February 19th – 20th

Not the most exciting weekend ever.
We were going to go to the animal park
Saturday but Tom was supposed to drive
and he was too tired so we decided to
postpone it for next weekend. So I spent
most of my time just doing some reading
and some other stuff. On Sunday we drove
to Kagboray (where I’ve gone a couple
times with Solomon) to go to church there.
With the Asher’s, the medical students,
pastor Alfred (the DS) and I there were too
many people for one trip so Tom and I
waited at the house for Karen to take the
other then come back and get us. It’s not
very far, like 7 miles, but it still takes about
25 minutes or so due to road conditions.
The district superintendant was pastor
there and now he’s coming to be a pastor
here at Katherie church and so he invited
us to his last service there. They made us
all sit at the front, which still makes me
uncomfortable and just a little bit annoyed,
I know it’s out of respect and all but I hate
being treated with deference, especially since
they kicked a bunch of kids off the bench to
make room for us. It was a different service
due to the handing over to the new pastor.
After the service they invited us over to eat
at the parsonage. The wife of the new pastor
made the food and it was pretty good. After
we finished, Tom, the med students and I all
headed back and Karen waited there to speak
with pastor Alfred. The rest of the day was
pretty uneventful as a whole, with a lot of
downtime, but with the heat lately it makes it
hard to want to do much. We finished up the
evening with a game night.
