Today was another amazing day. I wish that I could send pictures on here but I have been having some difficulty. The internet that is in the house just doesn't seem to be strong enough to get these pictures downloaded to a format that will work. I wish all of you were here with me because I feel like the words I can find to describe this place just won't do justice to what we are experiencing.

We started out the day by heading 2 hours to a church that is up in the village. It was a crazy drive and athough I feared my safety in flying over here, I have learned that I need to fear my life while riding in our van here. We have a volkswagon mini bus (otherwise known as a hippi bus) that takes us around. Basically we drive anywhere we want, honk the horn often and drive as close to the edges of cliffs as possible. It sounds terrifying but the reality is that we laugh more than anything. (sorry Mom, I don't mean to scare you). The scenery that we drive through looks like a National Park with people living around it. There are waterfalls along the side of the road and the scene from the montain tops is priceless.

Church was great. I have never felt so greeted and welcomed in all my life. A lot of children have never seen white skin before so they flock after us everywhere we go. We are like superstars out here. They love to touch our skin, and are fasinated by our hair. There is a lot of touchy feely greeting but so far it really hasn't bothered me. They made us sit in the front of the church facing the rest of the congregation. I don't know as that tactic would work so well at our church back home. The singing was great, I did a little dancing with some of the woman at the church. Not really something I would do in the states but they showed me some pretty good moves.

After church we went on pretty rough hike. The hills were pretty steep and I think I took a few tumbles. Honestly, once again, it didn't bother me. In fact, I loved every minute of it. The views were great and it was nice to walk among the village and see how they walk and the route they take to get water and other supplies. I couldn't walk with my own to feet and they walk with huge water jugs on their head.

I could write all day but the computer is on high demand. I hope I will figure out pictures soon. I love you guys.
