Well there is still no sign of my luggage and they are not on the flight for tonight so I will be heading out to Koutiala tomorrow morning with no luggage. Thankfully the missionaires let me borrow a tshirt and a skirt so I do finally have clean clothes and I did finally get to wash my hair with Shampoo(YEAH!!), but other than that I'm living the simple life. Hopefully my bags will arrive on Monday night and they will but them on the bus to Koutiala so they arrive on Tuesday but we will see.
Last night I went with the missionaries and a group of student from Dakar Acadamy(who were stuck in Mali because they missed their flight) to a resturant called Broadway. It was american food(kinda)and it was pretty good. We also were able to go to the store to buy all of my food items for Koutiala. I will be cooking most of my food which will be very interesting but I am actually really excited to take on the challenge. It is so amazing how different you have to buy all of the food over here, its all in powders or heated, but I'm really excited to start cooking. When we got back I went to bed but was not able to sleep. I woke up around 4:30am and I could hear the Islam Call to Prayer that was happening in town. It was kind of a neat thing to experience
Today I went over to the Ellenberger's, they are in charge of the guesthouse here in Bamako, and they made me a wonderful lunch. We had tacos on real African tortillas : ) While we ate lunch we listened to christmas music and the best part is they have a CHRISTMAS TREE(as you can see above)!! Haha It doesn't quite feel like Christmas as it's 90 degrees outside but I don't mind : ) Tonight we are going to a special Christmas service at church and then having a feast afterwards. It should be fun! Then tomorrow morning I will be travelling to Koutiala with the McClean family(He is the Pediatrition at the hospital). Please pray for safety and that by bags will arrive shortly after I do. Have a great day!
