We\u2019re basically pros :]. Today we trekked down the muddy roads in our four wheelers to another school. This time around, we were even more prepared with our songs, games, crafts, and stories. I think we accomplished the same number of activities in half the time! Although\u2026 this could be mostly attributed to the fact that these kids spoke English.. hah. One of the most memorable parts of our two hour stay was the story telling. We told (and once again.. got the kids involved with hand motions) the story of Jesus calming the storm and chose one of the children to tell the story back to us. All the other days, the kid would stand there looking confused with maybe a hint of stage fright; but today, a little boy popped up and excitedly told each part of the story, including the motions! It was so amazing to see a little kid learning and remembering stories that show the power of God :]. Also, the Jesus bracelets were a highlight. There was pure joy on the each child\u2019s face as they proudly held their bracelets up to our faces, just wanting a simple \u201cwoah!\u201d or \u201cgood job!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alright, well if you know my lovee for blogging then you know I could just go on foreverrr (sarcasm :P). Therefore, I\u2019ll end this here :]. You know.. more later and thanks again for the prayers! It has been rainy and cold the last 2 days, so our outreach trip to the bush, which was supposed to be today, was postponed to tomorrow. But, the weather is supposed to clear up, so pray we can go!<\/p>\n<p>lotss of love,<br \/>\nemily<br \/>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-78 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0444.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0444-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0443.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0443-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0437.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0437-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0422.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0422-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0419.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0419-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0416.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0416-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0480.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0480-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0479.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0479-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0469.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/leopardshark.com\/botswana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/dsc_0469-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>ha p.s. (I always seem to forget something) this morning we went to worship and listen to a short sermon again with the local Botswana missions team. As I said before, it was just so amazing. I realized one of the reasons I like it so much is that it\u2019s like everyone IS the band since it\u2019s all a cappella, and everyone is participating with their whole heart. They made an entire song that lasted at least five minutes out of the simple phrase \u201cnumber one\u201d sprinkled with \u201cnot number two\u201d and \u201cnot number three\u201d (and of course with lots of clapping and dancing :]). Also, because of all the rain, the speaker could not make it, so someone from the group was just called up on the spot to make a short sermon. Seriously\u2026 it had power, direction, and passion.. and it was completely impromptu. I just think that\u2019s so incredible. Each morning we have heard an equally impacting sermon and decided we could sum them up with \u201cIf you love me, obey me. So, let\u2019s be a new generation who goes deeper.\u201d The way the say \u201cgo dee-pa\u201d just makes it all the better :]. Ok, so for real this time\u2026 ttyl.. it\u2019s time for bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep. We\u2019re basically pros :].
