(So this is the second time I have written this blog post- so I'm sorry if its rubbish!)

On Sunday we went to the redeemed church, this was a very exciting and very African experience! We did lots of singing and dancing, and our presentation at the front was great! 
After church we walked to Pastor Nelsons house, where Agnes (his wife) and Grace (his daughter) made us an amazing lunch, and provided entertainment with lots of singing and dancing! 
We taught one girl (an orphan living with pastor nelson) how to play the ukalele .

After the very heavy rain stopped we went to play football with some of the projects boys football team, this was very muddy and we eventually beat the under 10s as we really couldn't handle the under 14s! - only slightly embarrassing.

Monday- today was our first day at the project, after a morning devotion we managed to overcome a lot of confusion and begin teaching the children! 
They hardly know any English, which made it hard when the interpreters wandered off, we found it difficult, but the kids still had loads of fun- which is the main thing.

Lots of progress was made with the mural and playground and we had a really fun athletics session.

Group achievements: 
Rosie, Sienna and Phil went for a rub monday evening!
Emily survived a VERY African toilet experience at church
Martin did a whole day of painting without updating Facebook!

Please pray for:
Continued good health for everyone
Energy
We can communicate and plan in the way that suits the kids the best.

Thankyou for all your support! Xx
