Well some days have passed since I have sat down to write an update...
On Friday we went to Talanga again, the nearest town, or “town”. It is small, but has the internet. We get there via the back of a pick-up truck, about a 45 minute drive. It is quite enjoyable, the journey there, unless it rains, but so far we have stayed fairly dry on our trips there. After we use the internet we have been eating at a chinese restaurant, and then we go to the market so we can get what we need, or try to.
Today we had the first kind of introductory meeting to the evangelistic series, which was actually a concert. We performed 3 numbers, the first a choir, the second a violin duet, and third, an “orchestra” of three instruments, flute, trumpet, and violin. The rest of the concert was Samuel's brother, Elijah performing. He had a very nice voice and all in all it went well. The place was packed with definitely over a hundred people, but I'm not sure how many, if it was a couple hundred or what. We had to introduce ourselves once again to all of them, name and country, and were loudly welcomed afterwards, and then following the meeting we were initiated to shake everyone's hand on their way out. We were standing there a while...
Tomorrow we have the childrens program again, and I along with another couple have to clean the town hall wherein we are having these meetings, and then we have to have another special music prepared, andddddd then we will have the meeting.
I have taken to going to bed at about 7:30-8:00pm every night, and since this night's concert went until around 7:45 I was quite near to sleep the whole way through. I am not sure what my sleeping pattern will be like when I get back to Norway, but I have a feeling that staying up until an unearthly hour such as 10:00 will be utter torture! Nahh, I'm sure it will change when there is a light switch that causes a light to be turned on...but when you rely on flashlights after 5:30, it causes you to lose your ambition to stay up too long past the fall of darkness.
Anyway, now it is a horrendous 9:18 and sleep is loudly calling, so I bid thee all a good night.
