this past weekend we made a trip to Songea! we met up with some other volunteers who were in the area. Friday night we ate dinner with a group of students from a university in England who were in the country distributing books, saturday we helped them unload the truck of books (my shoulders are still sore from carrying those boxes of textbooks)
and then show them Peramiho (where we got 7 kilos of fresh picked strawberries!) we also had dinner together (fresh salad and spaghetti) and watched a movie.
sunday morning we got up and went to Mass at the Cathedral in Songea. still frustrating to not be able to understand any of the readings or the homily, but at least a little comforting to be able to follow where we are at in the Mass (liturgy of the word, Eucharist, et. c.)
it was a good weekend!
this week: back to teachin Mon-Wed (and continuing to clean/organize the headmaster's office) Thursday is Standard VII graduation, which should be a big feast, and then off for a trip to Iringa and Ruaha national park on Friday to see the wildlife, and on to Dar Es Salaam to say goodbye to our Italian and German friends, and hello to the Bennies just entering for their time in TZ. all for now...
