Last evening the sunset was amazing. A bright sphere of pink/orange shine. Then this morning since I had KP we saw the sunrise. It was the same colors; up and gone within five minutes.
New experience. Today as KP, Hannah W and I were instructed to sweep the kitchen floor. I have never swept a floor with the aim of sweeping the gross stuff away from the dirt rather than sweeping the dirt itself.
There was a little girl who came today with malaria. Camille said they get malaria here like we get colds. There was also a baby that came today for medicine, because they have a strong feeling he/she has HIV since the baby’s mother and older sister do. The baby was screaming. It’s crazy to think is all around us. All the statistics I have heard about Africa, are real people with real lives. And they aren’t gross people. Just people like me and everyone I know back home. They are only in a different situation. What would be different with my relationship in God, if I was in this situation instead of where I was born?
