The team in Bouva

Sorry to leave you hanging - I spent more time in Bouva than I expected! The team was there for 5 days and then Renel & I decided to stay an extra week to spend time with his parents... I'll tell you about our "vacation" in a separate blog entry.

The team left for Bouva/Grand Savande on Saturday morning - we crammed into the Toyota and Daihatsu... I was in the back of the Daihatsu so here's a picture of the Toyota... yes Ashley, that's you sleeping :)



We arrived on Saturday afternoon and had a Church Service in Grande Savande on Saturday night and Sunday morning.







The dynamic duo, Pastor Jim preaching and Pastor Luc translating... gotta love the facial expressions :)













On Monday and Tuesday the team held medical clinics in the Church in Bouva:









The team worked very hard and kept in good spirits despite several team members battling heat stroke. As always it was a great privilege to serve the community of Bouva and Grande Savande!
