Shopping

Just got back from the market. We have to head into Rosehall to do our shopping. Last time we were there the store we tried to go to, Spreadys, was closed because the power was out. So we went there today. Its almost like a Safeway! Except the employees dont greet you or take you to the items your looking for. Oh well. They do have tons of American stuff. Like Oreos and Kraft cheese. Its about the same price as you would pay in the states, but compared to how cheap everything else is, it seems like alot. So we just got a few of our favorites and then stuck with the local stuff. It's our new favorite place though:) Air conditioned also which is always nice. Then we headed back home, on the mini bus of course. Almost hit a cow in the road. Would have been fine if we hadnt been flying around that corner, but oh no, that wouldnt have been as fun. So the driver slammed on his breaks and the cow was granted another day of life on the streets. We also passed a guy laying on the side of the road. Jurys still out as to whether or not he was alive. Maybe just drunk.
Tonight we have our meeting. We meet at 5 here so that theres a better chance of finding a bus home afterward. Last week a sister gave us a ride home because no buses passed. Usually they stop when it gets dark. Tomorrow is laundry in the morning, by hand. Then more bible studies.
Hope everyone is doing good, love and miss you all!

  3. Hi Danielle,

    I missed your entry for a couple of days. I have been enjoying reading of your experiences. I can just imagine the screaming that goes on when a bat appears. I'm with you! The driving there sounds like an adventure, an "E" ticket ride as they used to say! Good to hear you are having nice experiences.
    Love, Danielle

  4. Hi Danielle,
    I've just started reading your Blog since Tyler gave me the address. I really like your descriptive narrative! It sounds like you're having the time of your life. Keep up the good work, but be careful out there!
