This morning, I woke up at 6:15. After waking up, I read my Bible and got ready to go out with Prince to gather the kids for the bus route. We were able to get nine kids from the village to church. This is the first time we have had to take two taxis because of the number of kids!!!

Preserving the Legacy of Faithful Missionaries

The Missionary on Fire podcast features interviews with veteran missionaries, classic sermons from the field, and stories of God’s faithfulness across generations. If you love the heart behind these stories, you will love the podcast. New episodes regularly.

We had good services. I taught about Noah in the junior church class. After the service, Prince and I were able to get everyone home safely. I then walked back to the house from the village. Once back at the house, I changed out of my sweaty clothes, then hung out my clothes I had washed. Once the Ruckmans got to the house, we had lunch. Then I went up to my room to get in a little rest while my clothes were drying. I was able to get about a 20 or 30 minute nap in before I needed to get my clothes off the line. After folding my clothes, I decided I would try to sleep again, but apparently the 30-minute nap was all I needed.

For our evening service, we attended Pastor Prince’s church. It was a blessing to get to have a part in being a blessing to his church. We had a really good service and time of fellowship before we all had to part ways for the evening. After dropping Sammy and Annette off at their house, we headed back to ours for some supper. Unfortunately, the power is off and has been off since around 6:00 P.M.; so, Bro. Ruckman got the generator started up so that we could eat supper and get showers.

We all had leftovers for supper. After supper, I was going to head up to my room to take a shower, but a part of our water pump’s filter system broke because of the high pressure the generator causes; so, we weren’t able to take showers. Instead, I took a bucket bath. After getting cleaned up, I did my exercises, and I am now about to go to bed.
