What Christ asks of us is a roomy workshop, for when He comes into the soul, He comes as a craftsman and His tools with Him. -Evelyn Underhill

We went to Kirinda to work with the trainees that Wayne, Danielle, Brad, and Linda had trained for the last three days. We reviewed e-mail basics and allowed them to sign into their email. They were very happy to see that they were getting trained for another 2 days. I loved seeing the smiles on their face when they saw that they were on their email. It was a really positive day, even though we couldn’t get some of the emails to send.
The internet wasn’t always working and it was hard to explain why. We really needed patience and God provided that for us. God has different plans for everyone and it is really great to see how God’s changing our lives.
Market day was today and it was so cool to see their shopping culture. They had everything from food to fabric, to shoes. Many of the girls got fabric and plan to get skirts or bags made. It was really great to see how everyone interacted with each other. Everyone had a smile on their face.
Wayne surprised us today at our debrief. Something we haven’t had since we left America. Pizza and cold water, ice cold water. You could see the condensation on the bottle. We were all so excited. -Kayla

We started training nine new pastors some of which already had emails. As Wayne asked them questions we realized that many had some knowledge of computers. So Wayne worked with what we had and made a class out of it. 2 computers ( one desk top and one lap top ) made our classroom. Danielle and Linda each sat at one helping them with their typing skills. After Wayne taught them more about Word and how to use the tools to make their work easier. As he taught Danielle sat at the computer and demonstrated. One of the pastors explained during class that they had taken this training course but often forget what they have learned before they get a chance to practice. They really do need more computers here so they can practice what we are teaching them.
After training we met up with the other teams and all 17 of us went to the market. Friday is Market day here and the whole town comes out to get the things they need. They have food like these small dried fish, vegetables, rice, and flour. You can also get clothes and shoes, bags, personal hygiene stuff and even soap that someone made. They cut it off a big block right there. The market was really something fun for all of us. At dinner we found out that Wayne and Michelle had bought 2 big sticks of sugar cane and had the guest house cut it up for us to all try some. You don’t swallow it, you just chew on it and suck the juice out. It was sweet and really tasted good. Tomorrow is our last day of training, and then we have to plan on leaving soon. I am not too sure that’s going to be easy because we have all fallen in love with this place and these people.
