Friday and Saturday were clean up days for all the destruction that happened with the high winds on Thursday evening. It was great to see GO staff, World Race team and Samaritan's Purse staff all come together to help Friend Ships pick up, move and store all tents and items that were under the "circus tent" that blew away. They were able to salvage the big tent. They took it apart, folded it and stored it on pallets until the boat arrives to take it back to the US for repair.
Saturday afternoon a team of 10 arrived from the Tupelo/Ponotoc, MS area. What a great group. They represent 4 churches. The pastor of Woodland Baptist preached in David's place at TiTanyen on Sunday. He was so funny. He told them he had never had the opportunity to speak to such a large congregation....over 1,000. Sunday afternoon we took them for a tour of PAP to show them area where the earthquake hit the hardest. Later Sunday afternoon we went to a village about 6 miles north of our compound. They gave out some soccer balls, did balloon animals and gave out sacks of candy. What a great area to do this....small and didn't get mobbed. As we were leaving the lady we went to see invited us into her home and insisted we stay for something to drink. I told her we had to be back for Bible Study but she told me she had already prepared something. When we all crowded into her home she served us cokes and packages of crackers. The team was humbled. Isn't God good??
