Hope you are all well :)
Well I have now been in The Gambia for a month and a half! So now I'm settled in quite well, and getting used to the work and getting to know the team! For the last month I have been working as a general helper while someone went on holiday :) so this means I've been working in the storerooms and stock checking and making sure everyone has what they need. Starting Monday I will be working in the afternoons with a Gambian midwife, so will hopefully catch a few babies :D other than that I will be doing some admin work as well.
In the evenings we are free to do what we want, so sometimes we watch movies with a big projector, or play pgames or go on walks.
One evening we went fishing in the river, and although we caught no fish, we caught loads of crabs (which we ate for tea) and Robyn caught a snake! Which was taken away and promptly had its head bashed in with a rock by one of the locals!
Hey dad, just to let you know that there's a good connection on facebook free call, spoke to Aiden for a while, so maybe I could call u at tea time?(After boiling)
Another afternoon it was really hot (yes Sam G it was really really hot) so we went to a swimming pool not far away to relax and cool down in the water! Although the water was warm so it wasn't as refreshing as we were hoping, but was still nice to sit in the shade and swim and have chips :) 
We also took the youth group to the river one Sunday afternoon to go swimming! Although a lot of them couldn't swim, so we spent some time teaching them and playing with the ball! We also drank Ataya which is a type of tea, I forgot to take a picture though, sorry!
Last week we also got a cat called Mister Ginger :)
(He also tries to get in through the window) Not sure if that's a good sign given that the cat is a practicality not a pet! I think we've spoiled him already! :/
(This cat knows how to spend Sunday afternoons)
We got him to catch the mice and keep other cats away! But at the moment he's still really little so he hasn't been very effective just yet, and it's also a bit annoying that whenever we put him outside to play and hunt and stuff he cries and cries until we let him back in... 
And this weekend has been a weekend off to spent the day yesterday at the beach and went to a nice restaurant and just basically relaxed :) was lovely!
Will blog again next time I'm somewhere with Wifi :)
God bless!
