Just Another Day in SA
Today we learned storying and how to use stories from the word. This took several hours, and it wasn't so much the stories themselves that took the longest, but how to tell the story that took so long and terms to use/not to use. Certain terms or phrases don't click, and people get stuck on a small detail and miss the big picture. Teaching orally and telling stories is how people learn here in SA, and it's a lot of fun telling them stories! As you're teaching them, you end up learning so much. The workers here had several stories of how the word has changed lives through stories. "Delhi Belly" has struck twice on our group, but each person was feeling better within a few hours. The water situation has been a problem with showers. The city isn't pumping in any water so you have to have it delivered to the large containers on the roof. Thankfully, He provided and they were able to bring some this morning and will be delivered each morning until the end of this week. P**y for health, because when we're sick we are limited in attention span and patience, that the adversary would not get a foothold within our group, and that the HS would be evident.
