Just for the sake of my mother, who is constantly asking for "boring details" about life here. Here is a rundown of my day today (Sunday).
Church service at the Anglican church down the road that me and Rebecca have been attending starts at 7:00AM and goes for an hour. We normally eat breakfast after we get back. Today, that meant "Weetabix."
Apparently it's a British thing. It's super dry and crunchy (it comes out of the box in "cakes" that are a little bigger than my palm, and you're supposed to eat two to form a serving :-/) until you put milk on it....then it tastes like soggy cardboard. Really not sure who thought this one up. Needless to say, it requires a lot of sugar.
After breakfast I took care of my plants in the yard, had some Jesus time, listened to the newest Bethel podcast, and washed two loads of laundry by hand.
Each of us has one day a week that is "ours" to do laundry, since we only have enough clothesline space for one person at a time. Sundays are my day. We also rotate through a chore list, so, after I did some catch up stuff on the computer and talked with my mom on Skype, I swept and mopped the front half of our house.
Rebbeca made some noodles for lunch, so I snitched her leftovers, then washed another load of laundry -- I was lazy last week and only washed a few things, so there was a lot today... :)
I'm writing a blog post now (about 2:30PM), and, when Ashley gets back to the house, we're going the market to do team food shopping. After we get back, I have Ephesians homework due for class tomorrow and a ministry plan for the week that needs to be written up. At some point I'll make dinner -- probably a tuna sandwich -- and try to Skype my family before they take off for church, then I'll read/write/hang out with my team until we all head for bed/the boys go home.
Other days can vary incredibally from week to week, but that's a fairly steryotypical Sunday.
Bored yet, Mom?

Thanks Honey!!! That is exactly what we want :-) It is hard for us to imagine what your day to day routines are like ---so the descriptions are great (actually exciting to some of us!)
Your English grammar is starting to sound a bit Kenyan -- you might want to proof read a bit :-) Not that I know any grammar freaks that might be appalled....
Love ya bunches even when you don't use English good, lol.
Love,
Mommy
