today we travelled to the bishops house, had breakfast with him at 6:30 am (I know me up early in the morning is crazy!)...we had a nice talk with him and everything seems to be working in our favor. its so amazing here...we met with the chief or king (what we call the mayor in the states) and his wife will attend our conference...i have never met so many prominent people and they are all so hospitable and willing to help!!!
so i have been bitten by 6 mosquitoes so far....and travis has not been bitten at all. i guess i have nicer skin!! (haha...sorry travis) NG's family house is amazingly huge, as with all of the other houses in the village...there are farm animals that run around the village and many trees with huge beautiful leaves
unfortunately there are also some huge insects, like the cochroach, eww....they are giganourmous and have wings...i went to the bathroom and saw one decided that he would not hurt me so would leave him alone and use the bathroom UNTIL it darted right for me!! i ran out looked a travis laughing at me and the darn bugger kept chasing me....i ran into travis' room and closed the door....BUT he still chased us...finally travis took out the big shoe and smashed him....man it was an adventure
the children here are absolutely adorable...BUT i think they are a little confused as to why we have such fair complexion...wherever we walk all of the children open their beautiful eyes and just stare. everyone is so welcoming though!!
ok i have "talked" too much now so ill save some for later
peace
