Just another Wednesday

We are now at our site in Mmadinare and have internet at our very own house so these posts may start coming more frequent.

Today I was at school when some goats found their way onto the school grounds. This is a big deal because they have been eating our garden! So I walked out toward them to scare them off and as I passed by Mma Makoba's office she let out a yell.... "Lasie!!" All of a sudden without another word being spoken a 4 year boy comes bolting out of class to run and chase off the goats. So that's it. I found myself wondering how often this happens and whether or not the boy is actually called Lasie.

  1. Hey guys! Speaking of goats -- I was downtown on the 16th Street Mall on Thursday, and there was a guy walking a goat. It was a friendly goat, but it was a really strange sight. Also, just wanted to let you guys know that the Denver Museum of Nature and Science has a Botswana exhibit! It was super cool to see some of the animals and cultural things you guys probably see all the time.

    Some GEI news for Mark -- 1. Craig tore completely through his bicep a couple weeks ago (doing house work!) and had to have some crazy surgery to put his muscle back together. He's in this weird plastic shell thing that locks his arm at 90 degrees. He has to wear it for 2 months! He should be back to normal in 4 months. 2. Grant and his wife are pregnant! They found out the day before they left for Uganda. All 3 of them survived the mission trip :)

    I hope you are both staying healthy and happy!
