This month has tossed me 180 degrees from where I was last month in a lot of ways. Last month I had a bed to sleep in every night. I had the opportunity to take a shower when I wanted. I could use the bathroom in what I felt was a normal way (without using an outhouse). We woke up about 10 am and went to bed whenever we felt we were ready. The ministry we did was all spiritual and no manual labor. We also bought our own food and cook for ourselves.
This month however is polar opposite. I am currently residing in a farmhouse on a mattress with hundreds of flies swarming around me at almost all times. The only day I get a shower is when we visit the Sauna. I use an outhouse when I need to go and may I add that it is one of the most freeing things one can ever do. We wake up every morning at about 8:30 and have to be in bed by 10. The ministry here is strictly manual for the most part for us guys. We are cooked 3 meals a day by the lovely ladies here.
9:00- Breakfast time! We have had eggs, cereal, hotdogs, and something that is like oatmeal.
9:30- Worship! To kick the day off right we always have an hour of worship before we all head to our different job sites. We sing, pray, and give words to keep us going through the day.
10:30-1:30- We all head out to our job sites. Mine this month has been the farm. I have done so many different things, which will be talked about in a blog to come soon.
2:00- Lunch time! I’m not even going to try to explain what we have for lunch or dinner because to be honest I do not even know, but it has been great.
3:00-6:30- We all head back to finish up our jobs for the day. Men do manual labor and women work on their projects!
7:00- Dinner time!
8:00- Team time. This is when each team gathers in a different spot and has team time. We do feedback and just talk about different things as a team.
10:00- Light out!
Any Free Time: Most of the men can be found on the farm boiling eggs. It’s a good way to get away from the women because they can’t deal with the flies. We have a wood-burning stove in our farmhouse and we just boil water and drop some eggs in. I have probably eaten around 40 or so this month. Protein? I will be strong when I get back to the states. I also occasionally was clothes by hand in the two buckets we have.
Disclaimer: We have placed sticky fly traps around our house so our fly problem has been greatly decreased.
