9:41 am : We can't believe we are leaving! We have fallen in love with this land and people. They are so hungry. Both physically and spiritually. And so receptive to the gospel. I'm sitting here listening to a group sing "how great thou art and holy,holy,holy"

Score is putting on a conference today for nationals. We had a great afternoon yesterday. We walked the neighborhood inviting children to come and they did! We sang and played our praise instruments and then shared VBS and the gospel! The children will come each week to meet with Erica and Nate. They asked "are the americans going to come every week?". Oh how we wish we could! We will eat lunch and then head to the airport!
