It's All Good

Because of Montana’s debit card being left in Iringa, instead of doing what everyone else did today, Montana and LuRue got to take another 2-hour drive to Iringa. Luckily, they were able to retrieve it. After the retrieval, Mohammed dropped Montana and LuRue off at the Hasty Tasty for lunch. They split a very good (no sarcasm) dish of garlic fried rice, chicken, and Naan bread. Then they went to the Internet café, posted their latest blog posts, and checked their email. During this time, Mohammed was doing something with the car.

After everyone was done, they all left to drive back to Pommern. This time there were two guests in the car. They were both pastors. LuRue talked to the one that was sitting in the back.

Once they got back it was about 4 o’clock. LuRue and Montana spent some time unpacking their stuff and rearranging it in the way they want it. At 4:30, everyone had gotten back from their walk, and Mohammed taught a little Swahili to us. Some of the stuff we learned was:

Lala Salama- sleep well

Tembo- elephant

Jina lako nani? –What is your name?

Polepole –slowly

While everyone else went to a shop, Montana and LuRue went for a short walk. They got attacked by kids on the whole walk. They were very touchy and grabbed onto them following them wherever they went. Especially on the way back. Some of them played a little game of spank the Wazungu, (which means white people in Swahili).

When they got back, it was pretty much time for dinner. For dinner, there was some cooked veggies, rice, and beef, which was, on a scale of -5 to 5, above a zero for both of them. Now, they are ready for their first volunteering experience tomorrow.
