Day 6 - Rain (again...) and really quite cold.
Woke up early to no power. For those who don't know, the question, "Is there any power?" is a very common question in Bulawayo. In a typical week one will have several power-outs each lasting for a few hours at a minimum.
The service at Bulawayo Baptist Church in town started at 10am; and was very quick and very cool. B.B.C. is located on the edge of town, has a seating capacity of approximately 400 people and they have three services on a Sunday - at 8am, 10am and 6pm. At 70 minutes long, this service was very short and to the point. Senior Pastor Jeff Scorziell spoke on the Passage from Ephesians 5:21-6:9. Needless to say, he made it a very entertaining message.
Had lunch with the Scorziell's, Pope's and Adision's. It was a great time to get to know these people.
Church (AGAAAIN - according to Christy). This time it was a youth service - which went for 45 minutes. This church is quite possibly the most hospitable and welcoming church ever. Was invited to ultimate frisbee tomorrow, coffee during the week, a christmas gathering on Wednesday and Andrew was invited to preach next Sunday evening (his eyes almost popped out of his head when Jeff asked him).
Today was just a great day for relaxation, fellowship and meeting new people.

Coffee during the week??? Where? Have you been to Cheryl's yet?
ReplyDeleteMissed you last night, no-one to have coffee and watch Bones with!
You're obviously making more of an impact than we did ... you seem to have been invited to more things in your first week than we did in three weeks!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you start your blog posts with a weather update. It really sets the scene :-) Nah, good on you Alex, keep up the good work!
