Dear Family and Friends,It has been such a momentous week. One of the most memorable things this week was on Saturday when I went to worship team practice. The practice was awesome. All the musicians play by ear and are really talented. I brought my guitar and was playing with them. Now since I don't play by ear the pianist of the group would tell me what key we were playing in. It was a lot of fun. Eunice one of the lead singers has also began teaching me some African dances. I really loved it. Now before practice all the musicians and singers sit down together and pray for many different things. That God would use the few instruments they had, that He would anoint the speaker for tomorrow, and that we would get a better grasp of His grace, and His love, etc. They did this for quite a while before we practiced. It was wonderful.On the way back from worship team practice I got to ride on the back of a moto. Sadly, earlier that day I accidentally left my cell phone in a taxi. I did get it back, which was a God thing ,but at the time I didn't have my cell phone. It was night and getting dark and the people from our church told me that since I didn't know where a taxi stand was near their church, they would give me a ride back. It was dark and they weren't comfortable with me walking alone. Well, let's put it this way. I was riding on the back of a moto, holding my big guitar in it's hard case with a book bag and purse...It was a sight let me tell you...lol. Even though there were times I didn't see how we would get to where we were going, because of how scary Malians drive, I still made it home in one piece, another answer to prayer:).
One of the girls from our neighborhood and I I love the worship at our church. And the people in our congregation love Jesus so much. It makes me want to be more thankful . I was born in America and my opportunities are endless compared to the Malian girls ,my age, here. I am truly blessed. If the people at Bakojikaroni can worship God with an overflowing joy and thankfulness in their hearts, I can too.
Thank you for all your prayers and support.Blessings,Cami Lynn
