What a beautiful Sunday it's been! We went to Kisongo this morning for worship, because Jacob was asked to preach. He did a wonderful job! It was a really nice treat. Our evening devo with the missionaries was canceled, because almost everyone wasn't going to be able to make it, but our family still had a devo with just us, which was nice. :)

I started my Romans\Galatians class on Thursday, and I really enjoyed the first class! At 8am there's a devo for all the students (*insert me shuffling to a chair trying to look inconspicuous*), and at 8:30 we go in and have class until 10, when there's a half hour break for tea {Mwahaha! It's great, and especially useful for thawing you out once you've become an ice cube}. Then we go back in until noon, then we break for lunch. After lunch, it's class from 1 until 3.

On Saturday, the Samfords had a "fish fry" at their house, and it was alot of fun! They had bought some fish and cooked them {they fixed most of the fish how they like them here - whole fish, minus the insides}, and invited a bunch of people over. Almost all that came were from the Arusha congregation, but most of the ACSOP students came as well, along with a few others. In all, there was about 80 people.
The Samfords have a trampoline, so a game that Bonnie had the guys play was the "Masai jumping contest". By far, my favorite part of the day, haha! When she first told them they were going to have a Masai jumping contest, they got all excited, because most of them have had real practice! They had alot of fun trying to do it on the trampoline, though. Joseph was my favorite {he's actually a Masai}, because he got onto the trampoline, took the jumping stance, and started jumping, doing the Masai "Eeo!" sound at the top of his jump, then starting doing another sound that's made by sucking air in and out of your throat {Yes, sorry it's so hard to describe!}. After that, the women played musical chairs, and they loved it! We all had alot of fun. :)

I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday!

I can't believe I left before the trampoline contest. Oh, and you missed an important aspect to this story - Jake's amazing jumping skills. ;)
