The rest of the week, during which I do not blog because blogspot would not work anyway

Wow, well, I have not updated since Tuesday, because I figured what the point, since blogspot would not upload them anyway. Well, now I have to go back and remember what happened this week. Eh, just as well for you guys—less to decipher!
Very few patients all week. I just had 2B on Tuesday, but on Thursday I finally got to go talk to Kinfe about what to do about that whole shenanigan. We finally decided that I would just have the smarter kids on both Monday and Tuesdays. I am going to start the book again (well, 2B is on, like, the second page, so basically restart), but go through it faster. 3rd grade has their test this week. I am going to have half of them take it on Wednesday, and half take it on Thursday, so we can read the tests aloud.
Sigue came to our house on Thursday, and taught us how to make shiro and gomen. We had started injera on Monday, but the t’eff was bad so the injera tasted funny. We made gomen and shiro again for lunch on Friday, and both turned out really well! On Thursday, we saw this HUGE American cargo plane fly in, and heard a fighter jet come in… wondered what that was all about. I said that they were preparing for the election, and Cameron said that they were bringing supplies to the embassy. Salam came to our house on Friday and invited us to her house on Saturday. I told her that we had church, and she said, “okay, Sunday.” We also finally watched Legend of the Seeker heehee. Pretty good, actually. Our TV choices are so funny. They are shows we would have never thought to have watched in America. The shows we get excited to watch also include: House (new semifavorite), According to Jim (awesome show), and Crusoe.
Saturday was good. We did a special music, and Cameron preached a really good sermon—and it was his first time preaching. We had Hareg try our leftover gomen at potluck, and she was very impressed. She asked if we had seen the plane, which was super cool because we knew EXACTLY what we were talking about! We did ASL in Pathfinders. They learned some basic conversation skills. More next week!
Salam never came on Sunday, but we had another Pathfinder meeting and tied knots. I was going to make bread, but we did not know when Salam would come, so I never did. I mopped, though. We went to Safara for produce around four, and looked for Sigue when we came back (she was going to teach us to make miser wot), but we could not find her. So we will make curry instead.
