So here is a quick summary of our day, we had morning devtions, breakfast and dishes, peeled potatoes, and then were presented with a 20 liter pail of grain the swift through and pick out anything that was not a perfect gain seed. And so minus a break to do lunch dishes we sorted grain all the way to supper. As a result this blog will not be very long becuase there is not much I can say about stitting on the ground a sorting through grain. Alought Alissa spilled much of hers on the ground and pretended it was grass, and even though it was a pretty boring task we all still had a pretty good day and laughed alot.
Tomorrow they are going to grind the grain into flour and make bread, we now have new apperciation for flour, and think the bread will be the best bread wed have ever tasated.
We also got a note from the team at the village written on one of the bags we made, it reads:
"Dear Friends with access to water,
We miss you dearly, and think of you while siting for 3hrs listening to Quechua. You're in our prayers.
Patches needs prayer, he hopped a fence in a potato sack. Happy Feets shoes are wet. Erin has a few new 'friends'. Patches and Snorey are sharing a double bed by the sausage rolls. Giggles is finding reasons to smile & herbal essence is the only one that smells good.
80 out of the 200 kids expected came so you're bags are being put to 'good' use. You'll be able to recognize us upon our return because we're takken Carson's advice.
Kyle we're aloud to pet kittens right?
Love your 'smelly' villagers"
So we are pretty sure that they are having lots of fun, but to explain the note a little futher. Mark is clearly Snorey, which logically makes Morgan Pathces. Heidi is Erin (her middle name) because the people cannot pronounce Heidi. Herbal Essence is Brianna becuase she is always useing esstenital oils. We are guessing Happy Feet and Lindsey and Giggles Amanda, althought we are not totally sure. We also have no idea what Carson's advice is.
Pastor Bill's teaching is going well, they are covering a lots of material very qiuckly and the pastors have a lot of good questions.
Thanks for your contiuned prayers.

Rebecca, is that a Toblerone chocolate bar you are eating while sorting grain? I am sure you shared with everyone! I have enjoyed your blog postings daily. Praying often. Love Mom
ReplyDeleteHi family and friends!!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you all. Thanks, Mark, for the update on Morgan's status... from one parent heart to another. Now, we pray for "Patches"...
Praying for all of you, that you will fight the good fight, continue to be healthy and well spiritually and physically, that you will "serve" for the glory of God and that this experience will change lives.
Praying for you too, Stephanie, as you interpret on these long teaching days. Be strong and courageous!!
Carson and Morgan, home is very quiet and socially dead without you ... and cheap on groceries!!
Sounds like none of you have lost your sense of adventure and humor...
Keep up the spirits!
Love the Stobbe home
