Day 16- The Long Walk

It’s Sunday!  Church is about 20 yards from my house… needless to say I’m getting my exercise.  In church this morning my dad asked me to read the daily scripture in front of the congregation.  I was definitely nervous, but I think I did all right.  Cool thing though- the specific scripture that I was reading was 1 Peter 2:1-8.  If you pull out the Word you’ll find that it’s all about the Living Stone.  It was a beautiful moment for me because it related perfectly to the song that I carried with me here to Africa, White Owl by Josh Garrels.  I definitely plan to meditate on 1 Peter this semester.  I’m still learning… this is just the beginning of my long spiritual walk, but I’m so excited for the journey.

Tonight all of the woman of our area (about 20) came to our house to meet & pray, or in the case of tonight, to learn how to make Chapoti!  It was so much fun!  Chapoti is a sort of fried bread that is usually taken for breakfast.  The women insisted that I help make it with them, so I did!  They’re pretty good, but so many carbs! Ah.

The power was out again tonight.  It goes out about 4 nights of the week.
