Jour 4

Thoughts from Africa by Benjamin Lackey, who thinks he is french.

"In fact I am naming my first kid Nickeloden Laserface Lackey."

"I could live in this magasin."

"When I got in the shower, the floor turned black, even before I turned the water on."

"I teleport every 5 seconds, I just don't know cause I forget about it."

Today was kind of a 'laid back' day for the team, we were able to sleep in a bit and enjoy breakfast time before we went to work on the hangar again. Today we laid the support beams in the posts and cleaned out the magasin (or the storage room).

After lunch the team was completely spent but we were told we had to dig 4 more holes, which ended up being finished in 10 minutes and then we had a little bit of afternoon time to rest and nap. Which we very much needed.

Around 4:30 the 'Container' showed up. About once a year all of the missionaires on the field get the container, in which they have packed countless numbers of useful and sometimes very random items that will last them for the rest of there stint before they go home. The 'container' is a semi truck packed to the absolute max, as you can see.

This box required some creativity, it weighed 60lbs. short of 1,000 lbs. and was practically impossible or anyone to carry. Fortunately for us we had some very crafty burkinabe to help us out, it just shows you that you can use what you have to do what you need to do.

After the end of the day we had some time to eat and shower, this is Ben before his first shower in 4 days, if only you could smell him at this moment.....

As for day 4 it went by pretty quick with not a ton to write about, but none the less we did get alot accomplished and were able to serve the Wolters by helping them out on little projects around the house.
