Just to make you a little jealous, it has been sunny and warm all day. In fact Mel's job today was to pick up trash in the hospital compound (a full-time job in this area). It seems that people drop things as they get through them. In fact, at the bottom of our stair there are four chairs and a TV, along with various other things, just like that is the local dump.
Meanwhile, back to Mel picking up trash, he is already sporting quite a tan because he was outside in the sun all day.
After getting settled in on Saturday, someone took us to a grocery store that had a five-story garage, but the grocery store was so crowded it was worse than a snow day in Laurel in the Giant. Can't say it was pleasurable because it was so crowded but it was interesting.
We enjoyed going to two different churches yesterday, one in Nazareth, one in Cana. We were warmly greeted in both churches like long, lost relatives and the pastors of both took us out for meals afterward. We got to see the new building in Cana for the first time. It was very nicely done, well equipped, and most of the labor was done by men in the church. The number seemed to be quite a bit larger than when we were last here, so it's a good thing the new facility is ready because there would not have been room in the old place.
We met an Englishman who represents the Baptist churches in England and he preached a sermon. It was nice that we could understand. It was nice that the locals had to have an interpreter instead of us. Turns out the gentleman knows a lot of people whom Morag knows.
We all started work today and had a busy day. We are all quite tired and are thinking of hitting the hay early, so that's it for this time. Tomorrow we might be funny but tonightwe are just too pooped to pop.
Stay tuned for future adventures
