Yesterday we finished our village visits and the night ended with a time full of food, fun, fellowship and laughter as we celebrated Lawrence's 71st birthday. Lawrence is the husband of Christine Norman, Wilhelmina's sister and the director of REAP, the non-profit organization that we have served alongside of in Liberia.
Because it was the last day serving in the villages yesterday, today, Friday started by being a sleep-in morning. We woke up to a great breakfast, had our coffee and we were off to the shopping district. We stopped along the way and we Americans were very thankful to have some seasoned Liberians along who were able to barter for lower prices for the gifts we would bring back home to family and friends. A highlight of the afternoon was a stop at N'yla Cafe. This was a quaint restaurant in an old house owned and operated by Rose Tolbert, Yende Anderson's cousin. The team enjoyed a delicious lunch of fried chicken and jallof rice. I (Beth) declined lunch because of my allergy to gluten. Just a note of praise to the Lord I have been well the whole trip and the rest of the team has had a few bumps with stomach issues but nothing that has stopped us from serving the Lord each day. Thank you, thank you for all of your prayers. Herb and Donna enjoyed a meeting to debrief with Pastor William R. Tolbert III from Zion Praise Baptist Church. We closed out the evening with devotions led by Herb from Romans 12:9-13 and a time of team prayer that we would finish strong in unity and peace. We look forward to a trip to Cape Mount tomorrow.
