Nimelala fofofo

Yesterday and Today I've had a stomach ache and sunburn which have made life uncomfortable, strange bowel movements etc...ugh. But its been great to spend some time with the training teachers here, Im teachning some guys the guitar. They are quitre musically quick, quicker than anyone i've ever taught anyway. They probably have just never really had the chance to try out any instruments, although some of them have.
Life is so casual in Africa it seems, but it is also very harsh. The plants are strong and wiry, the insects huge and tough, and of course the mammals have a hard time too. The women do a lot of the work here, much more than at home, they are often out in the fields farming while the men sit and talk. The men get a lot of part time work. The kids get it pretty hard, with lots dieing of sickness and disease. Education is hard because there are too many kids and the government doesn't support the teachers enough, with like 60 children per teacher. You hear about lots of corruption of aid from overseas by government officials and politions who expect bribes.....
Nimelala fofofo. I slept like a rock in Swahili. Its been good sleep here, its really warm at nights so you don't need many blankets.....
Its really good to meet some people who are walking with god here, and to worship with them.
