Gaffney

We had a wonderful trip to Gaffney, SC last weekend. We were so blessed by the people of the community there and had a great time staying with my aunt and uncle who live on a farm there. On Sunday Brent preached and I sang at Grassy Pond Baptist Church. The church made us feel so welcome and we enjoyed sharing some of what God has been teaching us over the last year.

On Monday we visited the Good News Bible Club at Grassy Pond Elementary School. This group adopted us as their missionaries in the fall. One of their leaders comes in each week and reads them excerpts from our blog so they are very acquainted with us and what we're doing in Africa. They have prayed for us! It was so neat to be there and to meet those kids. They had a million questions and it was fun! We taught them a Bemba song called Takwaba and enjoyed watching them sing and dance.



One highlight of the weekend for the kids was getting to ride a horse. Their cousin Christopher very kindly arranged for the kids to be able to ride and also led them around on the horse whose name was Sagebrush. It was relaxing to be out in the country and to enjoy the beauty of God's creation and the beauty of His people in Gaffney, SC. Thank you all for your hospitality and your encouragement!
