"We do wake up each morning at 4:30AM by the guy calling people to prayer over the loudspeaker at the mosque right outside the wall near the house. Other than supper at Bishop Nyiwe's home I'm not sure much is planned for the day. The train group will leave for the train station around 5PM. I may walk around near the compound and see what I can see. I would like to walk by the hospital to see it in operation on a regular business day. The day we toured was a holiday.
As I toured churches with Bishop Nyiwe and his assistant bishop I could see the pride in their faces for their churches. They were not proud so much for the building as they were for the people and leaders in their churches. We were standing in structures that ranged from mud brick walls with thatch roofs to pretty nice and large modern buildings. They are proud of the catechists, evangelists and pastors who are working hard to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people in the villages. Many of these people are Muslim.
Well, I'm looking forward to traveling back to you. See you soon!"
