Sickly Sunday

This morning I awoke unsure as to whether or not I was going to go to Church. I still wasn't feeling 100%, but once I was fully awake I decided I should make the effort and go anyway. I didn't want the boys to miss Church the first Sunday they were here and I didn't want them to have to go without me. So, I got up, got shaved, and got ready.

Everyone else got dressed fairly quickly today and I doubt the bus had to wait on us for more than 5 minutes. Alec thought it was cool that our Sunday bus driver is also named Alec. He said he's the only other Alec he's ever met before.

After we got to Church I took a few pictures.


As services went on I got feeling worse and worse. Brother Dilian trimmed his sermon down a bit because there were some people needing to run heavy equipment who were waiting on our service to finish before they started. To be frank I was grateful. I was beginning to feel almost light headed by the time the service wrapped up.

The bus couldn't get all the way back to the building because of the equipment on the road so we had to walk a short way. It actually made me feel a little bit better.


The fruit above is something I can't remember the name of (Rachel thinks they may be called canips), but they taste a lot like scuppernongs (Jemma bought them and gave us a couple of clusters and we certainly appreciated it).

Most of the rest of the day was spent goofing off on one game or another. I was actually sick enough I didn't feel up to playing much. Of course, I can't sit doing nothing either, so I played one of the laziest games I could find and worked on my maze generator some more as well.


The above picture is a cool cardboard helmet Caleb made. He did a pretty good job of finding things to do while Daddy was out of action. I did try to take them to the sea late in the afternoon, but there were a LOAD of people down there. Some other party was going on. I don't know what it was about, but the music was booming and the sea was full of people. The water was too murky to take any pictures. Isaac started screaming almost as soon as he got in the water. He has a small cut on his foot and the salt water was hurting it. I don't think we stayed five minutes.


I'm sick and tired, so that's all I have to offer today guys. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to do a bit more. :)

For the moment, good night from Dominica!
