I realize the past couple of days have been strictly regurgitation, and I apologize. I haven't had any profound insights recently, or at least time to think them through and type them out. My thoughts are racing, and any free time I have is occupied by doing hardcore things. So soon, I will have something more than just a recap of what I've done. For now, you'll have to deal with it.
But speaking of cool things, have I got a cool story for you!
This morning, at 6, 8 of the 11 guys on the trip woke up and went for a manly run in the game reserve. We saw an impala run across the road, and as we kept running, we ended up walking 10 feet away from 4 zebra, and ran past another pair about 20 feet away. The zebra followed us up the hill, and ended up walking right past us. I decided this would be the opportune time to race them, so I ran on the road about 10 yards away, and they ran right next to me. At one point, they moved from the left of the road to the right, and I was moderately frightened because I thought they were coming for me. But the zebra is a gentle creature, and when I beat it in the race, it retreated into the depths of the forest in shame. This run was awesome and manly and nature-filled. What else do you need?
We went to church, but that will be recapped another time.
After lunch, we played a 3 on 3 soccer game barefoot in the sloped field right outside the dining hall. It was intense and great, and all the black Africans were standing outside their rooms, watching and laughing at us. It seems that we're not as good as we'd like to believe. But awesome things like this just keep happening, and I am so excited and encouraged for the rest of the semester. More updates to come, but I'm off to dinner!
