Friday was kind of a quiet day. I did not try to do much in the morning. I took time to read and pray and get a few projects done around the house. After lunch I went to Ziwa with Ann to help her copy some of the things she needed for her class. I also-needed to get all of our electronics charged up for the weekend. Silas's solar battery has been acting up. Gracie had gone with Ryan in the morning so she wanted to stay home. Caleb wanted to get some more time in on the ponga so he was home also. He and his dad were gutting trees to be made into a lectern for the college. Andrea took time after class to walk over to the market to get bananas. The students from the college are coming over Sunday for supper and she and Ann plan to bake banana bread. We found out this morning that Silas' first bananas of the season were ripe. Did you know that tree ripened bananas taste so much better? We were glad we had gotten some to get dead ripe though anyway.
During the evening I struggled with just how to teach Genesis 24. I had made various plans all week but rejected all of them. I stayed up after Ann turned in and came up with a basic format. At sometime in the night I awoke with additional ideas. There is no chance to do Saturday night prepping here since we worship on Saturday morning. Rising before dawn I made my way to the sitting room with my headlamp. God answered my prayer and the lesson came together in plenty of time I was soon joined by Ryan who was putting the finishing touches on his sermon. He said Andrea was sitting up in bed working on her Sunday school lesson but he had found that too uncomfortable. Ann had heard me get up but had fallen back to sleep. When she was awake she used her beautiful printing skills to do all the visual aids for my lesson on the life of Abraham. We all then walked down to the church building. Young men were putting up the tarps to shade us from the tropical sun. Ryan and I joined into help. When Silas and Gladys arrived he helped too. It is now late Sunday afternoon and supper is almost ready so I will close and continue later.
