Beans, beans and don't eat the green things.

Our first day is complete. Andy and Helen spent the day with the babies. They think its a vacation, but let's not lie. The rest of us turned chocolate brown from the dripping oil paint, so maybe that counts as my tan? After lunch, we had some free time in which Pastor Sunny, Lisa, and Mama Arlene went shopping in town to find Bob Dunn an African butter churn, and Helen an African cane. In Pastor Sunny's words "back at the ranch" I took a nap and Bri tried to get on the internet. Helen and Andy also relaxed while the babies slept. Jane mingled with the other guests. When Pastor Sunny returned, our group headed up to the kids' homes. I engaged myself in an intense game that is like volleyball; Pastor Sunny and Bri also joined in. Unfortunately, the klutz, me, fell into drain system. Nothing serious just a few scratches, but still I am amazingly clumsy for a dancer. After some Neosporin and band-aids, we got to hand out the QUILTS which arrived today!!!! We also handed out some of the toys we brought. The quilts were a MAJOR hit. I would personally like to thank all the quilters for giving these children such a special gift. Jane also was able to give her gifts to the children she sponsors, Boscov and Claude. They loved their gifts. Then dun-dun-dun dinner is served. Just when we thought it was safe to go in the kitchen out rolls...the green things, aka the tree tomatoes. The good news is you can pick them out. On a more somber note we had beans again. God bless those who eat beans with every meal. Anyone need any Bean-o? After supper we went to worship. John-Paul gave the message which was about trusting God. They sang and we clapped because our African is a little rusty. BUT IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Now we are back in Pastor Sunny and Jane's room having African lessons until just now we lost power! Wahoo! It matches the loss of water earlier today. Don't worry we got showers, well except for Bri. P.S. The internet here is about making it impossible for me to download pictures, so please don't get mad but I don't want to waste my time here.
