Ohhhh Tuesday. This morning after breakfast we had a worship practice for open meeting this evening. Henk was leading and guitaring, Jacob was keysing, Kat was singing, Van was making too much noise on the box drum and Steph was assigned to sing, but nothing else. Eeeek. Um... Steph doesn't sing. Well she does, but she doesn't do it well and she is very aware of that fact. If she ever does sing, she likes to hold a guitar to shield herself a little bit. Her guitar is there to comfort her and support her. So Steph was a little stressed out. And then she found out that she had never heard the majority of the songs before. She had only heard two, and doesn't really know them well. Ok. This is scary. So she decided to get an egg shaker as a distraction from the reality of being a singer. It was nice.
Anyways. During practice, Van was banging on the drum and every bang he made I could feel inside of my head it was like he was actually hitting the inside of my skull and not the drum. I managed to make it through practice, and went back to bed to escape the pain. I slept until 2.
When I woke up I felt a bit better and decided that maybe I should be a good person and contribute to work program. I hate work program. I have spent most work programs weeding the never ending supply of weeds. I got to bake 2 times and clean ceilings once (which was worse than weeding), and I think the rest of the times were spent weeding. Guess what I got to do today! Weed! But it was no ordinary weeding, it was weeding on steroids. Steroids being a hill with an incline as close to 90 degrees as possible. If it was any more inclined it would be considered a cliff and not a hill. I should have stayed in bed.
Hmmm. I don't really have much else to report on from today. It really cuts down on your supply of daily events when you sleep for half of the day... I guess I am a bit sad because I had to miss out on lectures this morning, so I didn't really get to learn anything new today - except for how to pull weeds out of the ground and not fall backwards down the hill.
I am leaving for Fiji on Saturday morning. We are leaving at 5:30 am and driving two hours to Aukland and our flight is at 11:00 am, I think. To Fijiiiiiiiiii! Crazy. I am not really ready yet. I still have to do laundry and pack. Eeeeeek. I guess on the bright side I don't really need to pack much.. just a pair of shorts or two, a couple tshirts a few undies some jandles (flip-flops) and soap and toiletry items, stuff of the journalling and bibling nature and that's about it. Should be a pretty light bag I think.
I am the scribe for my team, which means that I basically keep the journal for my team. So I am trying to be organized, but that is a really hard thing for me. But my lovely team leaders went into town today and got the stuff for the team journal. It was so nice of them. I was supposed to get it, but I just told them what I needed and they got it. Talk about good service.
In other news, I read on Hannah D's facebook wall that she is fasting from her voice. I was thinking that it was kind of odd that I had not heard from her all day. Normally I hear from her all day. I thought maybe it was because I slept for most of the day, but normally that probably wouldn't make a difference!!! I am proud of her, but I miss her voice. I never thought I would say that. But I do. :P
