Friday was a day of answering phone calls, feilding e-mails, doing book work, overseeing Abdi and transporting a family to a drs. appt. That last one sounds simple. The only problem was we had to drive to four different places to get the family all together for the drs appt.Friday evening Robert was called to meet with the Bantu elder council to talk to them about an issue that is on the rise with the young teen boys. He was there most of the evening.On Saturday morning we were lazy. At noon Robert & I went on errands and lunch. When I was standing in the Cricket store getting statements my phone rang. Robert was out on the side walk pacing back and forth talking on the phone. My phone call was one of our families. They were fighting. The mother, her teenage son and her Jr. High daughter were trying to understand a document and they all had different ideas. That got them into a heated arguement. So we went to read it and settle it on our way home. When we were at the apartments I went to Joetta's house to see if she wanted to spend the evening with us and Robert went to Makhmudi's house. At Makhmudi's the Bantu elder council was eating lunch. When I showed to meet Robert to go home I found my husband sitting on the floor with a big plate of rice and chicken eating with his hands, 20 Bantu men around him. I waited in the entry way to the apartment until he finished, said his goodbyes and we went home.That evening we went back to the apartments, picked up Joetta and made our way to Tepanyaki for dinner. Sang was treating us to dinner for Joy's birthday. Not only was he treating us but he made certain that we all had soda's and he cooked for us. Gave us an excellent show! We had such a good time. Our children, one of which was not feeling well when they got there all laughed so much their stomachs hurt. One of the kids favorite things was when he threw an uncooked egg up in the air brought it down on the side of his spatual and slit it so he could cook it in the rice. Of course the kids very favorite thing of the kids was the big fire and the onion volcano. We also enjoyed watching him starle Joetta and listening to her scream.
The food was excellent. If any of you want very good food that is healthy for you go check out Sang at Tepanyaki. I was amazed that vegatables could taste that good. Ask for him specifically to cook for you and tell him you know us. He is one of the best things God ever made.On Friday Sebit had come by to see if Robert would teach for him at the Sudanese church. So this morning we went to Pursuit, dropped Pacifique and Zabibu off afterwards and headed off for the Sudanses church. We worshipped partly in Arabic singing to Alah and partly in English singing to God. It was so much fun! God has been good to us this week. We will now see what adventures next week holds. Hope you enjoyed the first full week of blogging!
