Sunday = "family" day

I began the day with getting to have a really quick skype convo with all the Vertical students and leaders who were at a fellowship night at my friends, the Padilla's house. It hasn't even been a week yet, and it already seems like I've been gone so long. Then we had our two Sunday services, and I learned I need to drink A LOT more water (let's just say I had a little episode of dehydration). It was awesome getting to be back and seeing a lot of the ladies I had started to get close to right before I left. Then we (Judy, Rochelle, Ryan, Malia and I) partook in our ritual Sunday lunch at Flavours. After that I tried to recover some more from the morning's "episode", and then it was play time. I read the kids some of the new books I had gotten for them and then we just all hung around outside for the afternoon, it was a nice warm day with a great breeze which made it perfect for chillaxin' with the kiddos. The missionary residents of our compound then loaded up the car and we made the trek to a cool restaurant perched right over the Nile (view is pictured above) and had AMAZING ribs no matter where you are in the world. We finally got home and all watched a good ol'e classic western musical (I know what you're thinking, and it's probably right).

It was an awesome day with my "families" but it's hard because my flesh and blood family has been going through some crazy times this week, so please just keep them in prayer. it's only been five days, but I already feel super disconnected from everything.
