete the church.
A guy looked for parts to fix the vehicle, but did not find any. We
wonder if we will have to go back on public transport.
In the evening, adults and children gather together sing several songs.
There is a speech or two, thanking God for the donors and for the gift
of this new church.
After our baths, they feed us a meal of rice and black-eyed peas. Peanut
oil and sugar were the two provided condiments. Sweet beans are actually
pretty good.
It is night now, but the prospective Bible students for our Bible school
want to have a meeting with me. I answer their many questions as best as
I can and tell them to keep in touch.
We are all grateful to God for bringing us this far and for allowing us
to be successful in constructing the church. We do not know how we will
make it home tomorrow, but we go to sleep and leave that decision for
tomorrow.
