...and made our way down to the worksite to try and find some ‘victims’ there were only a couple of people left on site, most of the workers had left for the day and only the plumber and a couple of his helpers were about...so we lulled them in by first offering them a drink of water.
But our plan was foiled when a delivery of cement arrived. We figured that would not be the best target!! So we waited and waited and waited some more hiding in the building (which has been moving along really well!)
...but it just wasn’t happening. In the end we decided to just be blatant about it...so we sat at the top of our steps and the victims ended up being an unwitting Michael and James as they climbed the steps...most satisfying!!!
We did, however, get very wet ourselves as there was a storm blowing in. We haven’t had a good storm here in a while so we decided to make the most of it...so it wasn’t quite storm chasing...more storm watching...as we sat outside and watched the storms progression over the lake ...
with the clouds and the sky getting darker and darker...then the big rain drops started – after such a warm day it was so cool and refreshing and the thunder and lightening was spectacular as always. Here most people dive for cover if they can find any when the rain comes, so to see us sitting out enjoying the rain is quite novel!!
Today the clinic football team was playing away against Ankaase. So Becca and I headed along to support them.
It had everything a good football game should have.
The clinic had a troop of “cheerleaders” along the side shouting and cheering for them and they even went all the way round the pitch singing when a goal was scored.
There was a brawl amongst the players because of a decision made by the referee.
There was even a pitch invasion with a local goat wanting to get in on the action!!...or maybe it was the Ankaase team mascot.
It didn’t do them any good as there were only 2 goals and they were both in the favour of the clinic...YAY!!
The team celebrated all the way through the village and all along the road home...a great victory.
The great thing was that spontaneously during the match the troop of cheerleaders would begin singing ‘Daa na se’ (thank Him) or ‘Me Nyame ya’ (my God is good) singing songs to God...a great victory indeed.
"No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us." Romans 8:37(NLT)
