<br />
But most especially gratitude to the people whose pictures and stories appear in this blog. I pray that I have been considerate and honored you and the journey. Life changing, life enhancing, life giving it has been and will continue to be for me. I hope that my footprint has been light, and my heart print loving. Thank you. I send my love.

These pictures were not taken on my last day in Namibia. It was Monday, my last day in Ojtiwarango and I was not to leave Kalkfeld until Wednesday and Namibia on Friday. But it was the last day for my dear little camera- a wonderful gift from Linda and Gordon that lasted almost exactly one year before the lens got bent. But thankfully it lasted until this awesome day to take these amazing pictures. Bye little camera!</div>

It was important to get all the congregation involved in worship together. The children were most faithful in attending and being on time and volunteering! They were the greeters and the ushers. They helped collecting the offering. They participated in the teaching/children's moment where we learned and taught the congregation new songs. They took up and blessed the offering. They cleaned up the sanctuary after worship and then raced around the outside of the building to be first to arrive at Sunday School. Couldn't ask for more faithful members who wanted to learn and grow in responsibility and faith! Here Rowan and Josey help with the offering and in the background Roche' looks on.</div>

We past the Peace which represents as Jesus taught, being reconciled with our brothers and sisters, and all the world before we worship.<br />

At least that is what I thought. I was able to catch a ride with Norah to Otjiwarango to close my bank account. It was a beautiful day and the town has some scenic places, especially the church (NG Kerk) right in the center of town with the blue skies around it.</div>

This is the movie rental place in Otjiwarango. It was not practical for me to rent movies living in Kalkfeld since I didn't know when I could get a ride. But I was able to buy a couple of good ones.</div>

One I highly recommend made in Southern Africa is "Skin." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is based on the true story of a girl who was born to "white" parents during Apartheid- or so they were classified. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The genes in the family resulted in her having dark skin the government classified her "coloured."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her parents fought to have her reclassified "white." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before she married a "black" man she had to apply to be reclassified "black" so their marriage would be legal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a good movie.</div>

I went to the hospital to visit her and four of her female cousins were there. We prayed and I know she is in good hands between the cousins and Heino. I am torn because being in Kalkfeld I will be 50 miles away and cannot be there with Heino and the man needs someone to hold his hand!! Desiree on the other hand will be just fine!<br />

It makes things green for a little while. But then the scorching sun comes out and if it is not well rooted and growing, the sun burns the green back to brown. <br />
<br />
Pray for rain for Namibia and for Botswana and all the places in the world where the plants and the animals and the people need water. <br />
<br />
Conserve water- turn off the faucet when you brush your teeth! Do full loads of laundry and dishes. Plant plants that don't need water and don't water them! Take a five minute shower. Try a two minute "military" shower. Don't wash your car unless you needs to get rid of the salt and excessive grime- not just as a vanity item. <br />
<br />
Okay so, its asking a lot. Try one of these things, even for a day. Every bit helps us be aware we are all just passengers on the ship Earth we all call home, and we need to share.<br />

On New Year's Eve I remembered to take pictures of the congregation but of course took them a little to early. Still some folks were there when we started and we ended up with about sixty with all people visiting family for the day. The left side eventually filled up to look like the right side, but I wish I could show you the people!</div>

It was a wonderful, joy filled service from 11 pm to 12:30 am. At midnight the bell was rung for a long time and everyone sat in silence. There had been firecrackers on Christmas Eve but it was very quiet after church on New Year's Eve- everyone was tired from their family gatherings and party before church and was ready for bed !</div>

Most of the kids (Sunday School and visitors) sat up front on the right side as well as the church members (in their usual seats). The visitors sat toward the back and only a couple of them (children and adults) fell asleep. It was a nice service. I preached in English, we sang in Afrikaans and English and several people spoke about the past year and the coming new year in Afrikaans.<br />

