A Long Drive

Unfortunately I came down with a cold on Friday. I was not able to work in the clinic and spent the morning in bed. After lunch I did some bookkeeping with Suzy. I am going to be helping her with that while I am here. It can be confusing converting dollars to Sudanese pounds.

After dinner we had movie night! They set up a projector in the dining hall and much to the guys' dismay, we watched "PS I Love You." I love that movie. All of the girls drooled over Gerard.

Saturday we got to sleep in. It was delightful. I slept until about 9:00 or so. I still wasn't feeling well so I laid down for a few hours after breakfast. Around 3:00 we left to show the Jesus video to a village that was far away. Sabet told us it would be an hour and a half, but it was closer to two and a half hours. The road was in terrible shape which made it so bumpy! Imagine being on the Indiana Jones ride for two and a half hours, sitting on a bench seat.

Finally we got there and started off by hanging out with the kids. Again, taking pictures is what they love. When we started to sing songs, it began to rain. So we all ran into a cement building where we continued to hang out. Fortunately the rain stopped so we were able to show the Jesus video. There were a ton of people there! Most of us headed for home around 8:30 and we didn't get home until after 11:00. The road was just as bumpy as before. My tailbone was in agony. We had a lot of fun on the ride home. It was kind of scary, but we told stories and asked questions (kind of like my email questionnaires.) to distract ourselves. I probably shouldn't have opened with "So, Sabet, you were kidnapped, right?!) I think Sheena took the prize when she asked if anyone had sharted. I almost died laughing. Way too much information was shared that evening. What happens in the land cruiser stays in the land cruiser!
