Today Bri and I had planned to stay home and get some things done. It was a great day to take off after such an emotionally draining day yesterday. We slept in... until 7:30 that is (actually, Bri was up by 6:45). After getting ready for the day, we headed out to town. It has been in the mid 80's here, and we figured it would be best to get all of our walking done early in the day. We walked around looking at all of the pavement shops, but after about an hour we decided that the pot everyone was smoking was too much and we went shopping inside. I found something for Luke at one of the stores. Bri and I went out to lunch at KFC. We just happened to be the only white people in the store! But it sounded good, it was cheap and we were hungry. The looks people gave us were priceless though ;) There are a lot of chicken places here and everyone says it's because the Blacks LOVE chicken. The menu was different, but we were really excited to be able to get our "mash and gravy!" Most of Blacks eat chips (french fries), so we were surprised that they had mashed potatoes. Even Gloria was surprised when we told her because she has never seen them on the menu. This afternoon we just relaxed and prepared our devotions for the weeks to come. Tomorrow Bri and I are going to give our testimonies at school and let the kids ask anything they would like to know about us, the US or whatever else. Please pray for us! We started a question box earlier in the week where the kids could drop in any questions they had about God, the Bible, Christianity, etc. We will use their questions to prepare devotions for the weeks to come.
We went to leave this morning and found the gate locked. Nerina didn't know we were staying home today, so she locked the gate that blocks off the driveway. We didn't have a key, and we had no other way out, so we were locked in! It took us about an hour to go searching everywhere to find a key. We finally went in Nerina's house and grabbed all her keys hanging up (about 10 sets), and went through them all. Of course it was on the last key ring we checked.
Blacks love their KFC's!
The red shirts are all the people who are striking. Everywhere you go you see a ton of people walking around in their red shirts.

I'm glad you had a down day after yesterday. Everyone is praying for you both as you process it all.
I pray tomorrow goes really well and that the kids are very receptive!
Love you and God bless,
Mom
Did you put the keys back where you found them?
Do they have the original recipe and extra crispy?
Love,
Dad
