Rest day

My ‘international’ phone plan is not working so good so I’ll be getting a Liberian SIM card on Monday. This too is Liberia.

Today I was told needed to be a rest day and I definitely needed it. After all the travel and getting to Emmanuel’s house after 1:00 in the morning I already felt bad for everyone who had to stay up in order to pick me up so late at the airport that I thought the least I could go was go to bed right away to allow everyone else to rest. Of course it didn’t happen exactly like that. When we arrived at the house Princess Kau had potato greens and GB waiting for me. We ate a good meal and didn’t get to bed until around 2:00 or later.

When we did go to bed I wasn’t sure how long I would sleep since my clock was off with all the odd hours.

10:00 a.m. that’s how long I would sleep. It felt good so I got up to find more food waiting for breakfast. We even had some ‘blonde brownie’ that Patty made for Emmanuel. It was enjoyed by all.

I did lay back down just after noon since jet lag was definitely hitting me. I slept another hour. I’m still dragging a little at 9:15 pm, but I’m guessing tomorrow will be better.

It was great catching up with people today. We just stayed around the house and I got a tour of the guest house to see the progress. Redemption Hill church in Iron Mt. supplied some funds for the water tower project that has begun here. The frame was set in concrete today with plans to set the 1000 gallon tank next week.

Since I am so tired I’ll be heading to bed and hopefully fill in more details tomorrow.

God bless,