In the winter there were a few. As the weather warmed there were a few more. As the rain came some different ones appeared. Now there are definitely critters we have to watch out for. (And I KNOW they are more scared of us than them, but...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After not seeing any for six months in Namibia, in a week's time I got to see four scorpions. Later people told me there are two kinds of scorpions in Namibia. One is dangerous and one is VERY dangerous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First there was the dead one in the back of the sanctuary on Sunday that got put on someone's hymnal at the end of the service and got a big reaction. (Pastor later asked that those type of practical jokes be reserved for outside of the sanctuary.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there was the one Jaydine and Geraldo stirred up in the sanctuary while we were sweeping. They were in their bare feet as usual, jumped up on the pews and started screaming, "Pastor,"sertgbajcjnme;aft!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At least that is what I heard- it might have been English or Afrikaans for scorpion, but at that point all I knew is it was DANGER! In the back of my head I thought, "What do you want ME to do about it? I am more scared than you two!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I calmly (I surprised myself by how calm I was) picked up the VERY long handled push broom and walked over and beat the thing to death. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seemed like it was in slow motion. I thought about trying to sweep the thing out of the sanctuary but knew it would not solve the problem of it coming back in to the building, or save its life as another member of the church would kill it as soon as they found out I spared it. And all the while I was asking it's ancestors, progeny, friends and relatives, God and all things nature to forgive me for my fear and violence and protect the children, as I imagined the thing jumping upon one of us and stinging. Afterwards I had horrible feelings about being violent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I went over to Helga's house and we were working in the dark putting things away in the garage. I saw another scorpion, again with the barefoot children, while we were using the flashlight to watch out for poisonous snakes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long handled broom, calm, beating, feeling bad, talking to the children about the sanctity of all life and the need to be and feel safe. Teaching moments about violence and safety and fear and God's presence. This time it was not quite as hard but it still felt bad. But then taking a life, even to protect or save a life, should not feel good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I saw this guy while on a walk just as I was going to cross the cattle gate to leave the church property. Dead for no reason that I could see and out baking in the hot sun. I felt sorry for it and realized that death, even by long handled broom by scared Pastor, is part of life.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I imagined how striking it would be alive (no pun intended) in color and in movement. And pondered how it was neither the largest nor the smallest I had seen in the past week, but probably was just as poisonous, AND just as vulnerable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Namibians there are two kinds of scorpions in Namibia, one is dangerous and one is VERY dangerous. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe I met both kinds this week, and still I wish it could have turned out to be a more positive meeting for ALL of us.</div>

It is summer and it is hot. School is out. There are only three of us to play and the days are long. It sun is too hot to walk, run, dance and play outside. (Even two against one soccer is too much for Pastor and the ball got deflated and won't hold air- that happens when you sit on it we found out). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We finally broke down and dug out some movies I brought with me and watched them on the DVD player I bought in Windhoek.</div>

The favorites? Ratatouille and Flushed Away (the rat movies), the Santa Claus (I & II), Elf, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins (the singing and dancing movies). Sometimes we colored or played Uno or Go Fish and sometimes we just watched the movie. Sometimes we had popcorn and sometimes oranges. Sometimes we talked about the movie and often afterwards we quoted it. "Why are you smiling?" "Smiling's my favorite!" "Well now make work your favorite!" (Elf)<br />

On Christmas Eve we held the traditional Christmas Eve service at 6 pm and there were about 60 people there because all the families had visitors for the night. It was a nice warm feeling of Christmas hymns, scripture and story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Christmas Day Helga invited me to come to dinner with the family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were some people whose names I didn't learn unfortunately. From left are Josey, Mani's companion and their sons Emmanuel and ?, then Bloma (Helga's niece), and in foreground Rowan (Helga's nephew).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I brought a vegetable stir fried rice dish. It was not needed. The feast was sumptuous and Helga did most of it with a little help from the rest of us plating things and grilling the meat. From left on the outside, meatloaf, deviled eggs, sausage rolls, snook (fish), meat balls (times two), and fried chicken.

