Ok, so only in North Africa with some white girls would a day like today happen!!!
So this morning we get up thinking that we are going to a nearby village again with some of our college age friends. Well, we get to the bus station and get on a bus for a nearby village. Everything is going great- other than we were an hour late. So, on the bus ride my friend and I start a conversation with the N Africans sitting next to us. By the end of the "30 minute" ride---turned into an hour--- they were in love with us, especially my friend. So, they ask us to go to their house!! And we want to so the other girls were like "sure for a little while". This was at like 2. We didn't get to their house until 3. We took a bus to their "bus stop". All the bus stop was, was the side of the road. Then the way to their house was even crazier!!....we had to walk at least a mile through a HUGE field, up hills, through cow and donkey droppings. It was not pleasant, to say the least. But when we got there, the people were so friendly! They bought little snacks for us to eat and they made us Mint Tea. It was really nice. And while I helped in the kitchen, the other girls had a chance to witness to our friends who we brought with us! Praise the Lord! So, we ended up leaving their house at 4:30, and we ended up getting down to the road at 5:30!!! Craziness!! And when we got to the road, there were no taxis or buses! So, we ended up hitchhiking!! It was great; we were all so tired but the guy let us ride in the back of his truck!! So, we finally get back to civilization and we get a ride in a glorified minivan. The thing only was supposed to hold maybe 20 people, but we fit at least 25. So, we were jam-packed in the vehicle for an hour! It was bad! My legs were very much squished after that trip!
After all of this happening, I am thankful that we were able to do that. We were able to share the Gospel with all of our friends. We also had a great cultural experience! I will never forget it, that's for sure!!
