This will probably be my last blog, 4 months flies when you are having fun ☺ I don’t know how our internet situation will be once we leave the Land here on Wednesday so I may not be in contact from Wednesday until I get back.

Wake up feeling heavy from the huge meal last night so I decide to work it off by going with Mike for a ride into town to pickup some brick. In town there are lots of people running around with election stuff so the vibe is a little scary but it is okay. After the brick, which is all loaded by hand, I head back to find the internet not working so I just type the ol’ blog and then play cards with the P3 kids that have finished exams. Lunch is mixed in there somewhere and then the kids get out so we go down to the well to pump some water. Its just crazy down there. Everyone is super happy to be done with exams and so it is a lot of fun. We watch “Up” with the kids and they liked it a lot. Before bed

Internet is really bad again but the girls are working through it and we get some stuff figured out. Thank girls because I was just playing with kids ☺ Around lunchtime I post my blog and then eat. After lunch I hang out at the girls’ house and make some yarn deals that they call Whoo-Chee. Hang till dinner, then watch a Nigerian film called Sofia in London. No words to describe it, just look it up on YouTube. Kids love it though. I sleep up at the kids houses in one called Grace.

Suz leaves before church and it are very weird feeling. It just feels like she is in the office or just doing something else not that she is actually gone. We will miss her. One of the dogs here has been pregnant for the last 2 months and she began having her puppies this morning and of all the places, she is having them in the girl’s hut! Church in the morning goes well and then a huge chill fest with the kids. By lunch time it is super hot out, Momma dog has had 10 puppies and one of them died and it still feels like Suz is just on the phone or something. Eventually dinner comes and goes and I get online and get to do some light chatting with my mom because the Interweb is really, really bad. Bedtime!

Get a bunch of small things done this morning; move Momma dog and the 9 puppies to a new location, wash clothes, listen to music, read chat with the teachers about a computer class. Work on some of the film stuff till a new mizzungo shows up. Lauren is 25 and was a teacher in Rwanda for 2 years. Really neat girl. We go and hang with the kids and the girls give Lauren the tour. Eat and chat around the fire with our new friend before bed.

Work some more on the video today and start compiling the really fun shot, which is the kids dancing, 3 cameras and their three mics plus my separate 3 mics, I love it. Watch a movie with the kids at night before bed.

Finish the video stuff for the dance in the morning and it looks really cool and sounds pretty okay as well. Wash clothes before lunch and then after lunch do a computer class with the teachers. Imagine teaching a computer to people that have literally never touched a computer. Actually is pretty fun and they enjoy it. Hang out with the kids after the teacher’s class and spend the night at one of the houses, kids do not have school this week so its been good.

Girls made some banana bread yesterday so we have that for breakfast and its super good. Go to the office and type up some things for the teachers before going back to my room to doze. Eat and then do another computer class with the teachers, this time teaching them a typing program. We have it on two computers so they start to get competitive with each other and its like a kid in a candy shop. After class go hang out with the kids before watching “Flubber” with the kids. They love every time that anyone is getting knocked in the head so this movie is perfect. Bed time!

Do some blog typing this morning and check the internet before heading back to my hut to practice some music. Post blog so rest of the day is the up air.
That’s how it all went down. I might shoot one more update out on Tuesday before we leave the VOH land but after that I’ll see ya state side. Thanks to all who have been reading or if this is your first time, thank you too. I can but cant wait to see all of you and am very excited to hear about what God has been doing in your life the last 4 months. Love you all,
-Collin
