Last week was mad busy and this week seems to be even busier. It looks like it will keep going that way until December and before I know it’s time for the outreach. I am excited and scared at the same time. I know it will be fun, challenging, out of this world experience that will change my life, BUT there’s so much I feel that I need to grow to be ready for that so I really hope there’s enough time. We had a speaker named Ed from UK last week and we learned so much about the Father heart of God. It was such a powerful message and none of us could keep away the tears when it was Ed’s time to leave. He definitely touched my heart and made so many things to meditate and think about over the weekend.
On Saturday our dear staff went out for a retreat. The DTS students were left in the base to look after their kids. There were so many students who wanted to be with the kids, so I used the opportunity to take a nice and relaxing day off. It didn’t start so nicely at all. Somehow I had been stupid enough to save all my dirty clothes to be washed at the same time. So having only one clean pair of outfit I took my huge bag of dirty (it’s literally dirt or dust that is on the clothes) clothes and started doing laundry. It was little before 10am when I started and little before 1pm when I finished. NEVER AGAIN will I do a mistake like that!!! My hands hurt, I was sweaty like crazy and it had taken me 3 precious hours. Yeah, wasn’t really the best morning but…oh well, now I know better. In the afternoon Angela and I decided to make a little trip to Machakos to buy some stuff. We knew it would be kind of an adventure as it was our first time to do it alone without any Kenyans. Two mzungu women in a little town, not easy to be unnoticed, but we were willing to take the risk lol. Leaving out the facts that people were staring at every corner and if not every then every other car honked at us like we were celebrities, it turned out to be quite nice and we were back by dinnertime. As it was Saturday I desperately wanted to stay awake longer that day, but we had a ministry to go on Sunday morning so that’s pretty much how my only free day of the week ended.
Our second big ministry was in a girl’s boarding school close by our base called Shalom High School. There were girls ages 15 to 21 and we were there to spend the day with them worshiping God and sharing about YWAM. The girls had different programs for us, they sang, did drama and danced. We had some songs prepared a well. These girls were fun or what!!! We danced all these crazy African dances after lunch and it was so much fun. I don’t know how, but I am really good at them, so all the girls were amazed as well to see a mzungu dancing like that lol. It was really funny to hear that from them but it made me feel good, because I felt it broke the barrier between us and after that we were able to share more easily. I could have never imagined that God could give me a Holy Spirit of dancing that would really work lol. It was definitely the best ministry so far.
