Hello... This is for all those people out there who have been asking for a Blog update.
I am just writting a random stream of information and hope you all can make sense of it. pardon the grammer and spell errors!
So my life in village is coming along- Big NEWS
I went to church last Sunday and plan to go back again tomorrow! I made friends with two sisters in their 20's who go every week. They are wonderful and even helped me do my laundry on Thursday. Handwashing is not so much fun... But I do enjoy removing corn kernals from the cob so while Hellena was washing my clothing I took over on corn duty.
I have a garden- with okra, sweet potatoe greens, tomatoes, cassava, papya and spinich (the chickens ate that thou) plan on replanting this week not that I have a good fence.
I just got a huge package from my family and am super thankfull for everything in the giant box! The bucket with water nozzel is awesome and the beef jerkey was gone in 10min. I cant wait to use the chocolate-peanut butter spread on chapati (local flat bread) - I may save this for my b-day ; )
The other box - "The Johnston box" got charged custom fees... Not sure how I'm going to get around it but a friend said he would help next week- so for now the markers and silly bands will sit at the post office.
It makes me so happy to know that so may people care to hear how I'm doing... and want me to write!
I will be back next weekend to write!
GO YANKEES!

Sounds like things are going smashingly Sarah! Good job on the garden - is it "perma"?
ReplyDeleteSorry 'bout them (damn) Yankees :) Well, they made it farther than the Sox :(

Sarah! I've been thinking about you lots lately!
ReplyDeleteI love reading about what you're doing.
Isn't it amazing just how MUCH you learn about yourself, others and the world in general in the seemingly mundane moments? It sounds like you are so appreciative of this experience, which is just how I thought you'd be. You can see how your attitude shapes everything now, I'm sure!
Keep up the good work, the Swahili and the postive attitude!
Love,
Cyndi
Sarah, I just read this while I was getting on to get your address. What great news! I'm so happy to hear you're doing well and adapting. A Christmas card will be coming your way but not sure if it will get there before Christmas :/ Love you and continue to pray for God's blessing as you serve in TZ!
