The Bush Week 3

Another week in the bush and another week of more yardwork. On monday we did a small bit of painting, while the girls cleaned the missionaries house. That day the guys went ontop of this carport which the structure was made of wood but the roof was made of grass so it was a little scary since my leg would fall through the roof everyonce in awhile. We took off the tarp that was covering it so they could take the carport down at another time. That night I taught mohape how to play solitare and enjoyed the night. Tuesday we did a lot of weeding and yardwork at a different church plot but it felt just like all the other spots we have done yardwork at. This week I started to feel a bit down and looked forward to getting home and was in a negative mood for a bit until I got called out for having a bad attidute. Since then I have been counting down the days till I get back. I have been enjoying my time and looking forward to the rest of the time but also ready to go home...its a weird place to be. On wednesday a massive truck came with a bunch of supplies for the missionary family...The two drivers where from his home church in south africa and had everything from building supplies to batteries to chairs they left in their old house. We spent most of the day helping unload all the stuff. That night we spent a wonderful last night in the bush. They where nice enough to let us sleep in their house and allow us to pack up early so we could leave early for Maun. That night after dinner as an act of graditute and to bless us they washed our feet and affirmed each of us and we did the same for them. The next morning they blessed us even more by making great pancakes...who knew having awesome pancakes in the bush! We then got in the car and headed to Maun which is still a small town but known for being the tourist spot to stay if you want to go into the Okavango Delta. I will talk about that more in the next post on Maun.
