I went for a 2 mile run today (11:20 minutes per mile) with Jamie, Melissa, Danny, Lindsy, and Adam. It was a good run, smelly though. :) The city is pretty dirty, at least the streets we were on. I enjoyed the run. The toughest part was climbing the stairs to the sixth floor (fifth in Zambia) to my room. :)
Breakfast was good. My favorite was the grilled tomato - yum! It's just about dinner time now and this morning seems like it was days ago.
We worshipped at Northrise University, which is right across the street from our hotel. Their choir led us in worship - glory to God. The choir consisted of about about twelve students with amazing voices and they sang accompanied by an electric keyboard. We sang songs in English, ones that we were familiar with, and they sang a couple of local songs in the local language, Bimba. Moffatt Zimba prepared us for communion and we broke bread together. I really enjoyed his sermon and it was very helpful to prepare for both taking communion together and for serving in ministry together all week.
They asked for volunteers to help with kitchen duty after the service. I don't want to help. I guess I am struggling with my attitude. I am pretty tired tonight even though I slept all day.
