Zimpeto is full of joy!

So after two days of traveling and then sleeping for 14 hours straight, we finally are in the groove of ministries. It's been an amazing time so far. The six of us have met so many great children and missionaries.

We went to church yesterday. The worship was amazing. All the children and young adults get up and dance in the front and they have moves for many of the songs. Anna, Keisha, and Cheyenne jumped right in. There is so much joy in the hearts of the people here. The afternoon was spent playing with the kids and taking a walk to the local gas station to pick up some snacks (chocolate) and juice. We also bought a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. Its all so delicious!

Today we went to the staff worship and again everyone was dancing and singing with all their hearts. There is a special needs house here that has about 8 children in it. They come to this worship and they were dancing with us. There is a boy that was born without eyes and a few of the children can't walk or talk. We prayed over them and just loved on them during the worship. After worship, we played with bubbles and the two and three years olds were laughing and running around trying to pop them! It was a lot of fun. We then tried to teach the older boys and girls how to jump double dutch. I think a few of them are going to get it soon! We are having a blast playing with the kids, eating lots of rice and bread and just getting to know everyone here.

One funny story, after sleeping 14 hours we were still a little off. They have sirens here that signal what time it is for the kids (wake up, eat, and bed time). Well the bedtime one went off and Shantae and Brieonna were asleep. That siren woke them up, they got up, showered, and dressed and were waiting outside our room to go to breakfast. They were positive it was morning and time to get up!

Prayer requests:
Unity for the team
Continued health
Anna's hands (her exzema is acting up)
Adjustments to a new culture and activities
Listening to the Holy Spirit for guidance and being obedient
