Yesterday I got together with Emmanuel, a friend from Calvin, and some of his friends. We had a good time and I had some excellent food, including ice cream - Andes mint and chocolate chip - and cake!! Seriously, ice cream has never tasted so good!!!
Last week I worked in the library, visited two different schools, played a soccer game, went to the market to buy a jacket (it's surprising cold here some days...), and got measured for my dress for a wedding. This wedding is on August 15 and apparently I'm in the wedding...even though I hardly know the people who are getting married. Hopefully I get to know them at least a bit more before the wedding. The dress is just like a typical American bridesmaid dress - it's maroon, satin and it's long. Luckily, it's much cheaper than a dress back home, so I don't mind having to buy it. The school that I visited on Wednesday is called Rehema and it is in the slums. Jenni and I taught a CRE (Christian Religious Education) class together and then we ate lunch there. This school was pretty crowded and I can't imagine how hot it is in the classrooms during the warm season, since it was a chilly day and even then the classrooms were warm.
This week, please pray for my friend, Nancy (the librarian), whose grandmother passed away yesterday. She is traveling to her home village this week for the funeral, so pray for safe travels for her and the rest of her family.
