Prepared by Kathleen


Up at 7 today and put on our Sunday finest as we were heading (at teacher Esther’s invitation) to the International Central Gospel Church for 8:30 a.m. When we arrived we were escorted tour seats (3rd row) and were immediately immersed in the joyous singing and dancing of the morning service. The opening song lasted 35 minutes!! This was followed by short prayers, more singing, a long sermon, primarily about values and worth, but also a lesson on the value of eating limes (for healthy blood and the dissolving of kidney stones), and peanuts (for good skin and lowering cholesterol). After the service were invited to the church office to meet the minister.


Had a wonderfully lazy afternoon reading and doing a puzzle, although Robb had an adventurous stroll through the village… joined a town hall meeting at the palace, escorted to check out the river with Sam, and watching a soccer game. A huge storm came through and knocked out the power and A/C for most of the afternoon. Thank goodness for the generator that kept the ceiling fans going. Luckily the power came on shortly before bed and we were able to turn on our air conditioners!
