!!Funday!!

Well, the funday was a huge success, we had about 60 children that came and of course the group of adults watching and laughing!! They all had a blast and the team that was with me also had a great time and enjoyed participating with the games and everything! They did some tamil songs with the children and did a mime also, the Good Samaritan, and the kids were silent all the way through it, well...all except for the part where one of their friends gets ‘beaten up’ in it!! And they were screaming and laughing!  

When we got there, I thought that we would be at the school but we weren’t we were by the small church and it started chucking it down with  rain, but it only lasted about 20 minutes so that was a relief!!!

our crazy team

  We were also able to go out in the village and pray for a few people…unfortunately we had a man sent with us from Batticaloa to show us supposedly only the directions to the village from the main street as we had to go another way because of the state of the roads after the floods, but he somehow started to talk to the people too…but it wasn’t out of love, he was forcing them to become Christians and was being very condemning…of course I didn’t understand what was going on, but the team told me afterwards…and told me to talk to him…so I did, andexplained the way we do things…unfortunatly  he didn’t seem to want to listen or follow the way we were doing things…but because of the relationships already formed I don’t think that it will affect our work in the village…but he wont be coming again with this team…I will ask for a paper map next time!!! But it was good for the team to see the difference in the way of sharing the gospel… they understood that his way was wrong and were encouraged to share God’s love even more…they were bold and stepped out and I was really happy to see them love the people, not be shy…but participate in everything… and they all want to come again!!
