I just want some Mcdonalds....

Hello everyone! It is Heather and I am still alive and well! I wanted to write about something I saw today plus update you on a few things which has been happening here since last time I wrote! Let see here today we went to one of the rural churches to help out and attend the bible study the missionary Steve leads there. After he taught about Isaiah which was stinkin awesome because he is my favorite prophet. The ladies all got up and began placing items on this table like there was a box of matches, a wooden spoon, some clothing items, plastic litter bottles that were empty, just a bunch of random items. The ladies began singing and circling the table. I was watching this trying to figure out what in the world was going on. Then at one point one of the ladies grabbed something off the table and then the next lady in line and then the next the whole time they kept circling the table and going down the line until everything was taken off the table. I was so mesmorized by this that after everything was said and done I asked our translator who was one of the ladies what that was all about. She began to tell me that each lady brings something they no longer use or something of excess just something that someone else can have or use. The missionary told me they started this after he taught them about Acts where it said that each gave and there was a need. They decided to start this after he taught that. I asked well how do you decide like when to start grabbing and she told me the first person in line get to choose first and then it goes down the line. You are only supposed to take what you need and not anymore. Believe it or not it works. The lady was also telling me that they can use anything for the most part that nothing here goes to waste. The plastic coke litters we throw away they can use for storing milk or other things. Glass jars they use those for preserving fruit. I thought it was rather interesting!
We also since last time I wrote on here got to present to a school. We thought we were only going to get to present to like a small group at the high school only to get there and find out we got the whole school. We only got like 30 minutes to present so Sienna presented and it was about to 300 kids. Afterwards, we had them if they wanted to make commitment to abstain from sex til marriage come get cards from us and kids flooded us. It was so CRAZY! We had a huge stack of cards and still we ran out! It was unlike anything I have ever seen.
We have officially been here a month today! Which is very exciting because Sienna and I talked tonight and we both are beginning to feel like we are adjusting and we actually live here and are not just visitors here anymore. Yeah, we have made it one month and now we have officially 5 more months to go. I am excited to see what the Lord is going to do I feel like there is a lot of potential here. I just pray we can get the wheels moving! Okay, well I think that is about it for now. I am really sleepy and cannot really think at the moment. I miss you all…believe it or not I was craving a Mcdonald’s hamburger and sweet tea today…..
