I skipped day 9 but we have been on a driving trip around the country the last couple of days visiting churches and schools that JBC has had a part in starting, and there was no internet service last night where we stayed. We also visited 2 new churches that have just started up and that was very fun. They both gathered all their people together though it was on Saturday and they sang and we did some praying with them. The church that we visited this afternoon that is new had a children’s program for us where they sang and danced. I wish the Internet was good enough to be able to send the video I took so you could see these little kids dancing African style. They had a little boy, probably about 7 or 8 that was amazing playing a drum. Their church facility was bamboo rods that formed the walls and ceilings like studs and rafters covered with plastic with dirt floor and wood benches. It was a cool little church. I was incredibly blessed being there with them. Tomorrow Brad and I are going to visit some shops in Freetown to do the tourist thing and then come back here to the compound for a 4th of July celebration with the missionaries that are here, and then Tuesday we head back home. It will be good to get home. The heat and humidity and general conditions really tucker me out, but it will be sad leaving because it is so rewarding working and serving here helping the pastors and churches. If I were 10 years younger I would spend 2 months a year here instead of bicycling around the country. Oh well, I will do what I can and pray a lot.
