One of the swim coaches stopped by my classroom yesterday to inform me that Frances had her picture in "The Nation", which is the national newspaper here. It was kind of exciting, and i know Franny was pretty happy to see her photo in the sports section.
The weather is turning here and getting cooler in the evenings.. It is still clouding over throughout the day, but I haven't seen a good rain storm in a while. Last night was a clear and beautiful and the sky outside our home was amazing.
Not much else to say except a big thank you to the Sheets family for sending a few indestructible soccer balls. Our plan is to take one of them to Mkanda, the village where St. Thomas has built a few homes, and then take the 2nd one with us on our travels and drop it with someone in a more remote village.. As we were driving the other night, there were Sunday night soccer matches all over the countryside with locals crowded around watching the action.. I didn't see many Adidas balls flying around, so a durable, reliable soccer ball with be well received.. I will send pictures once I have delivered them..
Hope all is well back home.. Baseball is around the corner.
