Today the team headed to Thabong. While there, we visited the children cemetery. Each Friday, 10-12 children from Thabong are buried. The graves were decorated with bottles, stuffed animals, or other personal items belonging to the family. We also visited Motshidisi's (a girl from The Pines) old home and got to meet a few of her relatives and friends. They let us tour their home.
After driving around Thabong for awhile, we ended up at the home of a boy in Louie's Bible study, J.T. They had prepared lunch for us, and we sampled many African "delicacies" including chicken feet and chicken heads. At the market, they call those "walkie talkies." They were very happy to host our team and serve us a meal.
On the way home, we drove by "the dump," where all trash from Welkom is dumped. Up until a couple years ago, people were allowed to live in the dump. Now, they make their home right outside the fence. They sort through the trash for anything worth eating or getting money for recycling.
When we returned home, we enjoyed the nice afternoon by scraping and painting a car port outside and playing with the children.
Praying for peace,
Team 10
John 3:16--"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting Life." Louie's brother, Joe, who had spent the year in China, shared this well-known verse to Louie's Bible study boys in both English and Chinese.
