An average day looks something like this:
Up at 6:00
Breakfast at 7:00
Devotional at 7:45 (only we are usually tied up taking the kids to school and miss it)
Class at 8:00 (whole group instruction...vocab and grammar)
Chai at 10:00
Class at 10:30 (more whole group and then small group practice)
Lunch at noon (we get the kids from kindergarten first)
Siesta time (only there is no swahili word for this much needed concept in the tropics) - two days a week we meet in the commons room to study the word of God...with people from TZ, Ghana, Nigeria, Indonesia, India, America, Finland, Canada...I'm probably leaving someone out!
2:30 more small group practice
4:00 afternoon tea time
4:30 break...to do some laundry by hand, study, catch up on internet if it is working, have a quiet time, build relationships,
5:30 kids showers
6:00 dinner
6:30 kids in bed *to avoid bites...we don't make them sleep yet, we read to them (right now it's Magician's Nephew)
Evening is time for more studying and a little r and r time...a lot of reflection to take in all the new experiences of the day
Bed comes early...before 9:00

Okay, I'm impressed that you can eat and then get kids to bed in 30 minutes, but then again, if I had the option of staying up or getting bit, I'd go to bed early as well. Looking forward to keeping up and hearing of your journey in another part of the world. I love to talk to Linda on Sundays and see what she's heard from ya'll or how the kids are doing. She always smiles...
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you guys. And please Jen, I love your posts! ALL OF THEM, even the "clean out the fridge or blog". You are just you - being real about whatever is at the top of your list. Be it, apprehensiveness about bloggin, or what to eat for dinner, or the kids, or what God has shown or is showing you. Just share, like you were talking face to face. WE are your friends and we just want to hear whatever is on your heart! Love you guys! You have what it takes...lean into HIM and HE will provide whatever else it is that you need!
