This morning, instead of going to church (yeah, we were being heathen missionaries), we went for a walk around the neighborhood, mostly to go and see the truck that started growing out of the tree on Friday.
As we were coming home from the UN compound on Friday evening, I was driving, and doing a good check for oncoming vehicles at the uncontrolled intersection, and I spied with my little eye an SUV in a tree. But since it was getting dark and we were hungry, we just came home, wondering where we could get seeds for our own SUV tree.
Then, last night, at our compound Indian-themed dinner, the neighbor mentioned the truck in the tree as well. So we decided this morning that we needed to investigate this phenomenon a little further.
So we all donned our hats and sunglasses and off we trooped for some excercize, fresh air and some new sights. And sure enough, the truck had not yet been harvested from the tree. For some reason, the driver of the truck had not been driving on the real road. He must have hit some boulders off in the grass and got launched up into the tree! Only in Juba.
We actually had quite a pleasant walk. It wasn't outrageously hot, though I was, well, um, sweating a little once we got home :) But that's nothing new around here!
For the rest of the afternoon, we just read a bit, slept a bit, and now, since the generator's on, Internetted a bit! The Sunday afternoon fellowship will begin soon, so I should go and take a shower and put some clean-ish clothes on! Cold showers are becoming my favorite part of the day! One task we didn't do yet is decide where to put the rat glue!
