God made…

This past Sunday my church sent all of the sunday school teachers out to the refugee camp to teach the children there. SO, they needed people to fill in at church. Two friends and I volunteered to help with the four and five year olds. I LOVED IT! There were thirty children packed into the room, each jabbering away in swahili. They took turns holding our hands, stroking our hair, and of course asking questions.

There was a Kenyan woman who taught the Bible lesson about everything that God made. The funniest part was when she asked the children to name some of the animals God made. Now one might think a puppy or kitty would be named first. Or in Africa maybe a lion or elephant. BUT NO. A little boy jumps up and says “COCKROACHES”!!
