Started the day waking up an hour earlier than i had too. whoops.
First order of business in the morning was breakfast which i skipped and went with andy and headed up the cabin inspection. The guys, as expected had alot to work on.
after cabin inspections we had morning service. Our speaker was a kenyan named ken. quite fitting i think. He was one of the people who took a 3 day bus from zambia. He's enrolled in bible college down there right now. The message was quite good and the main thing i took away from it was the phrase, "Our responses determine our successes" in otherwords our reactions to everyday things will determine how much success we have in the future.
After the message me, paul, frances, and on of their guards headed to town to buy some supplies. Paul went his own way the guard another and me and frances went to buy maize and green beans. The market was a bunch of wooden poles with old tarps strewn accross the top. It seemed like one of the lowest points in africa. It smelled, there was rotten food all over the place, but it was a strangely enjoyable experience.
As me and frances went around buying no english was spoken and everytime frances tried to buy something they would point at me and use me as the excuse for why they were overcharging. After all i'm a whitie i must be rich. Eventually we got our goods and headed back to camp.
i'm gonna skip ahead as not much exciting happened between then and the next activity.
Finally right before dinner we had a gaming event. In one game we lined up three intertubes and a bench. The goal of this game was to take a cup full of water through this obstacle course and dump it into a bucket at the end of the course. Here's the catch though. The whole team the opposing team is on either side throwing dodgeballs at you trying to knock the cup out of your hand. Needless to say it was pure chaos. people flying around, people faceplanting, it was incredibly hilarious.
I'm about to head to our second message today. The camp has been very enjoyable so far and i look forward to what tommorow brings.
