Today Phil headed out with Pastor Frank and Ben and a few others to go to a village about an hour away, to start a two day conference. It ended up not being that there were many people there at all, and they almost did not talk at all. But Phil got to preach for about 20 minutes, and reports are that he went very well. Pastor Edward rang and said that previous appointments that he had were now cancelled and we went out together with Pruce to verify that the children that we selected to first take in were in genuine need. It was lucky that we did as some had out right lied about the situation. It was a long day and we travelled on Edwards bike, three of us – Edward, then me and then Pruce on the back, sitting sideways – it must have looked quite funny to the locals, a Muzungu sandwich. We also did a lot of walking up hills and down pathways, and I even managed to trip over in someone’s potato patch. But we did however have a good day. We started with six children, and two of them were not genuine, and we ended up finding another 6 possible candidates to take their place. So we are praying about it to see which ones that God feels for us to take at this stage.
