Wednesday evening

11:00pm
I did it! I peed in Diagle! I've always managed to avoid "bathroom" breaks while in the village, really because I usually sweat so much there isn't anything left. But Lynn and I just braved the little fenced off area because we are sleeping in the village tonight! The first Mt View women to do so! Now that I've conquered that fear, I'm really excited about this.

Unfortunately, someone not far away has a generator (this person charges people to watch tv) and between the loud volume and the droning of the engine, it's not as peaceful out here as I would have expected.

Jeff and I are both doing much better, after a nap at the Garret's house and some juice I perked right back up. Jeff and Todd are sharing a tent not far from Lynn and I. But I think we both took it easy on the fish and peanut flavored dinner... Not my favorite combination.

Adji's grandmother passed away, so of course she is sad, and asking for help to pay for a trip to Dakar to visit her brother, still not sure how the two are related, but that's Adji. I very kindly told her that we didn't have enough money for the school and to send her to Dakar, but that we would pray that an opportunity for her to raise some money would come up. I think that helped. But with Adji's help Lynn and I were able to have a nice conversation with Fatu, she was very worried that Jeff and I were sick because of Diagle, we assured her we weren't!

That's it for tonight
