Today was rather uneventful. When we woke up it was raining. I guess when it rains nothing happens. We were able to sleep in. The temperature was low. It was nice. Yesterday was so hot, so it is nice that it cooled down.
We were supposed to travel to Budjala but with the weather we drove to Tandala instead. Tandala is closer to Budjala and the roads to Tandala are better. We are going to do a seminar in Budjala tomorrow.
On the way to Tandala we saw many people that were at our seminar in Gemena. It was very humbling. They would say Hi and erupt with happiness. Again this is very humbling.
Yesterday’s seminar went very well. We had 150 people attend. They seemed to respond very well. We had one funny thing happen at the seminar. We were teaching through inductive bible study. After teaching them about it we gave them a passage of scripture to assess based on the inductive tool we gave them. It took them over an hour to finish. The story we gave them to assess was the prodigal son. When they were done and we had reviewed it with them, we asked if they had any questions. One gentleman stood up and was questioning if what I was teaching was biblical. I said something to the effect that the prodigal son lost his inheritance. That when his dad died he would get nothing. This young man said that no where in the text does it say that the dad died and that the son would not get an inheritance again. The two other guys in my group and I laughed at that one afterword because that had nothing to do with the story or the training.
I am sorry this post is so short. I am tired and we are leaving early in the morning. Please keep praying for us. We are with the rest of the team. Everyone seems to be doing well (Elissa and Amanda are both feeling fine. They are teaching some Congolese people to sing how great is our God). We have internet at in Tandala so hopefully you will get more updates.
