Saturday

Today was a day of rest. Perhaps our last “free Saturday for quite a while, so we took advantage of it by not doing too much. We waited for the guy to come fix our internet (who never came) and we caught up on laundry while we had electricity. Lauren sat outside to get some sun, but the rain clouds came too quickly for a tropical tan to appear! Jon and the girls played a game of Settlers, watched Home Improvement and cleaned their rooms! We played a few games of Uno -how can that game last so long?

We stayed outside with some friends for a while, discussing how crazy the compound will be in a few days (when the hostel kids arrive) and what a joy it will be to have them all back. We talked about how often we are stopped by nail boys and what type of batteries we use to generate emergency light in our houses. We laughed about the various parasites we’ve all had.

After dinner, Jon and Lauren and a few friends headed out to the school to play indoor soccer. Now that Jon is feeling back to normal, he is playing three nights a week with about 30 guys. He loves it!

It has been a good day….perhaps it was the quietness before the storm! School starts in three days……
