We went to the little town by the Center today. It used to be an empty piece of land about a year ago. People started building houses there about a year ago and now it's a town of 800! The houses are pretty much just wooden or metal frames with black tarps around it or random pieces of wood or metal. Some have dug wells and planted gardens of beautiful flowers.There are so many
kids in this little town. The church there (their is no building yet, just a metal frame) feeds the children in the area lunch. We went to the store to buy some chicken for them. Then we went to an outdoor market a vegetable. It was a very interesting market. It can be pretty dangerous in there. The story and craft went well. We had a little over 100 kids. These kids aren't used to sitting for very long, but they did a pretty good job sitting there and seemed interested in what we were saying. We told the story of Daniel and the lions den. We didn't have enough cups for all the kids to make one, so we split the groups into two. The older ones made the cups and the younger ones made loin masks out of paper plates and yarn. We are going to be back here on Wednesday and Thursday,
