Niger - Day 8

This morning we broke into two teams - some went to Kamna again and the rest went to Peniel. At Kamna, Lisa worked with the ladies on sewing again, and started another jacket. Earlier in the week, Lisa taught sewing to the ladies at Kamna, and they had never seen patterns before. It was an interesting experience to see their reaction to using western patterns. In the preparation for a large lunch, all of the work tables were taken, so while waitng, Lisa was treated to a hair styling session and her hair looks really cool - wish I had a picture I could send you right now, but maybe later. The Computer team continued to work on the new cyber cafe and Brian Moe taught one last class to the pastors and missionaries.

At Peniel, we taught more sports and music. Today the music team taught the children the difference between melody and harmony - something that is really quite foreign to most of them. We sang "Praise the Name of Jesus" with hand actions, and it was a big hit. The older kids actually had some natural ability to harmonize with us. We had another wonderful feast for lunch, and so thoroughly enjoyed hugging and playing with the kids. Lot's of pix were taken today, but I do not have the tools to downsize them on this computer, so again, we will send pix as soon as possilble.

As I write this blog, the rest of the team is taking their luggage to the cars, as we will be heading out to the airport in just about an hour. We will be back home on Sunday evening. Most of us can not believe the whole week has already gone by, and we are already leaving these wonderful, full-hearted people. I will try to send one more blog tomorrow if possible.

We miss you all and will be home soon.
Blessings,
Teri
