Welcome to Zulu church, where white guys get stuck in the choir and pulpit before they can blink

Hey everyone,
I'm not sure if I was able to give any kind of preview about this, but our trip took a very suprising turn this weekend. I, as well as 6 others on our team, were invited to sing in the youth choir this past Sunday at our church which is all black and entirely in Zulu (the tribal language). Thankfully the two songs we helped perform were in English- Amazaing Grace and the Bebe Wynans version of "o Happy Day." I've heard many a white person say they would love to one day sing in a gospel choir, well let me tell you fristhand it's all you've ever dreamed and more. After chior practice Friday night I was ready to step and slide, clap and make a joyful noise.
Apparently we did such a good job that we convinced someone we should find our way onto the stage again. Next week is youth sunday and they will be leading worship and presenting the message. And by they and I mean Barrett (one of the other guys on the trip) and myself will be preaching next week. When we were asked we thought they wanted us to give a short testimony/ devotional thought, only to find out that we are allotted AN HOUR(!!!) for our sermon. Neeedless to say, please pray for us this week as we try to prepare a message that will translate into Zulu culture and hold people's interest for an hour.
In other news we went back to the orphanage today, which was fun and sad all at the same time. My buddy from last week, Kosi, and I hung out for the whole time. He is five. I pushed him on the swing and he sat in my lap for a long time. We noticed today that all most of the kids wants from us is to be held, hugged and carried, which makes sense because they each receive so very little personal attention. Later this week I'll be doing some manual labor, heling fix peoples' homes in the township and may even do some things to help some of the foreign refugees staying in camps protected form the xenaphobic attacks that have mostly ended now.
As I think I said last time, you can be in prayer for our team as things have become less structured, more stressful, and more likely to cause bad attitudes. Also, continue to pray that God will bring students on the retreat in two weekends. Thanks for all your prayers and I'll be back to update soon.
