Day 9
Today we started by going to Bread of Life Church International. Lawrence also left today for the UN, and so we prayed for him this morning as well. We were at church for four hours, singing, handing out blankets, socks, jerseys, and a few Easter cards as well. Pastor Peter was preaching and was very enthusiastic about what he was saying. He spoke in bimba, so he had a translator. What surprised me was that there were three people from Switzerland there with Prison Fellowship. They introduced themselves and one lady quoted a lot from the Bible. Martha was also called up to introduce us, but we didn't have to do anything. After the service was over, we distributed the goodies. Not everyone was there, and a lot of kids from the Ridge Point sponsorship were gone. We finally left church at 2:22 pm,, four hours later from when we got there. We went back to Kaps and had lunch, packed up a little, and rested. Martha came by later to take us to the Chifubu market and I found some cool fabric. At the market, there was dried fish that smelled horribly, and caterpillars that made me want to run. There was also the smell of the pub, which was really bad considering that in addition to that smell, there was body odor as well. After the market, we went out to dinner with Jennifer, Agness, Martha, and the three of us to a restaurant by the airport. It was really small and cozy, it wasn't really that busy, so it was half quiet. I got Hawaiian pizza and had a piece of chocolate mousse cake after. We went to the airport afterwards to pick up a slip of paper for mom and then started to drop people off on the way to Kaps. We also had to pick up Martha's son, Daniel, from a friends house. When we got back, we finished packing and went to bed. Tomorrow we leave for Livingstone and have to get up at 4:15 for a 6:30 flight.
