Week 1 of outreach

okay so i realisd i missed this week out, which is a shame because it was the best!!! we were in Mutwala Kenya staying on the banks of a river in a mud hut with the nicest family community, we did lots of school visits, which included skits, preaches, games and dances. I gave my first preach at a primary school, i talked about how Jesus is our healer and how he is the light of the world (from the story of JEsus healing the blind man) i was amazed at the response of the kids, so many of them decided on that day that they needed to lay down their worries and fear and trust in God! it was amazing considering i wa freaking out about what to speak about, but what can i say... the holy spirit really doe work thourhg you and give you the words to say!!!
Every evening we did crusades at the top of the hill and showed movies, unfortuanly it rained a few evening and got very muddy, trying to climb muddy hills in flip flops is the ultimate fail and many times i walked bare foot in the dark home having to be pushed up muddy slopes or caught at the bottom when i went flying!!!
Every moring we would collect water at 6 from the river, this involved more battling with mnuddly slopes whilst carrying a jerry can on my head, i am proud to say in true verity fashion i slipped and fell getting coverd in mud and busting my shoulder!!!! However the jerry cans of water were essential for washing and bathing (pouring a jerry can on water over your head!!!) clothes washing took place in the river (veruy african i felt)
and now it seems like it was so long ago i cant think what else to say right now, it seems so long ago!!
