Work Day in Omulunga

Today Cameron and I went to do some lite construction work in Omulunga which is right out side of Grootfontein. There is a government school there and another SIM missionary feeds around 700+ kids there every day. So we were helping to repair a door, a wall and some holes in the floor of the cooking area.

The cooking is all done in three large kettle pots by boiling water with wood fires. The kids eat a substance that is like grits, made of corn meal and vitamins and minerals are added to it.

We worked a half a day and got most of the work completed. Cameron was a great worker today and the kids in the school loved watching him mix the mortar for the brick laying and for the holes we prepared in the floor. He is now a full fledged missionary. At one point some of the older kids that were watching us work called Cameron over and started asking him questions about where he was from and about his family. He was not shy at all and had a good conversation with them. I was quite proud of him today.

Yesterday I also had my first meeting with the Hostel (Boarding School) girls and it went really well. The girls get three hours of free time on Wednesday afternoons and could go in to town or do whatever, but 25 of the girls decided to spend an hour with me in Bible study learning about Christ! How cool is that! I am really looking forward to working with them each week.

Here are some pictures of our work today.

God bless!
