The ins and outs of an internet cafe...

I'm learning them all very slowly. I've got 9 minutes left on my 30minute login (which costs 4,000 cedi... about 40 cents if you were curious).

Church today was incredible. Chris, Aaron, Rachel and I went at 9:00 for a Bible study, where they are working through the concept of salvation. Today they discussed the past, present and future implications of the way salavation works. It was pretty intense. They tackled issues about whether or not the soul and the spirit are the same, if emotions are tied to the body or the soul and whether or not "hell" and "a place of torment" refer to the same thing. Listening to people talk about God in a different language was pretty incredible!

The worship was so neat, as well. People danced using handkercheifs and sang at the top of their lungs. Becky, Joel and Aaron, along with Charise, Cristabel and I sang "shout to the Lord" for them, and they clapped really loud. :) then we went and visited the kiddos in their Sunday School class, and were blessed to hear the pre-k/kindergarten class sing "Jesus loves the little children" and to hear the jr. high praise band.

We were able to tour the new university building, that Pastor John is still fundraising for in the states. A lot of us want to try and come back and see it when it's all complete... it's pretty incredible.

after lunch, we joined the neighborhood kids for another football game... this time in the rain! It's been relatively cool here. We were talking today about how it's probably been way hotter in Cali this past week than here... which seems crazy to us!

tomorrow begins the soccer tournament... thanks for continuing to pray for us!!!

sorry this post is so discombobulated and short... and probably filled with typos... i keep getting little pop ups telling me my time is almost up! :)

have a fabulous Monday! we'll see you all in only 10 days... crazy!
