Greetings,
The day began with a more relaxed schedule. Around 8:00, some of us went to see a church and graveyard near to where we were staying. Others we’re were very kind in helping clean up our rooms. At 9:00 we had a breakfast of bread, meat, cheese, and tomatoes. And of course, there was tea and coffee. We met together after breakfast for a Mennonite history class by Lloyd. Then we finished packing, took a group picture, sang a song for our hosts, and loaded up on the bus in order to leave by 11:00. We enjoyed a small devotional about acknowledging God as an active part in our lives. at least 15 min. in quiet time, the bus was bubbling with conversation, laughter, and lots of fun. Soon after arriving at the hosting church, they fed us a wonderful lunch. We practiced a while, then they served cake, coffee, and tea. It was delicious. After changing for the program and loading onto the bus, the bus wouldn’t stay running so we walked to the center where the program was held. We warmed up and prepared lineups then had a prayer time. The program went well. Afterwards we went back to the church and divided up into homes for the night. Maybe tomorrow you’ll hear more about that. God bless you all and keep praying. ~Benjamin Barnhart
