Day 6: Church! (Sunday)

Well, Sunday was a blast! Church in Africa is wonderful! Loud and fun and wonderful all around! Theres dancing and beautiful singing. Everyone gets involved. I mean, wow. God was definitely moving. My dad was giving the chance to give a powerful sermon to the congregants of RezLife church. It was such a cool opportunity for him and he loved it! Kayla and I got to be with the kiddos of RezLife. It was so much fun to be able to sit with them and love them for the morning. After church, we stood outside and had fellowship time complete with laughter and knock-knock jokes:) I was taken away by a little girl. Her name was Diana and she's 6 years old. She took me by the hand, led me away, sat me down, and told me she wanted to pray. That's all. She simply said to me "Let's pray". So much faith and love for Jesus for one so little! I couldn't believe it. She amazed me. After we prayed, she hugged me tight and said "I like you, Miss Bethani. Don't leave us." Her little face is still etched in my mind as I got up to walk away. I never saw her again after that day. Its one of my favorite memories. Those children taught me so very much.
 Let me tell you something about children, just love them. They are precious gifts of God. They are worth every moment of  your time. Children are wonderful and they can teach you so much. Thank you, Jesus, for children.

"But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children'" Matthew 19:14

What's next: Market day for the Adamson Team
