Our Day at Church!

As you probably assume after no internet for a week, we were all up pretty late last night talking with our family and friends! It was totally worth the lack of sleep, but needless to say we were pretty exhausted when we woke up this morning. We woke up and got ready to head out to church with different missionary families. We knew we were going to African churches therefore we wouldn't be able to understand what was going on. Honestly, I didn't start off the day with the best attitude. However, as always the Lord showed me something amazing through the day. We got to the hut where we would be having church and the sweet pastor came out and greeted us. The service was amazing--the missionaries translated for us so we would know what was going on. We sang songs, prayed for the people of their nation, then the children had a time where they memorized scripture--it was truly inspiring! The dedication they have to the Word is amazing-they just soak it up, since they don't have a bible this is the one time during the week they get to learn the Word of God! It was amazing! Then the pastor preached on how we are called to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind--It was really challenging. I should constantly be praising God in all I do and thanking Him for all I have. Not just the big things, but the simple things like having the strength to eat and drink! He is such a mighty God and deserve all we have! It was definitely a great morning--can't wait to see what the rest of the day holds!! Love y'all!
