Still sorting through all of the boxes. The chief's wife brought back our plate with some eggplant and some small green peppers. Later, Moses brought by some more green beans. We have fallen into a little bit of a routine. We wake up to a beautiful sunrise over the ocean, and Aaron goes to pump the water up to the roof while I start the coffee. We have our Jesus time (hopefully the kids don't wake up before the bell around 6:30). Aaron heads over early to the morning prayer service so he can have some time alone, then I bring the kids over. A few mornings, I've stayed home, but sometimes one of the big kids will go even if I don't. The men and the women sit separately, but the kids can sit on either side. After morning prayer, we eat breakfast and tackle more cleaning. The kids alternate between bringing buckets of water up for laundry and playing with the village kids while Aaron and I continue to unpack. We try to eat an early supper because evening prayer starts around 5:30, and we want to have time to snuggle with the kids and clean up dishes before it gets too dark. Knowing that the bell will ring early in the morning makes it easy to go to bed early!

Benjamin went swimming and fishing with the boys today. Last night, the next door neighbors had the generator running and played American Country Western music until midnight! What do you think about the huge crab ("kaful")a neighbor brought us? It was still alive and it filled up the sink.
