Day 106:
I woke up this morning to........OUR WATER BACK. YAYYYYY ! Power still wasn't back, but oh well :)! I spent the morning cleaning the house, my room, and etc. Around lunch time we got all ready, with bags and bags full of mango's.. and headed down to the village :). We decided we would give out mango's to the widowed single mothers, or anyone we felt to. Along the way we handed some to one elderly lady that usually begs from us, and she seemed so happy :). As we kept walking we decided we would bring some to our friend in the market, and then down the road to another stand.We walked down the road and went to see James (One of the guys who always gives us things, and is very friendly) and we gave him some. There was some single/widowed mothers around and we gave them some as well. As we walked around to the market area there was Josiah and we gave him some . ( We usually buy from him and he usually is super friendly ) Next we went to our bread guy, WHO ACTUALLY MAKES HOME-MADE BREAD. We bought from him and also gave him mango's as well. Stop by stop we went, handing the mango's out until the very last. Our last stop was to Mary's shop. Mary is the lady who makes us clothing that is African! We had to bring her some material , and pick up my dad's suit anyways so we decided we would stop by. We were there for some time when I noticed the kids walking by (some of the orphans) and they smiled HUGE when they saw me. A soon as I went outside they ran up to me and wrapped their loving little arms around me. They were jumping up and down and grabbing our hands. Dad had to stay to get measurements from Mary while meanwhile mom and I decided since the kid were walking back for lunch we would walk them there, and then go back to the village. We walked, skipped, and held hands the whole way just laughing.. Man it is going to be hard to leave! We brought them inside the gate and walked back, and on the way saw some more of the primary kids ! We were greeted by hugs and had to keep walking. We went back and got some things, and then decided we would go to the nearby cafe to eat where we had brought mango's for the workers earlier. (not actually a cafe by the way, it's very.. lets just say African?) I had the usual beans and chapatis ( I eat a lot of that lately), and my parents beef and chapatis ( It's not like a whole HUGE menu to pick from here ) But it is very good food! We finished up and walked through the market area again, got some material brought it to Mary and walked back to the house. We went by and were greeted by the kids who were now home for the day, (The older ones are done first?) and we walked around a bit with one little one who is Dickson's Grand-daughter. She is some cute! After a bit we had to head back over to the house, and do some housework and such. Ben had come over because we have to work on a song for my sister's wedding, and we did that until he had to go work on getting his visa to come to Canada with my dad. I went and had to clean my room up and read, and the rest of the night has been.. Well late dinner and planning.
