We visited the congregation at Nanjuni this morning. This congregation is located east of us on the Gnani Road. This is the road where the big trucks haul gravel and sand all the time. It is pothole heaven! We arrived early but it allowed us to look over their new church building before services started. It also afforded us enough time to visit the chief.
The metal table with the lace cover and table cloth was among the gifts that we took to the congregation. The Church verbalized their appreciation for all the gifts. When asked what subject they would like me to speak about I was given the topic of “Worldiness”. That can be a broad topic but I tried to keep it simple: Still, Kandie said I was a little long winded. It’s like the old proverb “The brain can only absorb as much as the seat can endure!”
After leaving Nanjuni we made our way back to Yendi. We had scheduled to meet Brother Divine at his house in Kpamang around 1pm to have a Child Center board meeting since Timothy was already going to be with us. After our meeting Divine showed us the cement urinals they are building at the church/school building. Then we went down the road 500 yards and turned and drove back in a field where he showed us a pile of soybeans he had harvested. The pile was 8 ft. tall and it was 25 feet wide. Soybeans are harvested by pulling up the whole plant and piled out in the field. Then the farmer hires a shelling machine to come to shell the soybeans and then they can be put in 100kg bags.
The masons have 3 of the 4 rooms plastered on the inside. Hopefully the building project will be finished by the end of the week. We have been using bagged water like it is going out of style. Each bag has 30 small bags containing 250ml. We rotate three freezers to keep cold water for the workers. This is a treat for these people because this usually doesn’t happen around here; people drink cool water, not cold.
That will do it for today. We will be very busy this week and next trying to get everything in place here for our departure home to our family in Alabama on December 1st.
Thanks for your support. The people here really appreciate what you’re doing for them. May God bless!
In His service,
Stephen and Kandie Taylor
