Today was a good day. It started out with our team devotions, each of us shared a favorite verse and prayed for our trip. Eveleen, a Hatiian woman gave us short lesson on French phrases we might find helpful. I was surprised how much I remembered from Johnson City (NY) High School where I always forgot my book because the French teacher made me sit and share a book with Judith. C'est ce bon!! We were welcomed by one of the vice presidents and filled in on the mission. We got some more informaton about our destination and then started packing supplies for use in the VBS. One room contains tons of stuff we might use and we were provided with a large duffle bag to fill with up to fifty pounds of supplies. A teacher's dream -shopping for supplies with no cost.
Some of us who are here for the first time were teated to a tour of the beautiful facilities along with a brief history of Bible translation. It was very enlightening. Lunch was good opportunity to get better acquainted with some team members and then it was back to filling our duffle bags weighing them and making final decisions on what to take. Bags were then loaded into a van and we were off to have dinner at the home of Peggy our team director. Dinner was very enjoyable and we took time afterward to ask questions of Peggy who has been to Cameroon as has her daughter Sarah who is part of our team.
Back at the house about sundown I decided to take a walk. The community is a beautiful one by a golf course and the homes farther down the street on lake front properties are very opulent. while walking I got a chance to talk to Don Moreland and share some my experiences. I appreciated the word of prayer and blessing he shared with me.
Have just had a bowl of ice cream with fresh stawberries and chocolate syrup so I think I'll get ready to finish packing and turn in.
