Life is all about perspective. This comes up every once in a while in stark reality. On day 3 Betty and I headed out to install wells and we went down the road that passes the hotel that we stay in our first 2 nights in country. It is this road that we practice or refresh our driving skills (manual transmission on the left side of the road) on our orientation day. I went out on orientation day and remember that road being super bumpy. As we drove out to install wells, the road seemed not so bumpy in comparison with the other roads we’ve been driving on. I mentioned it and Betty said she was just thinking the same thing. Life’s experiences shape how we perceive it.
T-shirt I saw on a boy walking in the market:
Life is simple.
Are you happy?
If yes, keep going.
If no, change something.
Animal sightings: mongoose (ran across the road, very quick), monkey (turned a corner and there he was climbing a tree), lots of donkeys, cows, dogs, chickens, goats
At one well, the headman said that he was very sort thematic there was no time to kill a goat for us, and thus we will have to come back so they can.
A villager told us “God must love you” as we left her village after installing a well that will keep them from drinking with the animals and knowing that the water is safe.
