So we did not end of watching Mel, or drinking spiced cider Tuesday night. Cameron and Anisha had phone calls, so we just checked our email and went to bed.
On Saturday night we put a sticky note on Cameron’s door with a quote from the movie we watched (“I’m glad you came tonight”). Well, he did not get it until Saturday night when we reminded him why it was so funny. Then it was a true, literal roflcopter (just for you, Chris). I have a picture. I'm glad he eventually got the joke :-).

Wednesday night we did the same thing, except we put “I want that,” on it.
Wednesday day, we cleaned a little at the clinic, and then made labels for some binders for Dr. Gemechu. Class was okay, if not a little noisy. Anisha went like, 10 minutes over. Cameron did not have class. Afterward, we practiced for special music. Anisha fixed up the beans for dinner. They were still harder than I would have liked, but, then again, I like refried beans. The rice was…. well, I promised I would not mention. It still tasted good. Afterward, we made banana foster. Basically, you put butter and brown sugar in a frying pan, then put the bananas in there. It was pretty good, but I think I’m good with just simple banana and peanut butter. It was very nice to have a treat, though. Then we watched Mel. Terrible movie, and then WOAH we were TOTALLY not expecting that. Then it got bad again then WHAM!!!!!!!!! best moment EVER.
Today we called Dr. Gemechu to figure out what we were doing today, and he said he would get back to us. We thought he forgot about us, so we called again—he had been in a meeting. He came by afterward to tell us he had nothing for us to do, so I worked on lesson plans and stuff. We were all super hungry around 1130, even though we did nothing all day. The electricity was out, so I heated up the rest of the potato soup with the gas burner. Anisha had pb&j with marmalade (which she does not like at all), and Cameron ate cold beans and rice. Around 1230, S’ike came by. Remember how she was supposed to teach us this week how to make injera? Well, I think she misheard Dr. Gemechu, because she brought us a whole tray of injera, then came by with a tray of that spicy dish, the spinach dish, the potato and cabbage dish, and a green bean dish! We were super excited. Guess what we are having for dinner tonight? Maybe we can have Dr. Gemechu ask her again to teach how to make it. Now, we are just doing stuff until three. Tomorrow, Abebe is taking us grocery shopping in the morning, because Sunday we will be busy with the health clinic or whatever.

Teaching went better today. Well, the kids were better behaved than yesterday, but I think they understood less. It is frustrating when they repeat after you when you asked them a question, and you try to explain that you are asking them something, but they do not understand it. I love our routine. Teach, chill, “Jenney-furrh,” *ignore*, “Jenney-furrh!” *groan*, “JENNEY-FURRH!”, “We better go before they start yelling for Anisha.” “Anisha!” *we got play soccer.* Soccer was fun tonight. If Cameron is “dangerous goalkeeper,” then I am “bad goalkeeper.” Never mind, though, because when Alemayo switched with me, he missed a simple goal. We were all SUPER excited to go back and eat dinner—injera!!! Then, with tummies full of injera, misir wat, spinach, potato, green beans, and carrots, we made some spiced cider and went star gazing and read some Bible verses. We are all so lucky and blessed to be here. I think I speak for all of us when I say that God truly led us here, and is pouring out his blessings on us here. I hope we can show everyone here His love.