Geraldo, Jaydine and I made Christmas cookies (peanut butter and oatmeal cookies) to give as gifts to all the families but somehow some of them got eaten...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So today we made another batch of peanut butter. (Neither one of them goofed or posed for the camera for a change!) </div>

Today we had Sunday School for two. Jaydine stayed home sick. Lulu is traveling to Swakopmund with her Oupa this weekend, Chantell is with her foster parents in Gobabis until at least January and perhaps permanently, Vanessa is in Windhoek with her Ouma for a week, Sharifa and Cyrill are in Rehoboth with their sick grandma and William is with his Aunt and Uncle and cousins in Otjiwarango until the first of the year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still where two or three are gathered...there Jesus promised to be, there is God, there is love and there is fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I got to hang out with two handsome guys, on the left is Josey (7) and center is Geraldo (9).</div>

Geraldo always gives me a hard time about goofing and making faces in pictures because he knows it will get Pastor's exasperated look and he loves that.<br />

And after we prayed, sang a song, read and talked about the stories (which they have already memorized because of their practice for the nativity play), Pastor got to color too. The lesson on the black board is from the Moses story that got put on hold for Advent. The cell phone picture on the left is for decoding secret messages about the story.<br />

There are plenty of clouds above but they did not stop and stay and did not leave any rain. Kalkfeld and all of Namibia need rain- long, steady, ground swelling, plant nourishing rain for a couple months. We are all praying for rain for all of Southern Africa.<br />

Besides the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa in Otjiwarango, which is actually part of the Kalkfeld church (sometimes called an outstation), there are multiple other churches.</div>

This one is the NG Kerk which is right on the main road downtown.</div>

This is the Roman Catholic church across the street. I think a priest from this church comes to Kalkfeld to do mass on a regular basis. I can not find a way in to the church and have not been able to meet the Priest.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioRm5pQKbMODlUfKO7G75R_ic8XObiNb_uFDe1MwN5g5Ug0mLLoE_K_3XamIQ4Gjp8gUpzaC9nhz9J9xYEuqkvZI6k33_5Z1b6VuBNXtZ-RdssxGzDYn7ZgFOyghRswlFBgy6s-cjQmk8/s1600/IMG_3717.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioRm5pQKbMODlUfKO7G75R_ic8XObiNb_uFDe1MwN5g5Ug0mLLoE_K_3XamIQ4Gjp8gUpzaC9nhz9J9xYEuqkvZI6k33_5Z1b6VuBNXtZ-RdssxGzDYn7ZgFOyghRswlFBgy6s-cjQmk8/s1600/IMG_3717.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a><br />

This is Edna's butcher shop. Edna and Wilbur live in Kalkfeld on the weekends and during the week they live in Otjiwarango so their daughter can finish high school (Kalkfeld doesn't have 11th and 12th grade).</div>

There are some folks that Edna allows to run a braai on the property for lunch. I have been there several times but you have to be there very early to get roosterbrood! It looked like rain so people cleared out fast!</div>

Auntie Lokie with Edna and Wilbur. Edna is moving her butcher shop to Kalkfeld when after their daughter graduates. She will have a shop in the new Kalkfeld "visitors center" which is scheduled to be finished Easter week 2014. It will be a much smaller shop with much less traffic but she is hoping to make a go of it if some of the customers are willing to travel to her there. She is a very generous person and seems to help everyone who comes along, but has found it hard to get good employees and to be commuting back and forth.</div>

The sun didn't come out like Namibia but the rain ended and the clouds made it a nice cool day. This is where one of the other two grocery stores in are in Otjiwarango. On the left is a Wimpy's (like a Denny's), then a pharmacy and a bank. In the middle is the grocery store and then there is a small primarily Afrikaans Christian bookstore (the only bookstore I found in the area) and then a cell phone store and an African arts/travel store.</div>

Looking down the street from the mall back toward the Cafe and the Pep Store. And it is lunch time so there are more people out and about.</div>

In back of the Pick n Pay (one of the three grocery chain stores- I found it interesting that the grocery store my mother used when I was a child was a Pick n Pay!- like going home to Parma, Ohio!) are some street vendors selling fruits and vegetables, milk, candy, cell phone minutes and miscellaneous housewares.<br />

Now we are at the main road and the cross roads of the freeways to Okahandja, (south east) Kalkfeld (south), Outjo (south west) and Otavi (north?). I have been to Okahandja which is larger than Kalkfeld but smaller than Otjiwarango.</div>
