I thought I was going to sleep in yesterday, but I was woken up for a spontaneous trip to church around 6:30. I couldn’t understand a single word, but it was a fun experience. I don’t know if all church’s are like this, but there were two mandatory donations and near the end of service the Pastor came around and was very pushy about donating more, calling many people out. I think I’ll keep going back with the family and hopefully I will understand a little bit more Swahili each time. After church we drove around a bit, Lucas showed off a new site he recently purchased to build a secondary school at. We went by another new site he bought to build a larger and better office/workshop at for his safari business. Then we went to his sister’s home to collect a few chicken for dinner.
(I’ll spare the in between stage)
Once home from church we got going on some chores. I had to do some laundry and unfortunately the dryer feature on their two-in-one washer/dryer was broken so I had to air dry all my clothes. Next we all did some house cleaning, I helped with doing some dishes from the previous day. They don’t have a dish washer so everything is by hand (there are a lot of plates and pots and pans every time 9 people eat). After dishes I read for a while until helping Jovin with his math homework. Then dinner and bed. Apart from yesterday being a calm day, I got to sleep in an extra 30 minutes this morning! Great start to a great week!
