A few weekends ago, a group of us from the ship were able to help out a YWAM group in Togo. We went to a large field and had a play day for a bunch of the neighborhood kids. Maybe about 150 were there.
 The kids are so cute! They really look after the little ones too. The picture below. The little boy fell asleep on the ground and the kids around found a blanket and tucked him in it.:)
 One of the drama's for the kids.:)


We had music, dramas, Bible stories,  soccer, jump ropes, a parachute, and lots of other misc. games going on. Then the kids recited Bible verses they had memorized from the previous outreach. Loads of fun and we all went home to the ship filthy dirty.

So now the 3 dentists I've been working with are all gone! But we have new ones to replace them. Such an amazing group of people we have here. I'm so blessed to be able to work with these people. I've learned so much from them.

 For our last weekend together we went to Lake Togo and stayed the night in some bungalows. Super fun weekend! We hung out by the lake and visited some of the local area. One place we went was an old slave house. Thousands of slaves were held in the basement of this house for about 2 weeks before being exported to South America.. Sometimes to North America. We were able to go down into the basement where we could not stand at all. Very cramped and dark. Pretty awful and sobering to view.

 House where slaves were kept in basement. We went down the trap door you see on the floor..


We drove through a flooded street.. It was pretty crazy! I'm sure my car would have died if I took it through this.
