In Which There Is Much Singing In English

February 28^th- March 2^nd: Sunday- Tuesday

Sunday afternoon instead of having the usual singing and teaching at the main house we went to the ward at the clinic. We arrived early and Jim played his bagpipes while Jenny Heather and I opened up the ward and set chairs up inside. The entire clinic staff came along with several of the workers and some of the people from just around. We sang a bunch of English songs with guitar and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. Al gave a short devotional sort of thing. We had planned to have it for only English speakers but someone asked if we could translate so Al and Lokwii Paul were really cool about it and translated it. We sang one song to end the time with. The entire thing was really cool. Afterward I went to JB’s and spent some time hanging out and talking with him along with some of the Wright kids.

Monday was a rainy and cold day. For devotions at the clinic I went over with the Wrights and Martha and Rachel played guitar and we sang English songs. The clinic staff seemed to really like it. That night at guy’s night Jim made beef with peas on rice and it tasted really good.

Tuesday at work Justin and I worked on the roof for the new meeting banda on the main compound. We wound rebar around the frame so they could put the grass on. He welded it all together while I helped maneuver the rebar. It started to rain though so we had to stop early. They guys from the clinic came and we played football. I think we may have won but I don’t remember actually.
