This week was another good week aside from the panic attacks the rat caused in me. The beginning of the week feels so far away I don't know if I will be able to remember it!
The first 3 days of the week were spent doing school work and just hanging around the house for the most part. On Monday night Terri and Brian, a couple that lives a few houses down, invited us over for supper. It was really good and Terri and Brian are amazing people. They are from Southern US of A and are hear studying the language so when they move to a village they will know all that they need to. I am glad they are not leaving until January.
Thursday was a glorious day in the Snider house, Steve came back from America. He not only came back but he came back bearing many gifts. He brought some Halloween candy and books and cloths, very exciting. We are all glad he made it back safe and is here to fight off the rats!
I almost forgot to tell you about the rat. I can't remember what night it was but Sarah and I were just sitting on the couch watching BBC Life and writing emails when a rat, a big rat came running through the dinning room and behind the TV. I jumped up on the couch and finally got the words out, "a rat!" Sarah went to get the brooms and we positioned ourselves on either side of the TV stand. By that time the rat had gone all the way around the room and through a couple rooms and back into the kitchen. About a half hour later he showed his face again. All I could do was say, "there it is again". I couldn't move I just looked at it. I couldn't believe it would come back through the room again! We were on our to getting up when it went back the way it came. At this point we went to made sticky traps which besides catching a lizard caught nothing. Not to worry though, Steve caught one of the rats this weekend and a another trap is out tonight.
On to this weekend. On Thursday I decided to go with Angie and Alison to Chocas. I left with Angie and a few other people on Friday night. The three of us, the three single girls, slept outside. I loved that. I got to sleep in a hammock, that was tricky business. Alison and I woke up early and went to the beach to watch the sun rise. It was so beautiful to watch it rise over the Indian Ocean. Later that day we went to the ocean to swim and play. It was so fun and so freeing to just run and "play" in the water. After lunch we had a tree climbing competition(that is what the some of picture are) then the whole group, about 17 people, got into the water and we played chicken and sward fight with noodles. It was a very silly afternoon. On Sunday I slept in a little and when straight for the water. We had lunch and a little fellowship then right back into the water. I met up with the Sniders' at Sunday night worship. I missed them so much, they are wonderful people and I am so happy to be here with them.
