May 20, 2012- may 21, 2012      Kozeo (hello) everybody!  I know maybe you're overwhelmed by everything I've posted at the same time, but internets been down for the past couple days and I haven't had the opportunity to upload anything.. Sorry!  It's Sunday evening at 7 and we are getting ready for dinner.  This morning Sarah and I taught Sunday school to the little ones and then went to church.  We taught the children about Esther and how she saved the Jews from being killed by Haman.  Church lasted about 2 hours, which is pretty standard here but pretty long for us being from the states :/.  It's tough because it gets pretty hot inside the church.  Last night I had difficulty sleeping again, which kinda sucks because it's definitely catching up to me.  My body is exhausted and my immune system seems to be getting weak because I'm developing somewhat of a cough and unfortunately it's allergy season here too, which sucks for me :(.  Anyways enough complaining, I know!  After church we had lunch at Katherine's and played with the kids for a little while and then Sarah and I went into town with our good friend Bumba.  The wifi Internet cafe was closed, so we headed to a non wifi Internet cafe which was slow but I got to see my emails and got a few sent out.  I also got to see all of your posts on my blog! I want to try and express to you how appreciative I am for your posts! They're such a blessing to me and a huge source of support and encouragement, so thank you a million times over and keep em coming!!!  After the Internet cafe Bumba, Sarah, and I went to a little restaurant in town for African milk tea (one of the most delicious drink I've ever had- its a mix of African spiced tea and milk).  We are preparing for dinner at the moment, which Katherine has made for us tonight.   Once again, as night falls and it gets close to go home to bed, I started getting anxiety about going to bed.  Sarah talked it out with me again, which helps me a lot.  I decided to try something new while going to bed and turned on a sermon on my iPad to go to bed to.  It helped me so much because it kept my mind focused on one thing.  I also sleep with my rosary at night, which comforts me a lot too. I prayed through my room before bed to build up Gods defenses against the devil.  I slept through the night and felt much more rested in the morning which was great!        Today is Monday, and ended up getting the day off.  We had breakfast at Amanda and Andys and then went into town to do some exploring.  We tried the wifi cafe out again so I could try and upload my blog, but of course they were out of wifi, and unfortunately Internet is still not working in the village :/. While in town we did some shopping around and got some great DVDs.  After town we came back home and will spend the rest of the day hanging out.  Right now, we are actually hanging out with the 16- year old boy Samuel I told ou about earlier and he seems better today than he was 2 days ago, which is exciting and totally a God thing!  I start at the school tomorrow and Amanda will be joining me in the morning and we will come have lunch together back at the house and then I will go back to school after lunch and she will help in the office for the rest of the day.  I'm very excited and hope that I adjust to the heat soon so I have more energy!! Enkutaka (I love you all) and miss you!
