I've been sick with a virus of sorts for the past two days. It has put me in a reflective state, and I've been able to stay here on campus. Just today I finally ate a couple of banannas, and a citrus drink- these were soothing. Many of my classmates were praying (my temp. was 103.9!) and I don't think it's malaria, so this is great news.
Coming out of the dorm area, I was able to participate in quite a fun adventure of freeing one of the school's vans from the mud which was created from the rain. About 5 other African brothers and myself pushed the van first from the front, then the back, the side, and then we finally hopped into the van and gave it enough weight on the spinning wheel from bouncing that it gave way to freedom again:) There was much rejoicing and thanking, and I hope to share a variety of other stories throughout the semester.
Writing again soon,
Geoff
