Interesting Experience!

Mama H. allowed us to sleep in as late as we would like today; Anna and I both decided that we should only sleep eight hours so that we don't get on a weird sleeping pattern. We woke up around 8:45 and started figuring out how to work things. We were up and ready to go by 10 and gave Mrs. Harawa a call. The plan was to go get groceries...Cypheen drove us to Shoprite and we headed in not knowing what to get. We walked around for about 45 minutes and figured our last stop would be the vegtables; on our way there the power went out in the whole store...we sat there for a bit and then continued to shop by cell phone light! When we were done an employee told us they were still unsure as to when the power would go back on. Cypheen and Mama H decided that we should just go to another grocery store. Since we had already found everything in the other store we made it through finding everything pretty quickly! We then paid with qwacha...that was interesting I think our food cost us 364,000 Qwacha!
On the way home we dropped off Mama, I was excited to see where she lived...except I wouldn't be able to find that back if my life depended on it! Cypheen helped us get everything in and then left. After putting everything away Anna and I had the reast of the day to relax. We had a PB sandwich and then took naps, wrote in our journals and chatted about life.
The naps turned out to be a not so great thing...I was up ALL night! At about 1 I turned my light on to check the time and Anna sat straight up in bed. Turns out neither of us could sleep...so I whipped out the handy Bible and read to Anna. We read Colossians, Proverbs 7, and James 1...Anna said that was enough and she thought she could get to sleep so I stopped and figured that I would be fine as well...NOPE! For the first time in all my life I was unable to sleep! It gave me a nice quite time though!
Sounds of Africa at night...many dogs and one really off rooster who was crowing at 2:30 until I got up at 6; since we had church at 7.
So far today we have gone to church which was amazing! It wasn't a very large church maybe the a bit smaller than Unity CRC and yet more than 10 people gave their lives to the LORD! People here are so hungry for life and find such excitement in the word! That kind of excitement we are missing back home and it was an AMAZING experience to see people on fire for God. Cypheen sang in the choir so Humphery brought us to church; we were able to spend most of the afternoon with him as well as we realized we were locked out of the house because no one had a key for the padlock on the door in the back. Both Cypheen and us girls thought the other had a key. We were able to make it out to the Airport though to pick up Anna's luggage so that was a blessing. Then we brought Toma (Martha's sister...who plays BASEBALL, yes Ryan I encouraged her to continue!) out to her school, she is a sweet girl and I am hoping to make it to one of her games before I leave! Anna and I got really comfortable with Humphery and that was nice since we haven't really had time with anyone else to get comfortable. Turns out his middle name is Thomas...I asked him if we could call him Tommy, at first he wasn't so much for it but later warmed up to it; we will see if I actually keep calling him that! I confessed to him that I thought his name was Ephriam for the past few days said that is why I needed to call him Tommy! haha...well later We (Anna, Cypheen and Mama) are heading out to a couple of "My Father's House's" so Anna and I are both excited to finally meet some of the kids!
