mud=rain, americans in black bush=stupid

Hey everyone, as you can tell from the title of this entry we were in black bush today. It was quite an adventure, it started this morning with my choice of shoes. I wore sandals, they are very open and leave my feet exposed to the elements. So Dani and I took a bus to the polder to meet Shameniel to head into black bush. I should have seen that outside it was cloudy and looked like it was ready to start pouring down rain. I however didnt. We arrived there and waited for our bus to arrive. Our ride in was good, not too bumpy. When we got off the bus we called the return visits mother to tell her that we would be there in a few minutes. When she picked up she told us that they werent home today and we would have to wait until next week. That is not what you want to hear as you see the only bus in sight driving away and you realize that you now have to walk.

As we started walking it started raining.....I had on open toed shoes. So as we were walking my feet kept getting more and more disgusting. We are walking in about 3 inches of mud. We walked that way for about 2 miles. It is all mud and puddles. So every so often I would stop and put my foot in the puddle so I could get some of the mud off of my feet. However in the process I just seemed to get more dirt on my feet I was just able to get the clumps of mud off my shoes so they didnt weigh 5 extra pounds. So we finally found a place where we could rinse our feet off and thankfully a bus stopped to pick us up. So we went to our other bible study with the puppies. She did really well today, she understood what was going on and was very attentive. As we were leaving Shameniel got her puppy!! The puppies name is Cleo, she is black and white and oh so adorable. Ok so thank you all for all the emails and comments, I miss you all!!
