Bill, June 5, 2008:
The guard dog and the rooster woke me up by 6am this morning. I don't know what the dog was trying to scare off, but I didn't mind once I got out of bed. Night time and morning are very pleasant here right now. The cool breeze carries the gentle sounds of the city as well as of the surrounding farms. After scrounging for some instant coffee and a granola bar, I headed up to the roof to see what I could see.
Local girls pass the house on their way to the city and the dogs. Women start working in the fields. Sam Fluegge starts shooting hoops in the basketball court around 6:45am. Dogs chase something through the scrub brush. Chickens and pheasant-like birds peck for food. The onion skins rustle in the cool breeze, too.
When Brian and Matthew wake up, we get ready for Glenn to come by so we can head to the Center. He purposely didn't give us a time although we asked. This is to help us get accustomed to Togo time. So we bide our time by beginning a study of A Man's Guide to Spiritual Disciplines.
When Glenn and the family show up we show him the supplies the Our Savior Lutheran Church donated and he is very grateful. Getting any sort of administrative supplies is difficult and requires that visitors bring them. Delivery of shipped items is not guaranteed.
