Marta (and maybe others), I hope you get the title reference of this blog. Mr. Pibb and red vines = CRAZY DELICOUS!
The weekends are much-needed here. During the week days I feel like I am always headed off to a project or to meet people or to run errands. Most nights my friends have to drag me to the Falcon to socialize because I'm so tired. A lot of the volunteers are here for 2-5 weeks so they don't have as many inhibitions about running themselves into the ground because soon enough they'll be back at home recuperating. We do manage to have really nice, relaxing weekends here though. I'm at the internet now, and in a while we're heading to the pool at Keys hotel. The plan is to stay there all afternoon and sleep on a raft in the pool. Its really nice to just lay there and not move or think. One of our Massai guards, Zach, is going to come to the pool at some point so I can teach him how to swim! After the pool I'm heading to Zac and Hayden's for a bit to do some slacklining(!!!) and then I'm going to Claire's for dinner. If I have energy after such a strenuous afternoon, I might go to Glacier, a nightclub/bar with live music, and hang out for a bit....maybe.
Tomorrow I'm going to a new church because one of the volunteers is singing a solo! Someone told the pastor she had a nice voice, and he insisted. Not many of the volunteers here seem to hold religous convictions, but everyone has been going to this church for the experience, and the church has been translating the service for them. I think its been really good and brought up some good discussions.
Tomorrow afternoon I am going to take my kids swimming!!! I'll let you know how it goes if we all survive!

Abby - This is Aunt Carol. I read your whole blog and it is very fascinating. I'm so glad you are putting this stuff down for us! I'm wondering how old are the kids you are working with? Are they the school-aged ones or the younger ones? And, do most people speak English there? I'm not getting the feeling that language is a problem for you. lots of love, Aunt Carol
ReplyDeleteI had heard your blog was entertaining, and I am not disappointed. This is the first I've read this. Your folks had Dave and me over last evening and brought us up to speed. So good to know God has you in the palm of his hand here, there, to the ends of the earth, and always. Love, Deb
