A week ago, Maddie excitely told me that
Ghislain (one of the co-directors of ENVODEV) was inviting us to sing two songs
in his family band- one in French (that he wrote) and a popular Laka hymn.
(Laka is similar to Ngambai but from a slightly different region of the
country.) So this past week we have been practicing and on Saturday we had our
first recording session!
I recently stumbled upon a delicious meat
place that serves beef cooked in a delicious salty sauce. So I decided that I
wanted to get some. I hopped on my bike and got the meat. Afterwards, a woman
greeted me, and while I headed towards here to shake her hand, I fell into the
disgusting sewage water/garbage sewer that is along most roads. I was not very
hurt - a scrape on my arm, a bruise on my thigh and my big toe stubbed. After
climbing out of the gutter, I went home and showered, twice!
Today after our 3 hour church service (where
I sang in the choir), I had the opportunity to help make boule. I sifted the
flour, added water, turned it (Adeline helped some because the pot was
overflowing) and then I served it into the calabashes. Often I take pictures of
my family when they don’t ask, but this time, Mila asked me where my camera
was- so I pulled it out and here is a picture of us (she is eating the fruit
from a palm tree).
