English worship
Yesterday we had our 8th English class and saw 65 people in our clinic afterward. See Mike's blog for additional details.
Last night at 7pm we had an English worship time. The missionaries in the area have done this once before, and it was such a huge blessing, that they decided to do it again. We had about 20 people, including children, come to this event. We started with some snacks and social time, then two of the missionaries played - one on piano and one on guitar. We had the words on our wall via a projector from a lap top and on and on we sang. The songs were occasionally interspersed with a word of praise or a time of prayer. All in all we sang for about an hour, then finished up the night with additional fellowship time. There are plans to do this on a somewhat on-going basis - perhaps every two months or so. We were truly blessed to be able to sing in our heart language.

Looks like you had a good time, but it also looks like you were sweating on that chair...haha...sweating, what's that like again?
Oh yes, know what you mean! There's nothing like our heart language...definitely, do it regularly! :)
My favorite times as a kid - meetings and singing.
