life in Africa is very very different from home. i'm reminded of this daily! everything from power outages everyday sometime lasting all day to the simple smells or even greetings.
in Africa a good portion of a conversation can be taken up by greeting someone (sorry kris, in Uganda :P). first there is the how are you sentence, sometimes followed by praise god, followed by thank yous or your welcomes followed by oks. its a crazy thing. i swear i spend more time saying hello or good bye then doing anything else!
todays been hard. each days different some are easy some are hard. i started reading a book today though called "crazy love" and every page i read i have been in tears at. its a comfort to me and so hard to put down. i really encourage people to look into reading it. i think it has a message for anyone regardless of where you might be in your life or in the world. books are sometimes all i have for things to do. when the powers out my computer doesn't work because i have no battery so all i can do is read or listen to music. this can be difficult cuz it means my mind can wonder.
today i'm preaching to the kids at chapel, i honestly haven't a clue on what really, probably on how amazing god is and how important it is to follow him and give our lives to him. and at some point we will be cooking grasshoppers for the kids which they will love
grasshoppers are actually pretty good. i had them yesterday the texture and taste is basically chicken. so there not half bad.
i dunno what else to write right this moment, i'm not feeling overly motivated to write today lol today is a day i just wonna curl up and sleep or listen to music haha.
