Monday morning we went through a large part of the Statement of Faith and Purpose. Todd was gone most of the morning trying to exchange money so that we could pay for our hotel. We started class around 10:30am and needed to leave around 1pm. Obviously we didn’t get a chance to talk to these pastors about everything but Pastor Yumba will continue to have classes with them every other month.
Two of the pastors Amos and Alexander drove us back to the border between Zambia and Congo in their car. It was probably about an hour to the border, and then another two to three hours from the border back to Lubumbashi.
The next day went really well. We had classes for three hours. After lunch we meet with various pastors and committee.
The translation committee has a number of new translations they have finished and published, as well as publishing a lot of other material which had been translated in the past.
Pastor Hubert, Pastor Muzukuza’s son is hoping to attend one of the bible colleges next year, perhaps the one in Tanzania if we get it up and running again, or the one in Nigeria.
In the evening we went out in search of a restaurant. Todd had mentioned one really good restaurant in the city that he and Nathanael had visited when they were here. Todd couldn’t remember the name and although he thought he knew where it was, we kept getting lost looking for it. That night we gave it one more try. When we once again couldn’t find it we ended up eating at the same place we had eaten at all week. It was a good restaurant though so it wasn’t any problem.
