can't wait for rainy season!

It should be here any day! It will be nice to see an end to the dust, even if it means mud. But I'm most looking forward to having a clear view of the mountains! Right now, the sky is so heavy with dust, you can't see very far. But this was still a nice sunrise!


I had a great week alone in the office, got it all organized and spruced up! (Miss you, Serge! But can I keep your desk chair?)

Mark is home from Kinshasa, still with questions about what he should be doing for work.

We went on a weekend retreat with our church, and it was so worth it, even just after a hot shower on Saturday morning, not to mention learning people's names, recruiting frisbee players, and Mark rocking it as he led icebreakers for the whole group of 50 in French!

I started my class in Restorative Justice and am really excited to be intentionally learning and thinking about peacebuilding in this context.

Made tacos for a short-term mission team from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC. (Okay, I'll be honest; our great domestic worker made almost everything, but I browned the meat and grated the cheese! And Mark made the most delicious guacamole.)

Our power was out 80% of the week, and I wasn't stressed about it. PTL!
