Dear family and Friends,
We had a wonderful day today. We started the day by
splitting up the team and attending two of the local churches here in Niger.
One of the churches began with a bible study. This was followed by an amazing
time of worship. No one hesitated to dance and march around the isle to praise
the Lord. The pastor of the church
led a short message, followed by Brian. We learned about how we tend to run
from God at times, yet He loves us so much and waits for our return. Isn’t it beautiful?
Next, we ate at a Chinese restaurant. Yes, a Chinese restaurant in Niger. It was
so good. After that we headed to a village to ride camels. Most everyone took a
turn and it was an experience of a lifetime. Next, we loaded up on canoes and
floated down the Niger River. It was so peaceful. There were kids bathing and
washing their clothes on the side. They were laughing and seemed so happy. We
ended the day looking over a plateau of the Niger River and neighboring
villages. This was a day to remember thanks to the Lord.
