about Boda Drivers....

January 28, 2014
Today was really frustrating! It starting in the morning and carried out through the day. First we left for projects; me, Steph and Brad were in one group, Kenny, Rachel, Ashton and Marisa in the other. In my group we went to Cure Hospital first, i guess we didnt make any plans with them to come or anything so we just left our contact info and left. Then walked to Regional Hospital, it was SOOO hot today! Had to try back later there too, we had no secure plans there either… Then off to Budaka health clinic. We got on bodes- said they wii;d take us to Budaka town, we drove from 2-3mins, then they started saying they wouldn't take us there, to take a taxi. They pulled over- not at a taxi park and asked to be paid. Rude! I was going to walk away and not pay them, what they did in not what wee agreed to, but Brad being the nicer guy decided to pay them 500 shillings. Then crammed unto an over stuffed taxi for 40min to Budaka and met with Dimma at the clinic, told her our project ideas, set some goals with them, got the info for the department of health and set a time to come back and start helping! A truck and a taxi driver got into a fight of who we would ride with and we got pushed out of the way, so we waled away and a taxi came driving by us later. Went back to Regional and got things set up. Went shopping for fruit and lunch, then went home and SLEPT! It was a rough day so me and Steph decided to go to the church building and play piano and sing hymns. It made the day a million times better. The caustics in the primary room were beautiful! People showed up 3-4 toward the end and asked us to help them sing/play piano and were joking around etc it just made everything better! Met a guy in our ward named Isaac, he's African, but with  BLUE EYES!! FHE was the funnest volleyball game i have ever played, LOVED IT!
