“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

Iowa misfits?

Bill, Justin, and Nate from Iowa eating from their own private general store

Justin working (or playing one of his '80s songs?) on our bathroom vanity


I think Justin and Bill spent about half their time on the gator. Justin trying to ride African style-standing up in the back. They tried to fix the box so that it would tilt, but no go.


Bill trying to show he at least did a little bit of work...

THIS IS OUR VANITY!!! THANK YOU BILL AND JUSTIN!!!





gifts

The Ankeney, IA group brought some gifts for the college. this first picture is some of the workers with new wheelbarrows, pick/ax/hoe tool, slashers and machetes.



This is three of the students with guitars that have been donated. Two came with this group, one was left from the first Florida group. They are starting to get a few of the chords fairly well. I personally just have this problem though, with trying to learn the chords to a song DURING services. I need to encourage them to work on the songs BEFORE they perform them! It just throws everyone off.


The group also got a new bench grinder.


snakes, everybody wants to touch the snakes

This was the close up from Justin's camera.
Yes, it is dead-Brian just stepped on the right muscle


I didn't think of it in time, but I had gotten copies of everyone's pictures from the Iowa and Georgia groups. I think of the 20 some groups, over half had to touch the snake and get their pictures with it. So here are a few.



This is the skin of the puff adder that the students killed in one fo the gardens.


The puff adder

Dan and John from Georgia and David

food stuff

the ladies washing dishes after a meal


the cooking area


a typical lunch-nshima, beans, rape or cabbage, watermelon


Witness went out and found this wild honeycomb
Brian loves it, it's okay I guess


Breakfast-porridge, hardboiled eggs, peanut butter sandwhich



No pictures of supper. That is usually cabbage, nshima, and some type of meat-stew (chicken, or beef), fried chicken, fried tillipia, or beef




soccer

the cheerleaders


Myron playing with the students


students waiting patiently for the bus to load and go to the game


Myron
(No, he's not really playing in the game. I guess he was freaking the ladies out by playing out in the middle of the field. Everyone just played around him!)


More cheering for Zambia! (they beat Rwanda in the big game on Saturday!)

Don decided to try some catepillars with the workers
