Our second day in Embo was similar to
the first, with a visit to a different school to start off the day. Matt and Clay sat in the "boot" of the van, and as we approached the school, they opened the door and sang songs and picked kids up as they went along.
Naomi gave her testimony to a rapt audience.
We met with the principal of the
school after talking to and singing with the kids, and we got to hear
about his dreams for the school. We prayed over him and invited him
to church on Sunday.

This day, while others went into the
community to pray for people, I got to go to the Creche and hang out
with the kids, which made me really happy. I helped them with their
snacks and then we went out to the playground, where we spent most of
the time I was there. All the kids wanted their pictures taken, and
had fun taking turns posing and being placed in rows with their heads
together.
Several little girls were doing my hair
and sitting on me, and I felt right at home. I am happiest
surrounded by kids.
After I got picked up from the creche,
we went back to the orphanage we were staying in and while some of
the team made dinner, Jenna and I went and ironed clothes for the
orphans.
After dinner, we went out again to a
mourning family to pray with them and give testimonies.
They keep us on our toes in Embo. There's a lot of work to do there, and we were happy to help, although at the end of each day we were ready to rest.
