I just must relay an experience that I had yesterday while in the second village. It was something that I had never had happen before and I am equally sure it will never happen again.
As we were walking down the path after visiting a believers house we passed by a fairly large elementary school. It appears it was during their lunch break as all the children were outside in the play yard. There was a low wall between us and the children and they could see us coming down the path. I waved and some of them waved back.
Then about 25 children came over to an opening in the wall to get a closer look at me and hear me talk. We spent a few minutes talking with the kids and then continued down the path to our jeep. I had just gotten in the jeep when a 10 year old girl came to the window with her friends. And then it happened . . . in pretty good English she asked me for my autograph !!! She had a small book that others had signed and she was handing me her pen.
How could I even think of refusing this request – after all it’s been a long time coming and who knows if it will ever happen to me again. All the girls were giggling as I wrote “John 3:16” and signed my name. We then gave her a Bible and showed her where the book of John was located.
I am just getting ready to leave the hotel to pick up the team. And then it is on to our orientation training and dinner tonight. Thank you for your continued prayers.
