Sunday in Argao, Cebu

Sunday, 2nd October 2011

Sometime during the early hours of the morning Noah migrated into our bed, and somehow he ended up sleeping at (around/between/on top of) my feet. The number of people at the hall has kept increasing as more Bre & Sis keep arriving from the mountains.

Bro Frans is still doing more work on the carport while everyone else is ready for the meeting. The meeting is supposed to start at 10:00am, but we were told that it wouldn't start until 10:30, so just after 11:00am we got underway. I gave the exhort on Luke 10 – One thing is needful. Sis Liza (whom we baptised on our last visit) was at the meeting and she remembered us, it was good to meet her again.

There was a feast for lunch and we ate till we could eat no more (once again). After lunch we held a Bible study on Rocks & Stones. This was followed by Sunday School for the kids. Silas and Eden enjoyed joining in and they were asked to perform some songs from Australia. The merianda we were served was fried banana on a kebab stick. I ended up eating my own, Silas' and Eden's, which is not all that easy when you don't particularly enjoy them.

The big camera came out today, and I fired off a few shots at unsuspecting people. Gradually most people left for their homes, until by dinner time we were back to just the normal crowd. Buddy and Sis Mary-Jane are also staying at the hall while Buddy helps with the building and painting.

Sarah went to the internet cafe to check emails and update the blog. Unfortunately the blog updating didn't work because the computer can't open the documents. Silas did enjoy however watching the other users playing the online games.

Noah was having a ball eating the spaghetti pasta with grated cheese for tea. Silas was putting away an enormous amount of spaghetti until we stopped him.

Noah has been doing some chocolate poos (quite interesting actually, smooth and sticky just like real chocolate) and burning his bottom red raw, the only way to clean him properly is to give him a bucket wash. Once he had his nappy half-off and had spread the chocolate mess halfway up his torso, and onto both hands. Charming isn't it! Lucky for you there are no photos.

I have to pack my bag tonight, tomorrow Bro Frans and Bro Felcris and I are travelling to Bohol, we are supposed to leave at 6:30am.
