Day 4
We left fairly early in the morning for the trip to Bo District. The Lord blessed us greatly as the final stretch of the road to Bo had been paved since David’s last visit here. We stopped at Bo (about a 3 hour drive) and checked our bags into the Mount Pleasant Rest House, and proceeded to Lugbu (another 2.5 hours) to meet with the child Don Miller sponsors through World Vision. In Bo we picked the ADP (Area Development Program) manager for Sponsor Relations and his staff member – and yes, the van was quite full.
After a long, bumpy, hot, dusty (and did I say bumpy) voyage, we arrived in the village capital of Lugbu, where we picked up yet another World Vision director for this area. We eventually arrived in the village where we were met by little Edward and a very large crowd of villagers (perhaps up to 200). After a while outdoors we were invited to a more “private meeting” of perhaps 25 family members, and everyone else surrounding the hut. In all the villages, the children were somewhat fearful until we took their pictures, and showed it to them in the screen of the camera. Goodbyes were difficult, but we eventually headed back to Bo for the evening where we spent the night without running water, or most anything else you could think of. But nevertheless, we were so thankful for how we had been so blessed and impacted by this day.
