AFriCaN RaIN

SOOOO yesterday i blogged that it was beautiful and sunny and warm and thennnnnn haha.... the weather here changes soooo fast. Mamello and i decided to walk down to the mall thats close by and it was beautiful and warm and loverly. and then while we were in the shops the wind kicked up and it clouded over. by the time we walked back it had really started blowing like crazy and then it started to rain... and wow did it come down. thunder and lightning and rain!!! it poured and poured and poured. the roofs here are tin and it makes the sound even more resounding. it was pretty awesome. till we lost power, then i was a bit sad. lol sitting in the dark and hoping the power would come back on, is not as much fun. but we got the power back within a half an hour and all was well.

last night there was a surprise birthday party for the lead elder here at Urban Life Church. Craig Clark turned 50 and the life group (aka home group) that i plan on attending next week threw him the party. it was pretty fun and i go to meet lots of new people again. its a bit overwhelming all the people that i keep meeting and trying to remember all their faces and names. i keep seeing faces, knowing that i've met them before but drawing a blank as to their names. ahh well that will come.

Today is another day off for me. i was up quite early so i did my laundry and thats about it. its a very relaxed life here so far. there isn't much responsibilities and i'm trying to just enjoy it. its wierd for me not to have something to do every day. no real schedule. no real major plans.. yeah. weird. very weird.. ... ...

ummm i still don't have a phone. its being delt with hopefully. i think that the church is going to get some sim cards for the volunteers. i went down to the church office this morning and they took a photo copy of my passport. so hopefully i will get a card soon.

also as far as the debit card business. i'm still unable to withdrawl money from the atm machines the card doens't work in the shops. so i'm reliant on my VISA card for now and i will try again today to draw out cash. if not i'm going to have to call the bank again and sort it out. the problem being that i don't have a phone... .... its a bit of a circle. but oh well. i'm not suffering in any way! :)

Prayer Requests

~I'm not sleeping well. praise God i'm totally healthy but i'm not sleeping and its frustrating.
~ my blood sugars have been running kinda low and i've woken up three times in the last 6 days with VERY low lows. ... so. pray that that works itself out quick. its not hot or anything so its not the weather thats affecting them. its just the new place, new food and so on. so prayer would be great.
