next day's entry
Dear Journal,

Ok there are NOT 203 days in April lol... Neways, continuing on...

Reception... Was nice... Got very sugared lol.  Oh somewhere between the end of Mass & there I got my camera back & Albert told me he'd taken the whole roll lol...that's fine though.. I cant wait to get them dev.  Well, I told you Mass ended at 11:30.. well at 12 we were still doing weddings.... I got home at 12:45.. just barely before curfew lol.. (& yes, obnoxiously enough... I have a curfew... never had one at home growing up.. pero here, at 22, I do :P) It was great though.  Not sure when I got to sleep exactly.... I had to be up around 7:30 though (although I slept in a little longer) to go to Mass this morning. Yeah, I know.. it's at 9... pero being in the choir has one disadvantage.. we get there between 8:15 & 8:30!  Mass this morn was nice too.  3 babies got Baptized.. they were adorable.  I'z laughing cuase the first poor baby.  They Baptized him butt naked!  He's young enough though that it worked (I'm guess a few months at the oldest).  After Mass I went outside to sell rosaries agian (see here's where mission stuff comes in lol..well one place).  Got some of them sold...  a few more people asking me to bring them back next week. Joked around w/ Mike in there too.. he came out & was looking at the pic's on my sign & so was Angela.  Angela was asking about TZ & Mike said he was Tanzanian "a little bit"  I gave him a look (He's from Kenya) & started to say something... & he got this teasing look on his face & said "I speak hakuna matata" & I started laughing & said "hamna shita" & then we went back & forth w/ those two for a bit until Angela asked us to translate lol.  It was fun.   Then I waited around till the next Mass & did it all over again.  This time we had 3 slightly older kids (I'm guessing ranging from about 4 or 5 yrs. to 11 or so) Baptized. 2 of them, the girls,  are the daughters of one of the ladies who was Baptized last night.  So that was really cool.  After Mass... I went out to sell them again lol.. & got a few more sold & a few more "can you bring them back next week"'s...  Afterwards Ron took my sign, is going to make the lettering more bold & fix it so it won't keep blowing away lol.  & he asked me to come by sometime this week to figure out next week.. so I guess I am doing it agian lol.  Oh.. while I was selling the rosaries after the 11;30 Mass.. Jennifer's family came up.... (that's the Mass they go to usually) & bought one... & we were talking & Sister MaryAnne came up & was talking to us & Wanda (Jennifer's mom) said that if I have any leftover she would buy them "even if it was the whole box".  I thought that was so sweet....  I so wouldn't ask them to do that, pero it was sweet of her to say.  I'm determined I'll get them all sold though.  When I got home, I counted everything up.. I got $75 today so added up it's $1957.44... not bad.  Of course, it's not counting the $25 that I know I have from Ang (my old roomate) at Heath & Barbara's church... or the $12 from the rosary that Dustin picked out.  (with those I'm really close to the big 2000)  So yeah... that's my day in a nutshell... not counting work tonight lol.  Other than that...

I got a check in the mail on Good Friday (right after getting some cool news about getting published in the UK & then going to Church to pray) from Ang (the old roomate I mentioned above)"s grandmother.  Was for $25 & was very sweet. I completly wasn't expecting it.  (which is always the best kind of thing)

Also,  we had a mission meeting last night that Barb was in charge of.. now, obviously I couldn't go (Like a certain family get together the same night: sorry guys!) so I have no clue what happened. I'll tell ya when I find out.

Hihi... Next Saturday I have a surprize for the team, for our meeting,  pero I can't mention it on here yet... in case anyone reads this....  I'm really looking forward to that though :D

Well, I guess I'd better scoot... nitasema kwaheri!
