March 27th
Last night, I went to the Catholic Easter Church Service with a couple of friends. The sounds coming from the church practically begging me to come in. Singing and drumming and clicking and humming. I’ve never heard anything like it. I ended up just standing in the back of the church for a couple of hours and not staying till the end. They were going to have 3 weddings that night on top of the church service!
On my way home from the church, I didn’t have a clue where I was going. The grass all over town is really long, because it is the rainy season, and you seriously can’t tell right from left. Plus I didn’t have a flashlight, so that didn’t help matters… Luckily, our dog, Poosch, showed up and lead me all the way back.
Today was spent cleaning the house – waxing the floors, killing cockroaches, filling water tanks, I also planted some cucumbers and melons in our garden. The supper with our friends, Billy (working as the Information Officer for the Government) and Kipler (works for the government as the Refugee Officer) and Kipler's girlfriend came over. It’s nice to be finally making friends!!
