I started reading Blue like Jazz last night and I have already read to page 87! I really like it. It really challenges me on a lot of things. One thing that i discovered was that I am too prideful to truely accept God's grace. I need to really know and believe what complete grace is. Another thing was I realized how shallow my relationship with God really is. I keep working on the tasks(doing and saying the right things) instead of the relationship.
Every morning we start off the day with a devotion and prayer, which i love. Then on Fridays we do worship as well. Today we talked about being still. And how it would seem coming to Africa would cause you to be "more still in Him", however you find stuff to busy yourself with. That is how i feel my first week has been, hopefully as i adjust to the culture i will find more time to be still.
Today at work we finished up the design of the trusses and worked on design spreadsheets. Jake, Kevin, and I went to Cafe Rosa, an Italian place. We got pizza and it was good! ironically i have been in Africa for 9 days and have had pizza 3 times. ( I didnt think there was pizza places in africa!). Phil said that the best chocolate Ice cream he had ever had was there, i had it, it was good, but definitely not the best chocolate icecream ever. It is more like gelato.
Still learning the lingo of a blog post, so sorry if this seems confusing and scatterbrained!
