Saturday Adventures...
Today we decided that it would be a good idea to walk for 3 miles over a mountain to a waterfall. That was about an hour and a half each way! I was so dead. Oh yeah, this is Ana writing. My knees were killing me by the time we got there but it was soooo much fun once we finally got there. The way back seemed much shorter but my knees hurt a little more than they should. After all that we went to the market. Oh yeah... sorry if I say that a lot... Every girl had a "stalker"(one of the boys) for the day for protection from other guys. As we found out it was a really good idea. Mark bought a machete for $5. then we all (well a lot of us) went to go get them to. In the end just out translator went for us all and got a whole bunch of them. In the afternoon we had another mission day. We went around the compound working. Some people washed the Gran Moun feet. I went to the Miriam center and to the Orphanage. It was really hectic and a lot of kids didn't want to sleep at nap time. The evening was pretty relaxed and we had devotions. The people doing praise and worship had a woman who could really sing and a ballet dancer. It was amazing. To my dad's interest and maybe some of you other people out there, one of the songs she danced to was "As I went down in the river to pray" by the "Oh Brother Where are Thou" CD. Anyway I think some other people want to write today so I will say good night.

That song makes me cry, we sang it in eastman choir once.
ReplyDeleteWhat, 5 more days? 4? I, too, can't wait for your return.
It should be noted that when I read this blog and look down at my keyboard (well, at anything, really), I see dark lines in my vision. It's probably the background. Now I have a headache.
