Just Another Lazy Sunday Afternoon

No alarm to wake up to again! Although, we did wake up before 8, and since we had eaten breakfast before 8:30, we decided to go to the 8:30 Sunday church, hoping for some more songs. Unfortunately, for more than half of this time, we were impatiently listening to sermons in Swahili for 2 hours, most likely about how if you pray to God you will have a great life and what not. We were relieved when church was finally over.

After church, we needed to get rid of the impatience, so we went for a walk around town, finding new trails and places. When we got back, LuRue started editing her pictures and Montana finished her form about the program. By that time it was lunch, which was another dish of rice.

After lunch LuRue continued editing her pictures and Montana started hers. At 2, their bucket of hot water came ready for another African style shower for both LuRue and Montana.

At 3, Montana and LuRue went down to the secondary school to see if anyone wanted to “hang out”. We met Elario, our guide to the waterfalls, who showed us around the school. Simon, Montana’s chief fan, came along. Elario took us to the grounds a little before 4, because that is the time for students to play games such as netball or football. However, nobody else came, because of some problem, so we ended up sitting and listening to American music. LuRue got bored, but Montana was having fun trying to name the songs and artists and dance to them in her head.

After a while of waiting, Elario took us back to the school and into a classroom. Elario had mentioned he wanted to learn Spanish, so Montana started teaching him some Spanish with help from LuRue. (Hopefully Montana didn’t butcher any of the phrases.) It started pouring rain, so we decided to stay until it let up a little. Several Form II students came inside. Luckily, Montana had a pack of cards, so LuRue played a game of Pommern style Uno with a regular deck of cards with the students, half the time having no clue what was going on. Eventually, around 5:30, the rain let up and their tour guides accompanied them to the mission house.

The day ended with another vegetarian dinner...corn, beans, rice, greens, squash and mangos and journal sharing.
