Sorry everybody I missed this one in my email. It will be out of order especially considering how things ended with Hunter but I wanted to post it anyway.

Sorry again

November 1st

I don’t know why, but I really love that it get’s totally dark here. I walked
around the house in the dark the other night, it was an interesting experience.
It’s hard to get absolute pitch black in the US because of all the street
lights, or factory lights or whatever. Pitch black even after your eyes adjust
is so cool, and for some reason it reminded me very much of walking with Christ,
you can’t see the path, but you know that there is a way to go as long as you
are willing to trust in Him. You may stop occasionally, afraid that you’ll run
into something, but you just have to keep trusting and push on. It’s not really
a good example, at least I can’t explain it very well, but I thought of the
comparison regardless. It’s still raining here, though everyone here swears it
shouldn’t be, it just goes to show weather isn’t something to be predicted. The
people have been filling in the holes in the road getting ready for the hospital
celebration that begins Thursday, sadly this rain has already washed a lot of
the dirt out of the ruts and holes they’ve filled, so they’ll have to do it
again. Today I was pretty stressed out, it started really well when I got
Hunter, my new rabbit, but he doesn’t seem to be doing well and I don’t really
know what to do, a friends mom said to feed him sugar water so I’ll be trying
that once he calms down some more. I got him because Abu captured him at one of
the agricultural project farms and rode a BIKE several miles from there to the
house with the poor thing in his HAND. The thing is practically shell-shocked.
I’m hoping it recovers and survives because it would make me very happy. Also, I
saw a dead body today, which kind of threw me a bit since I don’t much like
seeing the dead. Someone died in the hospital today but neither Karen nor
Rebecca knew what had happened. Update: I got little Hunter to drink some sugar
water, it makes me feel much better. I don’t want to get my hopes up, especially
not until I’ve at least gotten him to eat something substantial. But it’s a
relief regardless. I think that’s all I have for today really, it’s been a
pretty good day overall I think.
