It was a long, but funny drive down yesterday so no post from Saturday.

This morning Ms.TaNikka delivered a great sermon based on Romans 7 and 8 that had everybody realizing that the persons who probably makes us the most upset are ourselves when we are sinful. We also learned the difference between a Christian habit vs. a lifestyle. Then we broke up into family groups that represented a country that is in Lott Carey. We are in families with strangers, so we ate lunch together so that we could bond and get to know them.

This afternoon we listened to advocacy groups talk about their issues. A representative from Keep NC Beautiful did a presentation on recycling and reducing waste. (We are so glad that our church already recycles.) Bishop Don Williams spoke on ending world hunger and poverty. (With it being a hot afternoon, he didn’t keep too many people’s attention but he was passionate.) We broke up into our family groups again and had regular classes, learning about Micah 6:8. After classes, we all had dinner and talked about our day and the many interesting people that we met or saw.

In evening service, Rev. Robert James preached to us about how fake we can actually be, even though we are church people. The scripture for the sermon was Luke 7:11-17.

The best news of the day was when I (Nayo) accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior this morning. I had a feeling and went for it, and I’m glad I did. It was the best decision of my life. We had a good day, and we have our first mission assignment tomorrow.
