Yesterday we were supposed to finish our little gift bags and finish our picures about ourselves, and talk about them. What was I thinking? Valuable things I learned were, for example, if someone has never done origami, just telling them to make a really well-defined fold doesn’t mean they’re going to do it. Also, explaining and demonstrating the different steps were a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be, and I ended up having to rescue quite a few bags from looking utterly terrible by redoing the folds. More than one person should have known how it works! So we learn… It wasn’t a bad time though, even though the “devotional” was totally impromptu and a bit rushed, because it was getting late and those of us in the church didn’t want it to drag out too long, because we were still doing a giving a little farewell to Maria, our only female young adult, who is going to Chimoio to study agronomy. Hopefully next week things will be less rushed, and I’ll know to never try and accomplish so much in one afternoon again!
