Mike’s first day.

It was good to wake up this morning to Mike bring here. He was up and ready to go when I got up. After his morning coffee and a breakfast we headed out to get Mike a SIM card for his phone. It was easier to get one for him because we were able to go to a main office. We then headed to the supermarket to buy some supplies, the main one being water as we are always drinking some since we lose so much from sweating. (It’s not like that back home I’m guessing)

We now had what we needed and we could get ready for the men’s conference that Mike is heading up. One thing missing is that his baggage from the airline hasn’t arrived yet. Mike said in Brussels the weather was bad, so the crew would not switch the baggage from the one plane to the next. Wait a minute, they won’t transfer bags, but they will take off in that weather. Yep! That’s what happened. Anyway Mike is going to have to wait until they get his luggage here before he can hand out his booklets that he made for the conference. He went full steam ahead anyway with a testimony of his life and at least 50 men in attendance. It was great to hear a room full of men singing together today. Even if the booklets don’t arrive we will make do. I believe Mike really enjoyed the time. Emmanuel was a great help to him.

After the conference we ate a meal and got ready for the revival service. This was really a good night. Pastor Titus spoke on Ephesians 3:14-19. It was a great message on Paul’s prayer to know God better. It was so good to see him and Mercy at church tonight. We are praying he can come back on Thursday early so we can visit and we plan to have an abbreviated service time to enjoy a fellowship meal thanks to CBC. The Women of Purpose will prepare the meal. Tomorrow Emmanuel, Mike and I will meet in the morning to review the teaching for the conference, especially if the baggage doesn’t arrive on time.

After church tonight we had a great time with Abraham, his fiancé, Favor, and Abraham’s brother, Isaac. What a great family they are. We enjoyed talking so much that we didn’t head to bed until 10:30 or so.

We look forward to a repeat of busyness tomorrow without the trip out. Here’s a couple pictures from today.
