As it says above today is Saturday! The staff at CHO don't work on Saturdays or Sundays so there was no devotions today! but we still got up at the same time to have breakfast so that we could get away to start the day earlier than normal!
Today we were at a kids outreach programme at a small village which i don't know the name of! some of the kids were from a proper school and the others from a school on the mat! the heat was unbearable and i felt bad taking out my big 1.5litre water when they all sat with nothing! we started with explaining where we come from as we always do then moved onto the three parable piece (we sound so organised we really aren't) so it was the lost sheep (which the kids get involved in) then the lost coin and then the prodigal son! we played tunnel tig with them but they weren't so keen to be crawling on the ground which i don't blame them for at all i wouldn't either and i was quite thankful that all the leaders were it, so we changed it to toilet tig and had a great time playing that, we then went on to do balloon modeling which turned into a bit of a disaster as we had 60 kid and one balloon pump but hey-ho we managed as we always do in these situations! then using the animal we portrayed Noahs ark in another of our dramatic performances (the fancy way of us saying we got up and made fools of ourselves) last of all we did the paper crosses which are great and so simple!
News on other things that have happened throughout the week:
-1 The boy and girl rescued from Thailand still haven't been found a place and there is a chance that if they don't find one they will have to go back to Thailand
-2 The village that we went to visit called Bos Tom (Big Abcess) has had an outbreak of cholera, our translator today Kosal was taken away to help but there was another translator there so we could continue, this village has roughly 230 kids, all there water is bought from another village as they have no supply themselves!
Please remember these children in your prayers and also the adults at Bos Tom obviously it wont just be the kids that are affected!
The weather is hotter than it has been all week and my neck is paying for it!
Much love Helen xxx

Hope your last day is good and it's not too hard to leave. Don has asked me to talk for 5 minutes in church this morning to give people an update, so I'm about to work out what to say - I've printed out all the blogs since Thursday and it runs to seven pages, so I'll have to be selective! Don't forget the sunscreen on your neck.... Love Mum
