Happy Sabbath! The other American missionary and a local here were very patient dressing us in their sarais, which is quite a complicated process. Then we went to church and messed them all up with kids pulling on them and sleeping on our laps J Oh, and did I mention Lisa and I had our first story-telling opportunity in Sabbath school? We are sitting there with the kids and they ask us to tell a story, so we start telling the Joseph story. All is going well until we tell the kids Joseph’s brothers found his cup in their sack and took it back to Joseph saying “Here, we didn’t take this but we found it in our bag and it’s not ours”…..not the soldiers came after them and searched their bags for it. Woops! Um….the missionaries may need to brush up on their bible stories J I have a feeling we will have plenty of opportunities to redeem ourselvesJ
It was raining again after church, so lisa and I and 3 other local girls went up on the roof and hung out in the rain! That is, until this peel of thunder exploded and sent us screaming downstairs. The storms here are pretty exciting! A few of the staff here that know Enlgish were patient enough to teach us a few words on the balcony tonight, until we began what I’m pretty sure will become our first major embarrassment here. More to come when it happens J
