If I go to Africa....I might not want to leave.

As I reflected on the Journey to Africa, I thought to myself, "If I go to Africa, I might not want to leave". The weather is perfect-high 20's, the vegetation is lush and green. There is always fresh fruit available. The people are warm and welcoming.
I have been preparing for the medical clinics...meeting people, buying medications, preparing the formularies, bagging medications, etc... and there is so much left to do, but I feel at peace and feel like there is time.
The church I preached at on Sunday was small. The wood slates on the walls had many spaces between them. The corregated metal for the roof had sunlight shining through. The floors were dirt. But that didn't stop the congregation from worshipping God in a way I had never experienced. There were the drummers on one side, banging out an incredible rhythm. The children-even down to the three year olds sang a song and danced in time to the drums. It was beautiful. I felt like God was pleased with their praises. I could sense the presence of God there. What a priviledge to be among them and worship God with them.
I went in to town today to make some photocopies. On the way, I turned to Robert and asked him if he wanted me to drive. He said, "do you have a driver's license?" I said yes. So he agreed to let me drive! haha. I only drove for about five kilometres, but it was fun!
