Walt: A programme of singing, dancing, puppets and a sermon was made in the market square and enjoyed by everyone. The village elder was very impressed and the children all got sweets at the end. We also had fun making mud bricks for two churches. Deaf student Kennedy was a star worker. He ran all the time. That day we made over 900 bricks! We were glad to refresh ourselves with a swim afterwards. Other activities were classes in signing lead by deaf building instructor Temia who was a natural and loved doing it. Her deaf husband Raphael helped.
While we were there, we had our challenges. Mine was sleepless nights because of frequent unknown bangings on the roof in the dead of night! I never found out what they were. We did have a great time though. We met up with the pastors who we met last year. We did door to door work with them. Once, we split up and went from hut to hut saying who we were and praying for the villagers. I was surprised how welcoming they were. Not like in England, where you would be looked on with suspicion.
