Sunset Cruise



Hey All, Just got off a 30 min cruise on the Zambezie - tommorw I should spend about half a day on the river fly fishing. I'm thinking we might need to do a mens trip for the church here where we both take on a construction project and fish! The attached photos were taken at a village I visited on Thursday where my highlight was pumping water for the kids you see as well as some others. The second shot was taken just before we pulled out and is right behind where we stay. We have been offered a ride in these dug out canoes with our night watch man Charles for about $3. Some of us will go tomorrow and some on Monday as there is no Jesus Quest on Monday as there is some sort of sporting event. We have seen a "track" traced out in the dirt.
Today has been good as we have made a tremendous amount of project on hippo house. It being Saturday really impacted Jesus Quest so we dropped the talk, made God's eyes, tossed frizbees, kicked around a few soccer balls and generally had a purely relational connection time. The result was some pretty amazing conversations. I got about 7 hours of sleep last night rather than my 5 or so from previous days so I'm feeling much better. I'm excited for church tomorrow as well as some much needed down time. Praying hard for all of you at FPC as you say good bye to Scott. In Christ
Jon
