Well I just finished dinner. I walked across the plaza..by the well to the Satellite dish...as I gaze up...especially since there is no electricity...There are 10 bizillion stars in the sky...big and little dipper, milky way. O Ryan. The sounds of the African night are alive.
I did my wash in a tub..man it takes 6 rinses to get clear water.
my day started with walking Hannah the delightful young women to the hospital for a stitch in her ear. The curtain rod in her room fell off the wall and lacerated her right ear. I thought about doing it myself but I did not have any local and could not bear doing it without. So I supervised!
Then I went down to say goodbye to Polly, she is the force behind the women's coop. Then my ironing no larvae for me!!!
Then some boys gave me a drum lesson...I'm pretty bad but it sure was fun.
Then the orphans have mass on Tuesday evening at 5. Here I am sitting in a room of adorable children who all are orphaned and whose future is really bleak..I burst into tears...with no where to hide. The children are all staring.. and I can't stop sobbing with my face in my hands. Finally I stop and realize a 2 year old had fallen asleep on the floor with in reach so I scooped him up with out waking him and hugged him for dear life...he snored but I felt better.
More goodbyes...I now want to get the goodbyes behind me ...the hardest yet to come ...Tino...and survive the long journey home.
