Thursday, April 17 Michael

Drive out was not as stressfull this time. The back of the truck was piled high with our supplies Congo style, minus all the people on top. We did not try to accmplish too much as darkness was falling. We ( Patrick, Eric, Abendego, Alan, Captain, and I) hung out at the front of the truck and an impromptu devotion broke out. Patrick took us to Eccessiates where it talks about the value and necessity of companionship. I was able to use my wedding ring tatoo as an illustration to the scripture.

A mamma came out to cook for us, not our decision, and she made our beds and cooked for us. We ate local congolese food, rice, kasava leaves, kwanga and sardines. Can you say Power Bar? We ate most of the food but had to consider the effects on our stomachs.

Sleep? We had good accomodations especially for the bush. The temp. was mild and I actually used a sheet over me. In the bush you go to bed early with there being no electricity. Best sleep so far.

Pictures to come tomorrow.

Grace and Peace,

Michael
