Well maybe I was wrong about not sleeping in for over four weeks, I slept in today and missed church by accident. The extra sleep was welcomed though. After that I spent the first part of the day organizing my room and book bag and such. Then lunch time came and so did the rain!! And we decided it would be a good time to go play some soccer so Taylor rounded everyone up , and out into the rain and termite infested air we went to play for 2 hours! Ok now the termites... this was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I kid you not, I am not exaggerating, there were THOUSANDS of these flying huge nasty termite in the air. they were all around us and when you looked up all you saw was these nasty bugs! I really had a hard time with it but I just focused on the game and that helped. We had so much fun playing! we were falling and sliding everywhere and when we were done we were COVERED in mud from head to toe. I scored two goals too! :) One of the young kitchen staff joined us too so that was pretty cool. His name is Shaganipo...i'm almost positive it is spelled wrong there but that's how it sounds... at least I think lol.

And tonight ended with a really cool time where the nursing students washed our feet and prayed over us as we get ready to go out this week to our service sites. I honestly really didn't feel like going and was just hoping it would be done quick but it was so good! I am really happy I went. God's presence was there and is was just really peaceful and relieving.

Also I have discovered that my roommate and I are musical soulmates, when she plays her music there is never a song that I don't like. It's crazy but so nice because we both like the same music which is weird because I like a lot of very different or I guess wide variety of music.
