Day 5 - Nov 2 - And the RAINS came down!

Today was a very rainy day in Marare. We were able to do 2 more sponsor home visits with Gary and Chris. We spent time sharing more Northgate sponsor videos and the children and parents thoroughly enjoyed them. Jenni got to spend more time with her sponsor child while watching videos and Jenni showed her some pictures of her family. Diniz's sponsor child immediately greeted him as he got off the bus and wouldn't leave his side. They spent the morning watching sponsor videos and getting to know each other. Manjeri liked the pictures of Diniz's family, especially the snow.

We went to the funeral of Bill's sponsored child's aunt. She was only 40 years old and died of kidney cancer and leaves behind 7 children. Please pray for the family. One of the children is sponsored by someone at northgate we do not know who at this time We had a fun time at the FH office learning a song (Rita posted the words on Facebook and Jenni posted the video). It was lots of fun and we hope to be able to sing it for Northgate. Several team members became sick. John and Bill both had stomach issues (Bill is now feeling betterand John is still resting). Deon and Jordan both had bad headaches and feeling tired but are both better. Keep us all in your prayers regarding our health issues. The foundation for the new building is dug and filled with rocks. The concrete will be poured early next week. Tomorrow the team gets to go to a double wedding. We are all very excited and honored to attend. Blessings from Marare and Team
