The Last few days

Hey everyone things here have been going pretty good, aside from still not having my container…Other than that its good.

Saturday Elijah and I went out to Bureh Beach to do some fishing and catch a few waves. I fished for about an hour and after losing one of my power baits that looks like a real fish I decided to call it quits and do some swimming. The weather was not so fair and the waves were rather large, like knock you down when they are breaking and skin both of your knees off. That didn’t stop me and Elijah though and we swam for about an hour and hung out on the big rock on the beach until our fish and crab legs were ready to eat. The food was delicious and the coke was refreshing and while we on the rock eating the sun actually came out and shined on us the entire time we were eating.

Sunday I went up to Wellington to church to the combined service where all of the church branches come together at the first of each month and share testimonies of the past month and all of the pastors take terns deilivering the message of the day and then Pastor Hassan finished the message. The service was good, every 210 minutes of it!

Today I had to go into town and I was lucky enough to catch a poda poda with individual bucket seats, the only problem was the was 4 seats per row, and you guessed 5 wet people the crammed in out of the pouring rain…You see this is fine as long as traffic flows well and there is a breeze, but when sitting still for half an hour in freetown traffic it effectively turns into an oven; this is due to no air conditioner and all of the windows being rolled up. Why you ask? Because its raining.

I got back at around noon and helped start the foundation for the chicken coop and hopefully by tomorrow we will have the foundation made.

Tomorrow evening Jesi is coming to stay for a couple days so I made a run into waterloo to get some groceries. I am going to prepare the gravy my Grandma forced me to take with the local sweet bread and whip up a couple omelets Wednesday morning for us to eat! By the way Grandma thanks for the gravy it sounds really good right about now! I have been making omelets every morning with spam, onions, and peppers with some really fine coffee. Life is good.
