Ndjole

Hola. Adios. Uhhh....just kidding. But seriously, my favorite saying has become Bonjour mon ami! :) So with the Internet down for the past long time, you haven't heard about our trip to Ndjole. We were supposed to stay in a preschool school house but through a miracle straight from the gates of Heaven, we stayed as guests in the mayor's house while he was away on vacation. Which means working toilets and "showers", air conditioning (in one room), and a kitchen. The house was a mansion compared to normal Gabonese homes. I did in fact shower in the river one day, a very stretching experience.

At the site, we dug the whole water line in one day but the next day in church, Pastor Phillipe announced that one woman, actually her husband, didn't like where the line was and the church, not us, had to move about a quarter of the line. It was cool how the church took on a good attitude just to keep their good witness to the neighbors.

Right now I'm actually playing Euchre. We're meeting some fun people. Earlier we went to the market and there we bought presents for the family...and for myself. I bought a dress that's more like tent. It's hugo gynormous- Pastor Scott and I could probably fit in it. It was fun bargaining (Jake calls it hustling...) because I love a good bargain.

Love ya family and see you all soon cause it's over halfway done... P.S. Please continue to pray for us and for our health- that none of us continue to vomit and that our stomachs settle.
