Joyful Children

 Day 4 in Africa: 11-3-2014

Our morning started with breakfast, coffee, and devotions.  My mom- Lynnette Bayer had the opportunity to lead today’s devotional.  She felt led to talk about perseverance.  Hebrews 12:1-3 really hits home for me.  Guys, we must endure the pain, because it is only temporary.  Jesus will give you strength in your time of need- we must trust Him.  Always remember that we are on the winning team when we follow Jesus.  He gives us joy and all we need to be successful.

So, after that filling Bible study, we went to the school Rock of Ages.   Whenever we go, it is just so much fun!  Those amazing, joyful little children are so curious about white people!  They love to feel our skin and hair!  They graciously come up to you and grab your hand, then they laugh ‘cause they have so much joy!  It is so cute when you exchange smiles and hand waves with them.  These kiddos are all so polite and well behaved.  Also, we all got to meet our sponsored kids!  Today we came to play and take pictures with the kids needing to be sponsored.  We gave them candy and fun little toys.  Thank you Mrs. Palmquist for the toys!!

After the visit to the school, we went to see Abdu’s farm.  It’s very neat to see the way that they farm in Africa, compared to the way in Iowa!  Right now he is growing ginger.
Well, now it’s supper time, and I think we are having fried chicken!  Today was so fun and I can’t wait until tomorrow!  God is good all the time- and all the time God is so good!!  Praise Jesus all the
 time!!!
