We had a great dedication at the school today. We got there and we're greeted by the church members singing. They had a number of speakers from the Union and Conference to thank the group and the headmatron from the orphanage had a presentation as well.
The members presented us with gifts today. That is always very humbling as they can least afford to do so, but want to show their appreciation.
Our group had the worship service. I was originally going to preach, but was impressed to ask the group if anyone else wanted to. The youngest member of our team, Israel Nunez who is 17, wanted to preach. He did a great job today and all were blessed.
We headed back to the dorms for lunch which was hosted by the Union. On the way back, one of our volunteers took a picture of one of the police officers at one of the numerous checkpoints along the road. They saw it and halted the bus and took him off the bus. They wanted to arrest him! Some of the locals traveling with us intervened and he got off with a warning. He was lucky! It took about 30 minutes.
Once we got back, we thanked our local team members with their team shirts and headed to Victoria Falls. We had a great time in Bulawayo and will always remember this project.
