Weekend update!

I wrote this Sunday but here is the update:

I hope everyone is enjoying Father’s day! (Happy Father’s day, Dad!!)

Yesterday was a fun day! I went running in the morning with a nurse from the clinic- its been awhile since I’ve worked out so I am so so sore today! We then drove the motorbike to a village and visited the hospital and the catholic diocese. We got a full tour from the sisters- they showed us the church, kitchen, classrooms and rooms of the children that stay there. While we were talking, one of the children had caught a scorpion and brought it in to show the sister! It was big and gross!!

During the afternoon I did a little laundry and went to the market with Dr Martin’s wife. My dress and skirt were finally finished so I got to pick them up! I plan on wearing them to a wedding next weekend! I will fit in clothing-wise! Yay! I then spent the evening at Dr Martin’s house and hung out with his kids which was fun!

Today we went to a village for church- Dr Martin spoke about circumcision and he had to describe in great detail what it was because many of the villagers had never learned about it before. He used his pinky finger as a visual- it was pretty funny! I got a good picture of him explaining how it works! The service was three hours long, but it was good! We went back to Dr Martin’s home church in N’Dali and went to some meetings so it was a long morning. Dr Martin and his wife help organize microfinance for women here so that they can start their own businesses and earn their own money. So the meeting after church was for that! Pretty cool!
This afternoon I got a chance to rest, drive the motorbike some more (I finally getting the hang of it!) and will go back to Dr Martin’s for dinner. Its been a good weekend!

I hope the internet connection will get better soon- if you don’ t hear from me for awhile, that is probably why! Take care and I will write again soon!
