so, a dog peed on me the other day while i was inviting this guy to church. that was kinda fun. the dog's owner didnt seem to care either and my friend lauren just watched it happen and laughed without telling me. oh, the adventures of africa.
well, i'm still in botswana, but i'm in the capital city now which is called gaberone. things are going excellent so far and the response in the schools have been great. the greatest part for us though, is to be able to ignite a passion within the local church and that has definitely happened here. we trained some of the young adults of the church in one of our presentations and they did it themselves yesterday in a school. it was a very serious drama about a girl who has gone through the worst day ever, realizing that her boyfriend dated her only for sex and that she might now have HIV. one of her friends also disowns her, her dad kicks her out of the house and another friend offers drugs to solve her problems. pretty rough day. but this is what these kids are going through all the time. the drama went great, and some kids actually came up to me and asked me to pray for them afterwards.
i wish i could write a lot more in detail, but i cant right now. our days have been full and tiresome, but very rewarding. kids are constantly hanging all over me and i love to love on them. the kingdom of heaven belongs to those like them, and i get to learn from them and see jesus all over their faces.
we have a couple days off after today, and we are going to head to victoria falls!! pray that we'll have a safe trip and a relaxing sabbath.
thanks so much for the prayers and the emails. i read them all even though i cant always reply.
