January 16, 2012. Last Day in Split Lake.
Today was our last day in the
community. We head out tomorrow morning. We woke up earlier today and spent all
day at the school again. We switched up our program a little from what we had
done on Friday and this seemed to go over really well. Our team is really
connecting well with the kids here. With today’s classes being slightly older
we started with a camp song and did an origami frog craft with each group. The
kids responded really well and we had an absolute blast with them. You could
tell though that our team is starting to get tired.
After school Jeff and I head back to
Winston’s home for supper. We had some great conversation with him about God
and life. Jeff shared the full gospel with him and left Winston his Bible as
well. Winston seemed really touched by that gesture. He is definitely someone
we want to keep praying for. I think God is doing something in his life and
he’s headed in the right direction but he’s not there quite yet. Spending time
with him though has been really good and I think we’ve definitely encouraged
him. We also gave him a book on various questions about Christianity. “God
bring fruit from these seeds”
When we finished our supper we went
back to Sophie’s and spent the evening laughing and talking with her and
Mary-Jane. We had a fantastic time with
them and we shared so many laughs. Those ladies are over the top hilarious.
They have brought new perspective to what it means to serve God in the hard
times. I’m so encouraged and challenged by the real-ness of their faith. They
have definitely left a lasting impression on my life.
