I wish you all could see the reactions we get when we say these words to the locals. It's hilarious. Most people don't know what to say when a white person knows the typical greeting. It starts off Person 1: Sani Bonani (to a group) People 2: Yebo Person 1: Oonjani People 2: Siapeela (I doubt I have the spelling right but you can at least try and pronounce the words from this.

So we did get water and electricity Thank the Lord! Right when we came back from the computers the other day. So it's great to be able to flush the toilet, and have music going when we clean the house.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to be doing for my internship still, but the possibilities are opening up. I talked with the main pastor at the International Church told me he'd ask their maintenance man or a guy who does labor if he could use help setting up some churches and building and making bricks around. So if you could keep that in your prayers if I'm supposed to do that then it would work out.
The Mosque, Down The Street From Our House

Chels and I taught our Jr. High Sunday school class today. It went really well, I had my reservation about them about being quiet and everything but we played a game with them, did a little introduction game, then did our lesson about what comes in is what comes out and used an illustration of soaking up dirty water in a sponge gives out dirty water and even when you go over to the clean water you will still have dirty water coming out, so you need a whole new sponge. Which worked out good, I think the kids got it, we have some very vibrant kids in the group, and there were about 20 there today which was awesome. Yesterday we did the normal youth group with the older students, which were kind of neat; we were more a part of it then leading it, which is a good way to start off. We're going to be teaching them next week some our drimes (the musical dramas) which we need to practice this week.
This Is What Surrounds The Valley We Live In, I Hope Your Jealous ;)
Other news we are going to Mozambique sometime this coming week it sounds like. We are going to get a feel for what it is to work in a refugee camp; I guess it's pretty tough to get in so we are going to be escorted in by a local pastor who will take us to the area he works at. So I hope things go good there, it will be more meet the needs kind of work it sounds like. Working with NGO's and distributing food or whatever is needed. So that will be an experience.
