Sunday in Nacuia -- by Meg

About three Sundays ago we went to Nacuia to visit the mission church there. 

The last time that we visited Nacuia was in October last year. 

They have done lots of work on the church building, and they are continuing to grow in numbers too. 

Their new church building. 

I was asked to teach the children after we got there. I had already gone ahead and packed a little bag of coloring pages before we left Nampula. 

It is very normal to be asked to teach or preach on the last minute. 

I wasn't very happy that I had to step up and be the leader again,

 but the kids were very sweet so it wasn't that bad!

Mom was able to teach the ladies

Dad was asked to teach the youth at the last minute also.

After Sunday school you go back into the church and everyone tells what they learned.
I taught my kids a song, and we sang it when it was our turn to tell what we learned. 

Lots of times they will get a child to take up the offering.
It is not unusual for people to give an offering of food or crops.
This day two ears of corn was part of the offering.

It was a beautiful day.

Eating rice, beans, and chicken two weeks in a row!!

The road home!
