Jamm Rekk (Peace only)

So all is good here. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while...we've been so busy, but its a good busy! The first day I was saying we were going to the fabric market, where we all got outfits. I love mine soo much! But a lot of 'tu bobs' aka white people, attracts attention. So we were constantly followed by people, with them asking us to buy this and buy that. Don't get me wrong, these people aren't pushy aggressive, but this is how they make a living. Just think Cowtown with people following you everywhere. But the best part for a lot of us was the "Joanna and Feuline bartering show". Joanna and Feuline are really good at bartering down prices. Since we were tu bobs, they start the price really high in hopes we'd buy.
Later the next day we started the five hour van drive, van COMPLETELY full to capacity of suitcases and people. I was up in the front row between Joanna and Barbara. We had a blast laughing and singing, which made the five hour drive feel less. Let me tell you that this van is a stickshift van. Joanna does an amazing job driving around these towns. If you think US city traffic is bad, you should drive through here. Beeping the horn is a common thing to do to anyone.
We just got back from an AMAZING experience. We had the opportunity to bring 45 school boxes full of items to a French-Islamic school. How God opened this door between our Christian group and this group, still blows are mind on what God has in store for us.
I apologize for not blogging a lot. I'm on the computer now...duh. But many others are showering and getting things ready for the camp. Arts and Crafts prep work is taking a lot of our time. Bob and Dad are doing a lot of house things for Joanna, like putting up fans, fixing screens, lightbulbs, etc.

Hopefully I'll post later...but until then. God Bless.
P.S. One month until I'm at Messiah!!!!! =D
