Visitng friends

We went to people's houses in our own group today by an exercise called a trust walk. One person is blindfolded and walks to the next house, giving others in the group a chance to lead the person with instructions, to keep her safe, and get her to the correct location. The blindfolded person feels feelings of fear or trust, and talking that out afterward helps us to understand our feelings toward other people, including God.

When we arrived at the homes, we were amazed at the stories of the peo.ple, who welcomed us in, and told us their stories, and frequently asked f0r prayer. It was a time of bonding, letting them know that we love them and that their lives matter to us and to God. They were quite moved by our interest in their lives and homes.

Things are going so well, that the team wants to stay thru the rest day, and continue to work in the village. Occupy Kalavai movement? Where have I heard that before? We will take out rest day, tbough, as it is vital to maintain the high level of functioning, and a strong close on Friday.
