Last night we shared with the church about our experiences in Africa/Lesotho. I didn't realize I was going to be emotional all over again. But explaining my experience climbing up Thaba Bosiu really got to me and I of course cried as I explained how much God did for me and showed his love and concern for me through the people around me. I will hopefully explain that when I post pictures I'm not sure. At this rate the DVD Sam and I are putting together is going to take AT LEAST a month if we work on it every chance we get.
It was a lot of fun hearing my team members view of our trip. I would have to say I got people to cry, Tom and Jerret got people to cry as well but it was because they were laughing so hard. I seriously felt like I was at a comedy show! It was great!
I got to show a couple clips of Pastor Thomas in Ty, where we did most of our work and will continue to work with his church. I showed a clip of the village kids saying "Dumela The Place" and I turned the viewer around so they could see themselves on the video and they freaked! It was too cute.
Also a lady from the church was working at the college across the street and she loaned us a laptop and projector so we could view the pictures I had brought for the team members on CD. That's what we ended the night with. It wasn't very organized because I wasn't prepared to show them. But it worked out well in the end. :)
We were sharing from 6:30 to 10pm last night! People just wanted to hear and see more and more. I kept saying well we can stop and share more later. I finally had to tell everyone that it was late and I needed to get going. The group died down quite a bit but I was just glad to get home and go to bed.
Now today's Tax day so I need to finish filling out my forms and send it off in the mail. Nothing like waiting till last minute huh? ;)
Well I gotta get to work.
