Last Day in Bo

We are now back in Freetown and we have WiFi and running water, electricity and AC! I want to reflect on our last day in Bo today, since it is fresh in my mind. Then I will cover other highlights of the week in future posts

It is a special day at Agape Free Pentecostal Church. It is their annual fundraising program. They are raising money to tile the floor and finish the ceiling. The members are divided into two teams and have a fun competition. The entire service was about four hours and they had fun! They love to sing! Tim and I were somewhat clueless during the event since it was mostly conducted in Krio.

We took the family to dinner after the service to thank them for all the work they did for us. It takes everyone to make the household work, cooking, cleaning, hauling water, washing dishes…all by hand! They never let us work at all. Even Massah did dishes and served us well.

On the ride home, Massah who is sitting between us is tearful. When we get home she comes to me and begins to sob on my shoulder for awhile. Then she goes to Tim and hugs him. She is breaking our hearts!!

The next morning we see Massah off to school with smiles again.
