Day 6--1/1/09



2009. In Africa. Today everyone was tired pretty much all day. I was still amazed at the depth of conversation we had in bible study. We met for over 2 hours and the kids were engaged pretty much the entire time.




At this point in the week tensions are mounting and people are starting to annoy one another--counselors and campers alike. I think it has to do with the lack of sleep.




Our midday meal was a celebration of sorts with a lamb roast. We got to eat one of those sheep that was sent to slaughter earlier in the week. It was lovely. The cut the meat with a table saw and also had many vegetables, salads, and breads as well. We tasted marmite (yeast extraction) and all decided that we could do without. I was also chastised for putting jam in my pap (cornmeal hot cereal kinda like cream of wheat). I should have eaten it with butter and sugar or better yet, butter and marmite.




We had a talent show after chapel where the kids did an amazing job with skits, songs, and dance. A bunch of kids did a drama to the Everything by Lifehouse which was very powerful. Andy and I did the "Sin--Don't touch" skit. Andy is a great actor and we had a blast. However, it was another late night...
