Day 14 Worship and Pretoria
16 January 2005
Dear Blog,
The trip is over halfway over and none have lost a limb
So I thought I'd spice things up a bit with this little poem
At half past seven, leaving behind no one
We met our affiliate at the nearest Engen Station
After several resolutions, we hurried up to wait
Not wanting to be at church too early or too late
The Mamelodi Church exercised our heart, soul, mind, and strength
All in three languages and in quite a reasonable length
The hospital was next, but thankfully not for need
Our friends at church gave an unforgettable tour indeed
Next stop was church headquarters to learn how money?s spent
Finally to the Union Buildings, a major player in government
When all was done we went back home and some went in the pool
A nice time of relaxation in the breezy cool
The nighttime proved more presentations and a time for thought
We are certain to come home with much more than what we brought
New resolutions and higher goals to aspire:
Never-ending knowledge, inspiring passion, and a ceaseless desire
For the people of South Africa, it is plain to see
Pressed with poverty, crime, injustice, and disease
I ask you to fold your hands, bow your head, and pray
(Other than that-Hi Mom, I'm OK!)
