Hippo Lakes Second Full Day

The day began with sad news regarding my father. My sister texted to say that there was a call from my stepmother's phone. It was my father's hospice nurse. Petrea indicated that my father was not doing well and would probably pass from this life soon.

With a heavy heart, we made our way to breakfast at the lakeside lodge. This was the first time that we have eaten at at this lodge. It has a beautiful setting right on the lake.

After breakfast, we walked with Bob Williamson to the campus lodge where we had church service lead by Martin on the lawn. Many staff members attended the service. We were treated with some African Hymns. It was a beautiful service.

We then got a tour with Jim, Cheri, and Wesley of the various models of tents and guestrooms. The rooms for the Pastors are amazing. I am thankful that TEN treats these men so well.

Lunch was served at the main lodge. Shortly after lunch, Dale, Jim and I were sitting at a table when the text came in that my father passed at 3 AM.

Bob and I headed back to our tent and I spent time processing.

We met the recently arrived people who would be joining us for this next week.

We then had dinner at the marquee tent.

Bob and I retired early.Leggi altro
