Day 7

The team was back in Debre Zeit today. Christabel's team did some work in the morning digging and preparing the way for a basketball and volleyball court on the Compassion property. Despite the hard and grueling work the team had a good attitude and worked hard.

After that they went to do another home visit where they meet a single mom and her 7 year old daughter. Although the daughter had been a part of the Compassion program for 2 years she had just recently been sponsored. They were able to speak with them about the importance of acknowledging God in heaven and had a time to present the gospel to them. Their religious background was very orthodox so they stressed the importance of a relationship with God as a Father.

Pastor Mike's team did work varnishing the outer walls (which are a mixture of mud, clay and brick) at the Compassion site. They also did some painting on the interior.
They visited a home where they meet a young man who has been sponsored by Compassion for 13 years. He told them he wanted to be an economist so that he could work to help the poverty in his country.

In the evening they went for a hike and played mafia together. Tomorrow they will have a campfire with some Compassion student in the evening.

The update were shorter today, they were very tired and said that the work is good and the team is all doing well, but they are all very ready for bed when the time comes.

Blessings,Heather
