Sunday

Today was relaxed. We started out with a worship service at 10:45ish...it lasted until almost 12. We sang some songs and talked about several of the verses dealing with how to treat one another. It was a good time. After we had finished, we headed off to the Brazilian for lunch. That was good too. They serve meat on big skewers of some sort, you just select the part you want and they cut it off for you...there was also a buffet section with mostly carbs. I think Meg especially enjoyed lunch...as she was able to speak some Portugese to one of the owners...she grew up in Brazil. After lunch, we all went back to Grand Yoff. Several of us then went with Cal and Maggie to the really neat place that Brea, Erin, and I went to the other day. We climbed out on the rocks again, but today we were prepared, so we ended up soaked. We were safe about it...but, we still managed to get soaked to the bone. It was a lot of fun, and completely gorgeous. After we finished there, we came back to Grand Yoff and cleaned up. We made some hot dogs and french fries for dinner at about 6:30. After dinner we all just hung out, and then at 9:15 or so, we went out and had a praise and worship time, led by Ryan. It was very good. We finished with that about 11:40. Now everyone has gone off to bed. We will leave tomorrow morning at 11:30 or so to go in different directions. Some of us will be going to work with the talibes, some of us will be going to the school that we visited earlier in our trip...to talk some more with the English students there. Please pray for me. I need strength, I need encouragement, I need affirmation. Pray for the team too, that we will be respectful of each other as well as those around us. Also pray that we will be vibrantly displaying God's love in the way we treat each other and the Senegalese. Thank you all and good night.
