Church and Kid's Homes

Sunday morning we awoke rested and refreshed. Sadly, David got word that his mother had passed away while we were traveling. Please keep his family in your prayers. His mother had been ill for some time, but the news is never easy. He may write something later this week.
We went to church at 11 and enjoyed music, dancing and prayer Zimbabwe style. It was quite charismatic but I enjoyed it very much. [I come from a Catholic background- you can imagine the difference in the two styles of worship!]
We then went to visit 3 different homes- at each home the kids introduced themselves and then sang songs for us. We had a tour of each home and met the aunties.
I'm getting the "LET'S GO!" from Jephat- and need to run!

BUT,
last night we visited and had a wonderful meal with the Goppert's and Doyle's. They are missionaries here and relatives to our dear Everswick's. Try as we might, Joyce Goppert, Lynn Everswick's sister, could not recall any funny childhood memories about Lynn!!

Today we separated our donations and organized them. We are headed ot Fern Road homes to get moving on a chicken run and the volleyball courts. The weather is overcast and cool.

Thank you for your prayers and love
Katie

    will pray for David as we know this is a tough time...what is a chicken run?
    Joy and Dan (our daughter and son-in-law) would have loved that service.

    Love & Prayers,
