At Work and Play

Last trip I posted a short clip of both Joel and Bonheur translating. For those of you who aren't sure what I do with the editing, here's a video clip explaining it. Wakshuma and I figured out this evening that I will have 67 sessions to edit this trip: Kinyarwanda (18), Oromo (18), Hausa (18), Swahili (7), and French (6). It is best to edit while I have the men here to make necessary corrections.

As I've mentioned in other posts, we have great times of fellowship before, during, and after meal times giving ourselves a good hour together each meal. Before and after meals we gather in the chairs just outside the reception area where there are comfortable chairs and good internet access to facilitate our fun. Dan brings a lot of life to the gathering. Here they are exchanging phone numbers because Dan (middle) wants to visit Wakshuma (right) and try out the good Ethiopian food that Wakshuma has told us about which includes eating raw beef with special friends. A delicacy reserved for adults and eaten with a lot of hot pepper. Dan is a little apprehensive about the raw beef, but would still like to visit.

Tomorrow Ken will come to pick us up at 9am and take us to his church in the slums of Kibera. Dan has been asked to preach and he is excited about the opportunity. At lunch today he gave us a preview of what he was planning on covering. He was very animated at the table. I'm wondering if he will be that animated tomorrow during church or not. We shall see.

PLEASE PRAY for a good day of worshipping God with Ken's congregation and then a relaxing afternoon to give our minds a rest from the very rewarding and yet taxing work of translating and editing.
