Today we headed back to the village for Sunday church service. I (Sean) had the awesome privilege to share a testimony of my family and preach the story of Jesus calming the storm. The church experience is much different from what we are used to at MCC.
There is dancing and a lot of music. Three different choirs take turns singing. It is very high energy and everyone participates. My story I shared to the church went over well but I have to give all the credit to our incredible interpreter Jackie. She has such a powerful way of communicating that everyone can understand and feel what is being said by the way she speaks to you. Thank You Jackie.
Today was another great day! Beautiful welcome again before service this morning! I (Silvia) love all the singing and dancing and the amount of participation that the kids have in it. It was followed by a great message by Sean. The meeting with the ladies cooperative went great! They are very smart with lots of ideas and eager to prosper. Sandrine invited us to her house this evening, it was beautiful, a very loving family.
The best times for me (Bruce) are when we are just walking around the village with friends. After church today we visited three homes and learned more about the families here. There are currently about 400 homes in Gasarabwayi. The average family size is 8 and their houses are about the size of a large American living room. The Average adult is a farmer who makes less than 2 dollars for digging all day in the sun with a large hoe. It is hard to believe how joyful these brothers and sister are. Life has never been better for them and they are working confidently for a better tomorrow.
