The past two days have been really enjoyable! Yesterday was Saturday, so Amy wanted to have all of us go do something fun. We ended up going to Wet 'n' Wild, a Tanzanian water park! It was only $10 per person to get admission, lunch (drink included), and ice cream! We all ended up having a blast :D I rode on the biggest slide by myself, and then Amy and I did it together (each in a tube, with me in front holding her feet). Tanzanians aren't very strict on rules, so we could basically ride however we wanted. Usually there wasn't even someone monitoring. Lunch was great, and then after lunch we found a nice wide water slide that all the kids could slide down and then run back up (even Donovan). We were at the park all day, and no one got sunburn (yay!) Everyone was exhausted when we got home. The kids took showers and went right to bed. Then I played Carcassan and nines with Amy. Great ending to a great day :)
Today was Sunday, so in the morning we all got up and went to church. Of course, all of the teaching is in Swahili, so I brought my Bible and had my own church time while we were there. After church Rob stayed home with the kids, and Amy and I went to a fellowship/prayer/lunch gathering that some of the people from their church have with their ministry once a month. We got to talk for a while in the car while being stuck in traffic. The gathering itself I really enjoyed. It was cool to hear from other missionaries who have been here a long time and who have gone through a lot of the same experiences and situations that the Ellises are going through. It was also cool to hear from a guy who will be going to Uganda with a couple of other people tomorrow. Because of the stuff I've done with Invisible Children it was interesting to hear from someone who has been to Uganda and spoken with the people there. Everyone was very nice, and we were there for about 3 hours. We came home, had a small dinner, and right now the kids are getting ready for bed.
I'm having a great time here, and I'm learning and growing a lot. I definitely miss home, some times more than others, but I'm not quite ready to leave yet ;)
