Hola. Today certainly wasn't dull. Got up at 4:30 & got ready for Church. We were ready early & started to leave pero the gate was locked. After a frusterating talk with a guard (who speaks no English) we realized we were stuck. At 6 he called us over & unlocked it though & we rushed thinking/praying we'd make it for Communion... Got there just as everyone else did. (Note: not written on page, pero at this point we both about went in shock as we saw hundreds of Africans walking in to the Church gates at 6 in the morn... it was awesome) Was an interesting experience. We were the only wazungu (note: means white people) there for one thing. The Mass was a little more traditional than either of us is used to as well. & 2 hours long! It's ok though. I liked it. Would have been better only if I spoke Swahili. (Note: it's not mentioned on the page pero we left a little early, right after Communion to make it back in time. It started raining at this point & we decided to change when we got back becuase we both wore white shirts lol.) Then we went to the waterfall. Hard climb.. when raining... One word.. mud! We slid all over the place! (note: literally, the mud is clay there... There were Africans standing on the sidelines laughing at us as we slid & fell & all...was great)
Pero it is beautiful. Was def worth it. Then tonight we met this awesome lady, who although I don't totally agree with all her veiws (note: ok.. so I almost totally disagree pero that's not the point) she is obviously a very spiritual & just awesome lady. She runs a childrens home here & because of her ex she is being deported. She's going to Dar es Salaam tomarrow for another appeal. We all prayed for her... then sang & prayed with her... Was a little odd cause she did the tounges thing... pero oh well. NEways, as you can imagine I'm exausted. So I'll ttyl.
Bye
