saturday

Morning- we have this as a time that we eat breakfast then we all walk into town and do shopping as well as work on our Swahili. We have really begun to enjoy these trips as we have begun new relationships with several people that we see each week.

Lunch- we are try to get back home so we can eat lunch and get the kids down for their naps.

Afternoon -kids nap while Kevin and Danielle do Swahili work...4:15 skype with family

Evening- eat dinner and play outside until dark

Sunday

morning- get up and get breakfast a little more relaxed. (right now we are mostly going to church close to town, so we have little travel time)

10:30 walk to church

1:30 or so Church is over and we walk home eat a quick lunch and get the kids down for their nap.

afternoon this is our Sabbath!!! late afternoon we might skype with family and Kevin goes to town

evening eat, then have fun, then off to bed for the kids…after the kids are in bed, then we get ready for Swahili class on Monday.

This is what our weeks look like in general at least for the next month or so….
