Saturday

Today we began with an outside devotional with Pastor Ubma and a few church members. Afterwards, Pastor Ubma took us on a walking tour of the area around the church showing us the Wesley School for children, the pastor's training class and the center where women are learning the skill of sewing to earn income. After the tour, the real work began of digging the trench for the footing of the next section of the building. The work was difficult and made harder by the quartz vein running through part of the path. No Ditch Witch here just old-fashioned manual labor but the team working together made tremendous progress.

Mallary gave classes on Malaria and TB which were well-received and given to a very attentive audience.

Our day ended after the lunch at 1:30, when we came back, showered and were taken on a driving tour of Morogoro. The highlight of the tour was the Rock Garden which is a beautiful and refreshing park on the side of the mountain. We then had a dinner at the Pastor's house prepared by Ngoye and her family. We have been very hungry after all the strenous work so the fish, pasta, rice and beans dinner was rapidly consumed.

We had a rewarding day of work progress and continuing to build a consistent relationship with the church families and children.
