When I got to church today, I found Isabelle sitting under a tree sobbing her eyes out. Her aunty has kicked her out because she 'doesn't need her'. So we spend some time praying together before the lesson. I tried to explain that is wasn't her fault, that she doesn't deserve to be treated like this, that God loves her and cares about her. We will just have have to wait and see what happens to her.
After the lesson we played football together, sorry, no photos, then we went into town for ice cream. It was so good to spend time with her outside of lessons, to show that I’m interested in her as a person, not just as a job.

In the evening I went with Dora to mee with a local group of young Christians. It was a great evening. We just hung out at a bar all evening, with a guitar and tjembe. Proper Christian fellowship. And I met a guy called Napoleon. I know, coolest name ever, except for maybe Admiral Lord Nelson.
