Wednesday

Wednesday we had a nice treat. The director of the orphanage where we had visited earlier last week had invited us to a concert the little children would put on for us. There little ones were between two and four years old. They sang their little songs for us and recited a few little things they had learned about Easter. We had some bright plastic cups that had been given to us by a sister in Kap and we filled these with some chocolates, a stuffed toy, a chunky crayon and some other items. The favorite was those things you blow in and the front unrolls and then re-rolls itself when you stop blowing. The kids just loved these and they were all very happy with their cup and toy!
The day was very relaxed. We all had supper at Flo's and then at meeting had a lively bible reading on John 4. It is a challenge to keep things going on the one topic. I think for the most part the people coming to the meeting enjoy being able to put in their thoughts. Questions were asked and opinions were expressed and overall it was a good evening. Gilles and I took the marshrutka back to the center and enjoyed walking the last kilometer in the warm evening air.
