After not going to bed until around 5am this morning due to overdoing it on the caffine, my head is a little foggy when I got up at 8am. Had devotions with Stella (my roommate and the MCO of the clinic) that led into a great discussion on putting Christ first and not letting things pull you away (Matthew 18). We also had a sweet time of prayer before breakfast. Had to hand wash some clothes and pack everything that I am taking with me versus what I am leaving until September. I figured out that I could get by on not checking any luggage back! :) Besides what I need for the next 4 days and souvenirs, everything else is left behind and locked up until I get back. I said my goodbyes with some emotion from Stella and threats of kidnapping from her and Hannington. Went and said bye to Mama Vencencia who was out planting onions and played a quick game of peek a boo with the neighbor's children. Also got to see the cat!
As we were driving out we saw a squirrel and meerkats. Kind of sad I didn't see other animals but I was told I would need to go to a game park where they are protected. We got stopped for a routine police check right out of Busunju... they actually made us show our passports before we were allowed on. When your not in a democratic society this is common practice. TIA!
